Title: What 3 balls would you like to see from LM/L??
Post by: LaneHammer20 on December 22, 2009, 11:28:39 PM: What 3 balls would you like to see Lane masters/Legends produce. They can be a whole new piece or a remake.

1st. I would want them to remake the Buzz, They do not have a ball that fills that kind of condition in their line. It was probably one of their best. In the same league as Black Pearl Reactive that they seemed to produce so little off, and it really angers me.

2nd. Dont'' know how this would work out. But use the Hornet idea in like a solid reactive, or particle ball. Harder shell that still bites thorugh carrydown and allowas you to play strait up the side without being power robbed or wild on the backend. This ball may be undoable, but it sounds awesome since I love my Hornet and I wish I had something to play the same spot before switching to it.

3rd. Maybe a Terminator remake???????????

This 4th one is just a wild card. Would like to see a assymetrical from LM/L. I know they woudln''t do this but. I just would want to see how much one of their covers would hook with a .20 mass bias core in their to pump it up. I feel it would be sickening.

Lets hear what you got.

Post by: milorafferty on December 23, 2009, 09:18:58 AM: I would take the original World Class Particle first, then the Masterpiece. I would say the Buzz, but you can still find those for sale online. For a new release, I feel LM needs a less aggressive product, something between the Sure Strike and the Hornet.

Yea, yea, I know I can change the surface, release, ball speed etc, but what would I use to fill my 6 ball bag then? :-)

Post by: charlest on December 23, 2009, 11:24:36 AM: I liked the idea of a mild solid, somewhat on a par with the Hornet. They had one, called the Extreme Impact, way back when they first started and took over for AZO. Since they have the molds for the core and the same resin supplier, it couldn't be that hard to replicate.

The Sure Strike is an excellent ball. That one shoudl be kept. I don't like the idea that the Solid Strike, its successor, was made "grabbier" with an additive (my terminology, based on what I read). The Sure Strike is already strong enough that it needs either medium oil or higher ball speed to handle less than medium oil.

Just above the Hornet, a Buzz and a Sure Strike/Solid Strike and a Terminator Rebellion are excellent balls for medium-light to medium oil.
I wish they'd keep the Terminator Rebellion.

Post by: Laybzz74 on December 23, 2009, 03:22:55 PM: +1 for the KONG(ORIGINAL coverstock, NOT the subsequent "weak" pours),
Absolute Power ... with a new coverstock (to fit above the HORNET), and
+1 again ... for the Terminator Rebellion.

Post by: Graaille on December 23, 2009, 03:30:53 PM: I think a Masterpiece remake would be a great idea as well - frankly I''m a bit suprised that LM didn''t do a Particle (Yeah Baby), Particle Pearl (Xtreme Damage), and Solid (Masterpiece) combo the first time around. Of course, there have been a couple of other pairings that didn''t have the Particle Pearl middleground. (Thinking of the Terminators and the Big Bangs here - the New Standard/Black Pearl line took a few years to come around to the BPR).

Another suggestion would be a true pearl in a couple of their lines - most would agree that the Buzz was a fantastic ball, but to my rememberance (at work so I don''t have access to all my notes), it was pretty much if not the only true pearl, then only one of a couple LM ever produced.

edit (and yes, I''m enough of a geek/fan to make notes on all data pertaining to every ball line made by LM, I''ll admit it. RG values, coverstocks, resurfacing procedures, etc.)

Post by: Shaggy on December 23, 2009, 08:22:17 PM: I would like to see the return of the Yeah Baby with a more adjustable coverstock similar to the Black Diamond. World Class core with an Evolution reactive coverstock would be a winner.

Post by: dennis_michael on December 24, 2009, 07:13:00 AM: Please, please, bring back the Terminator. Mine is 5 years old. Another 299 just last week. Darn push with the ring finger on 12th ball. But, it is starting to see a little wear, and has had some lane damage. He would love a little brother.

Other than that, the World Class was eaten by a lane machine. Loved that ball. But, the good thing was that its replacement was my Terminator. I'd sure like to have another, though.
Title: Re: What 3 balls would you like to see from LM/L??
Post by: Pat Patterson on December 24, 2009, 08:03:24 AM: Terminator
Buzz
Masterpiece
Big Kahuna
World Classes
Kong

Sorry, couldn't leave it at 3............If they brought these back I'd have to take out a major bank loan to buy a case of each!

Also, would love to see a 4 or 6 ball roller

Post by: LaneHammer20 on December 24, 2009, 11:30:28 AM: I see alot of peoplke really liked the Kong, don't know much about that ball, what was its strong points.

Keep this post going. I would like to see poepl mention a ball thewy would like to see that hasn't been already produced. Give Tony some ideas.

I would love to see some re-releases of past equipment, using the same resin and particle base. I would be spending way to much money, haha. They could do limited runs. They would sell that is for sure.

Post by: charlest on December 24, 2009, 02:27:29 PM: Guys,

Tony already said they're not going to make any more diamond/Super Carbon particle balls. So forget about the BK, NS, YB and Kong. I think the World Class particle balls also used Super Carbon. Sorrryyyy!

I liked the idea of a mild solid, somewhat on a par with the Hornet. They had one, called the Extreme Impact, way back when they first started and took over for AZO. Since they have the molds for the core and the same resin supplier, it couldn't be that hard to replicate.

Post by: LanemasterLefty on December 25, 2009, 09:10:27 AM: 1. I agree with Charlest - Keep the Terminator Rebellion
2. Terminator Perl
3. and as someone already said, something between the straight flush and the Sure Strike..
Title: Re: What 3 balls would you like to see from LM/L??
Post by: John D Davis on December 25, 2009, 10:34:00 PM: I would also like to say... I used alot of Lane Master balls there for a while, and the Terminator ranks as one of the best top 5 balls I have ever thrown! I have drilled probably over a thousand balls and for me to say this means alot.

The Terminator hold up like no other and the appearance is quiet awsome as well. I was fortunate enough as well to throw the Conquerer and it was something else too. Two very amazing balls in my hands. I think that Terminator Bell shaped core matched up pretty good.

The rebellion was kinda iffy for alot of people, but it would be quiet awsome I think if they make a pearl terminator that is reactive...

Post by: Mike E on January 24, 2010, 09:25:52 AM: 1.-Hornet
2.-Buzz
3.-Kong
I think these 3 would cover 90% of the conditions most league bowlers face.

Post by: batbowler on February 23, 2010, 11:04:05 PM: I talked to Galen today when I ordered my The Buzz and he said if they make a limited run of anything that used the Diamond Particle or Carbon Particle that it would be the same as the original! The cost is why they don't use a lot of it now, but for a limited re-release they would match the original coverstock! The Terminator, Kong, and Yeah Baby was mentioned in the conversation and the original Kong was one of their best sellers when it first came out!

was there any indication that they would be doing this in the near future.
Title: Re: What 3 balls would you like to see from LM/L??
Post by: batbowler on February 24, 2010, 09:42:58 AM: When I talked to Galen yesterday, he said their plan was to do a re-make of one of their top sellers from the past and make a limited run like they did on the Buzz! It will probably be late March to early April when we will hear on the next ball! Stay posted and when or if I hear somebody, I'll let you know! Hey, I'm excited alright just thinking about the possibilities!
