Ive had my Guaranteed since its release and it is indeed smooth but consistent.
the heavy load particle makes this ball my ball of choice when the volume of oil is on the heavier side. what I like most about the ball is that it will let you know immediately that its time to put it away. not a ball that like to be forced into war so speak smile. Also had the xs power it was not the oiler the Guaranteed is for me

the guaranteed was one of my favorite balls of all time. it was so smooth on all conditions and its a ball i can still play way inside or way outside. the xs power hooked too early for me and died out.. the guaranteed never died out at the end.

As far as I know, both are very smooth rolling, arcing balls. The XSP is for mediums to almost medium heavy oil. It has a lower RG and fairly high RG differential for lots of flare - pretty strong ball for Lm/L. For medium oil, a higher ball speed or lower rev rate may make this ball work better due to the low RG and high flare. One of the few balls I'd suggest a high pin drilling for the average bowler.

The Guaranteed is a heavy load of particles and is intended for the next level of oil over the XSP. It needs medium-hevay oil at a minimum or fairly high ball speed/rev rate ratio. It was guaranteed to hook on anything. It'll roll out and hit weak without enough oil or enough ball speed.

How is it with these LM balls with filler? Do they die fast?

Sure. After 1 game you throw them away. Lanemasters only makes money when you continue to buy ball after ball, just like Ebonite.  .....
