The new coverstock comes out of the box sanded with 2000 Abralon. We found the X-Cell to easily handle heavy volumes of oil while still providing a strong back end motion with lots of continuation.
The X-Cell’s strong overall motion allowed Cranker to demolish our heavy oil test pattern. The ball easily dug into the oil, giving him tons of recovery on this slick condition. He could be aggressive with both his speed and his release without the ball over-hooking at the end of the pattern. As good as the ball was on the fresh, he was worried about it burning up as the pattern broke down.
