Then the YB or WCP would serve you better IMHO; BTW ... a New Standard or Big Kahuna will fill that bill too (if you can locate one since they are now out of production/discontinued.

 OH ... and I have one of each of those NIB after finding good deals on them after finding out that they were going to be discontinued; LMK if you'd be interested in one of them ... I'd be willing to part with one of them for the right price.

Robb, Thanks for the input and the offer, I will know more after I visit the pro shop later today.  I just finished reading the reviews on the NS, very interesting!
Carl, thanks for the input - I'm visiting the pro shop with an open mind.  I want to get the ball that will knock the most pins down for me!

I know as much about the real financial sitaution as Mike Miller does which is pretty much nothing, but i keep hearing about they are trying to outsource production to make balls with filler,cover and the core. That they can make about 250-300 balls a day with there current setup and the labor and the giant box is eating them up with extra shipping fees.

Hence they lose the free goodies and use a smaller box on the mid line products to cut down on some costs. When i keep hearing about how the reps for this company do not get paid commmision in a timely fashion and they have guys selling out of there trunks in the las vegas area it makes me wonder.

I could go find a guy that i will not name that sells the newer stuff for 100 that bowls out of the Sun Coast and sells older stuff for 75 a ball. A few local shops have even complained directly to Legends about this deal and this person still is able to keep his little side business going. Come on how are you supporting your local shop's with back door crap like this going down???

Just my opinion which i will always state on here even if i get haters, btw i like Storm products and have had my say on them in the past on here also. Mike Miller seems like a very nice guy and i agree the balls are top notch but he is just hurting himself to limit what brands he sells. To each there own whether it is good or bad and btw i have no beef with you Mr. Patterson so do not take it that way

For what it is worth, my local Pro-Shop Driller Mike Miller at Ten Pins and More in Rio Rancho, NM just switched from being a STORM VIP Shop to a LEGENDS/LANEMASTERS "Pro Performance Member"(he is now listed on their website under pro-shops).  Mike has been with STORM for what seems forever, I doubt Mike would "sign or switch to" a company that was having financial difficulties and was not planning on being around for the long-haul.  For Mike to switch from STORM to LEGENDS/LANEMASTERS in an area that is ruled by STORM, proves he believes that the LEGENDS/LANEMASTERS brand is far more superior and would have not made the jump if he truly did not believe in the product.  I am glad he switched and just did not settle on a one brand dominance(bold move on his part, financially speaking), it sure got me thinking of how long I could have been throwing this great product had he and I had known.  By the way, He drilled my 1st LEGENDS/LANEMASTERS ball in the "Black Pearl" last month and it is absolutely amazing. Actually, I am going by his shop this afternoon to have the "Big Bang" and maybe something else drilled up.
