Roomies, your feedback and opinions are welcome !!!(check my profile for the layouts so that you understand my order here)
 "Strongest" to "weakest" balls, descending order:
- Terminator(polished particle) medium to medium-heavy
- 2 World Class (particle) heavy to medium-heavy, slightly different layouts
- World Class reactive medium
- New Standard (particle) medium *My benchmark ball*
- Masterpiece (reactive) medium
- KONG (particle) medium to med-light
- Big Kahuna (particle) 2.5 by 3 layout/polished; early revving and tame backend
- Absolute Power (raective) light
- Straight Flush (three piece reactive) for "dirt" conditions
- Arrow (plastic) spare ball

 You now have an idea of my planned arsenal for the 2006-07 season !!! And it'll obviously be 100% Legends/LaneMasters balls !!!

Hey Laybzz74, any chance you can post pictures of this equipment?
I don't see Lanemasters or Legends balls very often (more like, never) and I'd like to see how some of these balls really look. Somebody recently posted a pic of a World Class for sale and it looked nothing like what I was expecting, including that it looked pearly (but like a Brunswick pearl, so not too pearly) and more teal than anything.

Amigo,
 I bowl 2 leagues and sub regularly on a couple more. I turn 50 this month and plan on putting in for my PBA card and getting into a few Senior Reginal tournaments in this region this coming season.

Walking E,
 I need to sit down and take pix of my "L/L babies soon, for sure !!! If I can figure out which online .com would be the easiest and most user-friendly to use, I'll do that soon. I have a digital camera and can download pix but have never uploaded them to a site like some of the BR roomies in here have done ... I like the slideshow feature that I've seen on a few that have been posted or in our profile area.

Ron,
 YUP !!! Had to make the plunge and get the MP !!!

Question: If I drill a NS and a MP with the same exact layout will it react the same or different because of how the ball is made..??

Different reactions; the NS is light load particle ball and the MP is reactive resin;. There is nothing wrong with doing the same layout, especiaally if it's a layout that you like and that works for you (many people do that and many recommend it), but you will see different reactions.
 As I do with most of my responses, I'd contact Galen at Legends and get his thoughts on your ideas before drilling.
 Good luck ... and post feedback on both after you get them punched out.

If I had the time to bowl and relax, I would have a similar line up like you. Please post up review for the Paticle WC and the Terminator. With so many L/L you going to be a L/L guru like Galen.. LoLz..

For bowling in the two houses I bowl in, I don't need a huge arsenal. I have been communitating with Galen and he has recommended 3 balls for me to start with along with the drilling layout for each ball. He has recommended:

World Class Particle
World Class Reactive
Straight Flush

I plan on getting a World Class Particle within the next 2 weeks or so and if I am happy with it, then I will move on to the World Class Reactive and then the Straight Flush for the drier lanes. Yeah, and get this..... regardless of whats been written in the past, they will all be 14# balls if the first one works OK. Galen has convinced me they will do what I want, so I am going to "give it a try".

I feel these symetrical cores along with the covers that are on the balls, that there is a good chance they will match up to me better than the strong assymetrical cores that haven't matched up to me very well. I'm excited to try the first ball.

Rob, I appoligize if I have hi-jacked your post here.

Man Robb, How many ball roller you carrying to fit all those in..?? LoLz..

Well, I'm waiting till the Big-R-Bang comes out then I'm pretty much set..

My arsenal will include:

Terminator --> Medium - Heavy Oil
Big-R-Bang --> Medium
The Buzz --> Medium - Dry

Even though i wont be able to cover as much area of the lanes as you  but it will be a nice start. What are you're thoughts on my set up? I was thinking about a NS too but i think it will have a conflict with the Big-R- bang...

Yo "True",
 Not bad ... but I'd prefer the WC or Big Bang for heavier oil and drilled STRONG !!! Can't comment on the Big R Bang yet, but the Buzz should work OK too.

 BTW, I have a STORM Rolling Thunder 6 ball roller and a HAMMER 4 ball inline roller with a "joey", as well as a LEGENDS 2-ball tote for my overflow (but  I'm really trying to keep it under an even dozen(currently at 11)!!!
