This simply is the best ball to date I have ever thrown.  
I took it out of the box and had it drilled and rolled a 219, 249 and 255 with
little concentration.  The ball just seeks the pocket and locks in
and knocks all the pins down.  The technical paperwork and cleaner and polisher sent with the ball is simply awesome.  This ball is the best ball I've ever thrown.  
It works well on medium to heavy oil with dry back ends. I own the vortex 2, vortex particle, X factor and X factor deuce.  This is the one.  Nothing compares.

Well guys, I just had this puppy drilled today.  I only threw about 7 games with it, and I feel the urge to let the secret out.  Lanesmasters is a new force to be reckoned with!!!  This Massive Impact is all of that...and then some.  Had mine drilled stacked with about half leverage.  The lane condition was very wet/dry without huge backend.  If I had to guess, the lanes hadn't been stripped in at least a few days as there was some carry down.  I didn't realize this ball was a particle, but after throwing it I believe it.  It rolled REALLY early for me, yet it still cleared the heads ok.  When I slow the ball down, it reads the dry extremely early, and when I throw it hard at the ditch, it stands up nicely, flares, and makes a smooth move to the pocket.  The Massive Impact seems to hook quite a bit!  I know it's only 7 games, but I experimented with it a lot and noticed it's a HUGELY VERSATILE BALL!!!  I really can't say enough good things about this ball at this point.  I'll have to give you all an update after I get about 40-50 games on it.  I can't see my opinion changing on this ball, so I'm going to go ahead and grade it now...

I spent a lot of time researching before deciding on a LaneMasters ball. Drilled the ball stacked leverage for my higher ball speed and stroker release. Weight hole on my VAL about 2" below my PAP. Out of the box the ball did what was expected as a medium oil ball and sanding to 600 grit gave it an earlier roll for medium-heavy condition. Very consistent ball. Did not do well on carrydown. Strong arc reaction. Does not like extreme conditions but a versatile ball for med/light - med/heavy conditions. Polishing for length is very easy and appears to bring out the best reaction in this ball. 8/10
