Is anyone still using this ball? If so, how is the ball performing after 50+ games?
You will not see me on the PBA Tour, but I love the game!!!

Still have it, and won't get rid of it. It's usually my No2 ball out of my bag. On heavier lane conditions, I will generally start with My Widow Maker or my Terminator. By game 2, it's time for the XD. And, it doesn't disapoint.
My first ball with it is always a STRIKE. The ball fits well, and I know exactly what it will do on spent conditions. It ignores carrydown and finishes strong every time. Gives me confidence to change.
It's my regular ball on a House Shot which is my second league, different house. So, it has become lane and house specific.
Gotta have 200+ games on it. After each 60-70, I touch it up, 320-500-800. Then, some LM polish, which it really doesn't need, but I like the shine.
I still have it, I guess 60 + games, had it slightly polished, for med - drier conditions. The pin action is great, I get many strikes when missing the head pin. The angularity is the best in the Lanemaster line, sharp turn to the pocket. I have mine drilled pin above ring finger, so there's length with snap. I have three honor scores, should have a few more.
So far, no loss or disappointment with this ball.
