It was just reviewed in Bowling This Month nothing but huge praise, this ball is a must have because it is solid reactive. Mid price and a solid perfomer on most conditions, i think it must be coming anytime soon.

Pushed back because of the popularity of the Sting....few others.

See pics I posted of the LM/L plant it's not huge by any means.  Product doesn't fly out the door like some other mass produced stuff.

I learned long time ago from using lots of Visionary stuff that patience is a virtue.  

You may have to wait a bit Joe for that ball you won on the raffle.  Try writing Galen for info.  Rob always posts his e-mail addy.

I believe the BTM rating on medium's is 9.5/9.5/9 stroker/tweener/cranker i might have one mixed up but very good medium ratings.

Kind of interesting Cerar didn't give the XS Power a great review but BTM did I think as Barry said but Joey gave the Sting an outstanding review as did BTM.  Hmmmm.

Brown just delivered my XS Power.
This ball looks awsome.
Even though the stats say 800 matt finish, this ball has a slight polish look to it.
Getting in drilled today.
Pin under ring finger
CG kicked out 1.5 inches from the midline.
weight hole

Will let you know how it roll . . .

XS POWER is a Beast.
I don't know if this holds true for anyone else, but I never really like Lane Master balls in there out of box condition.
After having it drilled. (pin under ring finger, CG kicked out 1.5 inch from the center line) I tested it out for two games.  It seemed to skate just a little too much for me so, back to the pro shop.  Had it hit with 2000 and then glassed up to a super tacky finish.  This ball looks great polished.

My league started and I opened up with my Sting the first game (221).
Pulled out my XS POWER the second game and it literally opened up the entire left side.  The low RG 2.525 and high Diff 0.55 really picks up in the mid-lane and finishes with a hard controlled flip at the break.  Carrydown was never a problem as I watched others struggle.  You can play out and up the boards or move in and swing it.  I played up the 12 board (258).
Hit just as hard as my Sting.  The perfect ball to go under my Sting and above my Sure Strike.  A definate KEEPER!

Sting (pin under ring finger CG kicked out 2 inch)
XS Power (pin under ring finger CG kicked out 1.5 inch)
Sure Stike ( pin unde ring finger CG kicked out 1 inch)
