I'd say it depends...

If you're looking to mimic the reaction that the Omega Lion was designed for in its time(assymetrical with a strong backend), then I'd look at something like The One or Big Time Pearl.

If you're looking for something to mimic the reaction that the Omega Lion has on todays conditions, I'd look at a resin with a lengthy cover.  Maybe something like the Fire or Crossfire would suit you well.

something like this:

At least gives a photo of the core.  Looks like it may be a moderately strong core... The cover was reactive pearl..and being from 1996, it would likely be considered very "mild" by today's standards.  I would say that the ball would be nice on drier league shots or just when other equipment is over reacting.

Ahhhhh, the mighty Lion!!! lets see now...Very different responses to different drillings, that core was strong, a bit too much for the shell if anything, didnt like carrydown. Could create a bit too much angle in the back 20 ft sometimes and ring a lot of 10 pins. I've had 2 of these over the last 9 yrs. The first one with a skid/flip layout, then plugged and redrilled with the earliest rolling layout on the sheet. The 2nd one i drilled Axis/leverage. So they all had leverage pin positions but moving the mega strong mass bias around changed the balls balls reaction a lot. Interested to know what layout he has on it. Not the most forgiving ball ever made, like all the Omegas it doesnt hold pocket real well(not with the drillings i've had on them anyway) This ball either works or it doesnt, no real half measures with it. But when it's 'on' you wont find much that can hang with it, even after 10 yrs.

OK Kalannar, can you tell me which letter on the drillers clock is pointing straight up, i've got the drillsheet around somewhere still so i can tell you from that what layout it has. Might have a practice with mine Friday, just for fun!!!

Adrian,

I just looked at the drill pattern on it and the pin is directly below the bridge and in between the E and F is pointing straight up. the Omega symbol is down to the left at about a 45° angle from the pin. There is also the small clear pin that is below and to the left of the thumb hole about 15° off the grip line. It looks to be about a 1" to 1-1/2" pin. I looked at the ball this morning and now it doesn't seem to be cracked as bad as I thought it was a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I was really tired when I looked at it last. So, if you could get me those drilling options that would be great.

Thanks,
Mike
