I would like to know more about this ball if some one can please tell me about it. Also what their thoughts are about it and if they think this might be a very good ball for oil? Thanks

I just got mine this week and it IS a "oiler" ... even though it's a polished particle, it still handles a decent volume of oil IMHO.
 There are other posts about it in this forum ...

It is a great ball for heavier oil!  Based on the great core of the AMF Titan..

Well if it's medium heavier(polished) or more(dull)...it is great with a great ball motion.

Yeah ... the "T" core is kinda like the Yeah Baby, if you check out the "L/L" ball cores.

Mine is on the way.
In my sport shot league last night the L/L rep threw his and had the front seven out of the gate. Checked up like a low RG ball but retained all of it's energy at the break point and has more backend then you can imagine.

I'm confused about the TNT too, I just found a picture of the core and it looks like a bomb, not the same shape as the core of the Terminator, which has a concaveness to it.

I don't see the slightest resemblance to either the AMF Titan's nor the TNT's core in the Lanemasters Terminator's core.

Also I would like to know if any one might have a #15 NIB one of these that they might like to trade.

Hey Bowler-

There is some info posted on www.bowlingballmall.com about the Terminator.  I also spoke to Pat Duggan (he runs the site) on the phone.

This should be a great ball for medium-heavy to heavy conditions.  How heavy...I'm not sure.

I will be getting one very soon and I am going to try it on a MEDIUM condition, with dry outsides and a flood on the middle...A.K.A a THS lol.

I doubt you'd find anyone looking to trade a NIB right now, so your best bet would be to wait a little while and let people throw it and post their reviews, and see what happens.

From experience I can tell you I have NEVER been dissapointed with the L/L equipment I have thrown, and I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

Take Care!

Nobody bit his head off. The idea is to make a correction. The point is when the cores have similar shapes, you can draw certain conclusions about ball motion when balls are drilled similarly and within the bounds of the coverstock's potential. But people do draw those conclusions!

However, if the shapes are NOT similar, those conculsions cannot be used. Saying they are alike misleads people, however unintentional.
