The Lion was basically of the skid/flip variety. While it had an asymmetric core, and Ebonite had some instructions for drillers, I doubt, at that time, many took advantages of its flexibilty. Most just drilled it strong.
It was probably somewhere between a Visionary Green Gargoyle and a Hammer Emerald Vibe in its ability to handle oil, but was similar to both in its basic ball reaction.
(GG handles light to medium-light oil and the Emerald handles medium-light to medium oil, in general. Both are of the "Left turn now, Clyde!" variety.)
