- Yes, it was the CRUSH/R. It is an orange color. I have seen a BLUE
- CRUSH (no /R) in the pro-shop where I bowl. The difference is the
- BLUE is not the "reactive" ball. I have had it drilled and it works
- pretty well, although last night in league it got stuck in the ball
- return (no damage) and I was told that if I used any "reactive"
- ball that it was at my own risk of having the ball damaged by the
- equipment. I went back to my purple hammer the rest of the night
- and still had a 570 (182 188 206). Too bad tonight is my FBL night.
