Masterpiece and ???
« on: May 04, 2007, 02:24:16 PM »
OK, All of you Legends/LaneMaster affecianados, I recently came back to bowling after a 5 year absence.  I was in the Pro Shop and noticed that the Pro had a used ball for sale - it was a Masterpiece.  After reading up on the ball - I bought it.  I had it drilled with a 5" pin to PAP and the cg kicked out about 3.5" to PAP. I wanted the ball to go long because I like to play the outside line.  This ball goes long, breaks smooth to the pocket and hits hard.  It's beautiful!!  Of course I can't move much further right if I run into heavier oil because I'm alredy playing outside of 10.  What I want to know is, what would be the next logical step up in a L/LM ball that I can use if I run into more oil?  They all look so good.  Any ideas?

Black Pearl is the Masterpiece on steriods (actually on particles).
Yeah Baby! is also a step up, as is the NS2, but the NS2 is more of a control piece. The YB will have a simialr move to the MP. It (the YB) is STRONG.

Thanks,  I will probably be buying something new this summer.  I'll wait and see what new balls L/LM comes out with.  It may be something that fits in with what I need, otherwise the Black Pearl or Yeah Baby look good.  I am also thinking about a Storm Agent.  I like a ball that goes fairly long and has a smooth strong arc.  I bought a Black Widow this past season, and after one good set with it, I had trouble controlling it, so I gave it to my 16 yr.old son.  He loves it - but then he's a power player who rarely ventures outside of the 15th board!
