Black Diamond
« on: July 04, 2009, 11:45:10 AM »
The BD won't be out until early August, I called Lanemaster's and spoke with Tony.  He claims this will be their best selling ball ever.  It's stronger than the Black Pearl, with the strongest backend snap in the Legends/Lanemasters line.  I've heard some have been released at nationals and was wondering, can someone compare this ball to the Terminator and Black Pearl?

Thanks,
Elvis...

I don't have a problem with it, I think the name is great. I am just wondering if they got to use the name for free, or did they have to pay Brunswick to be able to use the name Black Diamond?

 Big B had a ball named that many years ago when balls were still made from hard rubber, and I wonder if they outright owned that name, or what?

 anybody know?

I love Lanemasters but ALL ball manufactures are supposed to say that, LOL.
