Answer after getting a chance to look in his bag!
In his big handed style this ball had so much sharp movement and reaction I couln't believe it. A lot of hit too. I was just watching that day and when I had left the area and been in the same league everyone had been using strong equipment. Now it seemed that the equipment was for lighter oil.
It looked great but I'm not sure of the control or how my more normal hand would handle it!

I have had it about a month and the results have been good. My fist 300 game in practice and 13 in a row the week later. The ball goes long and hits hard but I am still getting used to it. I hope the results will continue to be good.

I have a big handed friend. I had posted a question earlier asking what AZO ball was blue and green yellow. Well know I know it was the AZO/Lanemaster

Lucky,
I'd love to see how much hand this guy has and what he did to get that ball to hook. When I first got mine, the cover was so highly polished (more than any other ball I have EVER seen) that I'd guess it was sanded to 3000 grit and polished to AT LEAST 4000 grit. It barely hooked, in box condition, more than my Blue Dot. I tried 3 surface changes so far. The first one that actually showed some signs of life (the 3rd surface change I made) was 1200 grit dull.
Through all this, even using Lanemasters' own "Super-cleaner" (their words), I never got the ball to feel that resin tackiness. I used Track's Clean and Dull and Neo-Tac's Hook-it, all to no avail. With any degree of polish, the ball has a greasy feel that polyester balls get when oil just lays on them. This situation makes me feel that the ball's pores are clogged. It may need to be sanded to 320 grit and then brought up to whatever is your preferred grit, in order to un-clog the pores. Resins and particle pearls do have to absorb at least some oil to perform properly.
Hmmmm, I wonder if this is not a urethane pearl with particles in the coverstock, like some of Visionary's balls (Scorcher, Purple Ice), which were/are urethane-based particles ?????
All told, it seems exceedingly difficult to get this ball to perform; not a good sign.
