Got this one in a trade and, since I already had a "heavy oil" ball, I decided to polish this one up and drill it for some snap. This was a pretty good ball. It reads the lane very well and gave a good degree of pop on the backend. I found that for solid mediums this drilling and coverstock prep allowed me to play areas that lines that others were unable to use. The hit of the LRG was not nearly as strong as the Super Carbide Bomb, but it was not at all bad either. Not sure how this ball does in box finish for the heavy oil for which it was designed, but versatility alone make this one an 8 out of 10.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

Got this ball a long time ago, and drilled it with a cg axis hole.  It is not for heavy, more of a medium oil ball.  Good ball, and carries well.

Got this ball used from Drillwizard in great shape.  1:30 label drilling with a 1" pin.  Probably a 5 x 5.5 drill.  Coverstock left with box finish.

I love this ball and I always have been splitting time between this ball and the uranium.  Although they are completely different in their reactions, I find that they can often be played on the same shot.  The best thing about the LRG is its smooth heavy arc to the pocket.  Very controlable and predictable can carry shots from first arrow to third arrow with this ball.  I don't like to play any deeper than 3rd arrow, so I usually change balls if this becomes the case.  

Benchmark ball by Lane#1 with its consistent roll and carry on most conditions except for dry.  10 out of ten.

I've found that the RESET button is the easiest way to knock down ten pins.
