Looked up my coach who is now on the Lane Master Staff.
He just got his shipment of the "Hornet".
Picking mine up on Thursday!
Can't wait.
The lanes at the house I bowl at break bown very fast.
The Hornet should give the viable option I need to go to so I won't have to fight the conditon.
I'll give a initial review monday as I will be able to use it Saturday night on my 5 man team. The lanes are usually toast by the middle of the second game.

Post by: C-G ProShop-Carl on February 27, 2007, 12:12:01 PM: I believe there is supposed to be a significant difference in the hardness of the coverstocks. That is surely enough to give a different reaction. The Hornet sounds like a great addition to the LM/L lineup.

Post by: robospare on March 02, 2007, 09:37:05 AM: Picked up my Hornet last night.
Very nice looking ball.
Dark money green.
The shell is very hard compared to the other L/L ball.
Almost feels like plastic because it does not have that tacky feel to it.
Getting it drilled today.
Let you guys know what it does Monday.

Post by: NappyCuts on March 03, 2007, 10:51:28 AM: Yes....this has been covered. They are on a few UK sites shown in red. I was told that the red ones are identical to the US version (green) aside from color. I think the green one is a much nicer looking ball anyhow.
