This sanded surface allows the Strife to pick up the lane early, making this the best Moxy ball for heavier and longer oil patterns.

The Strife’s dull finish allowed all three of our testers to easy see traction on our heavy oil test pattern. Stroker was playing up the 12 board with very little swing to the right.
