The Answer
« on: August 24, 2006, 08:57:20 AM »
Hi all,

I have found a 15lb Answer on Australian Ebay, has anyone here had any experience with this ball (there aren't that many reviews on it unfortunately). I'd just like to get some info on it before I decide if I want it or not.

Thanks heaps

Dale

Dale,
 Here a few more reviews; BTW, I had one ... a decent ball for medium-light conditions, being a particle pearl, and for spotty conditions with a lot of "over-under". I sold mine because my arsenal was growing so large (see profile). Not a bad ball for the right conditions and for a good price.
 Hope that this helps somehow ...

I think there could be a problem with any one version of the The Answer. This is the ball that turned me onto Lasnemasters the VERY hard way. I liked what BTM had to say about it, bought one anddrove myself crazy tryign to make it work:
drilled it twice, tried 3 differentr surfaces on each drill; tried each of those 6 "balls" in 3 different house at several different times. Th ebest I could do was to make it hook 3 boards more than my "Rock of Ages", the original Columbia Blue DOt.

I finally contacted Lanemasters and they sent me a new New Standard, free. Been hooked on Lanemasters/Legends ever since.

I'd be careful about the The Answer. SOme have had success like Robb. Others like have not. I think they made 3 version, one of which had a urethane cover, or so the rumor went.

Sounds like a crap shoot then; regardless of my input and having had some success with the one that I had, I'd say ... stay away.

Robb, don't you remember that story from like 18+ months ago, when I got my first New Standard??? I was ready to kill something with that Answer. You have no idea how I tried to get it to work. That brief summary doesn't begin to tell the grief I went through, but Lanemasters came through like a champ!

Nope ... I actually don't ( but I've slept since then ); but the fact that they stood behind their product doesn't surprise me in the least !!!

Back to topic; probably best to stay away ... there are better "L/L" balls with a proven track record out there.
