Ok found some info, three guys decided to start own ball company out the Syracuse area. Ball is the Lochness Monster and being poured by 900 G. Intersting... Anyone else have anymore info?

There was a thread started on BBE awhile ago. I think the Loch Ness is a ball that'd work well for me, but having to pay $175 for it is a turn off. I'd assume my Freak Show Solid is very similar but 1/2 the price

I wish them luck

It's a low end core too. It's unfortunate that you gotta charge HP pricing to have a ball manufacturered privately. 

I follow the Facebook page and good things are said. Appears to be a "good" release with many honor scores in such a small customer base. 

Would probably fit a "I need IQ tour strength but more back end" role in the bag.

monster bowling is the company my pro shop operator helped start. he is the designer of the ball. i wouldnt call it a low end core. its low RG medium differential. its based on the old triton heat core with modified densities. the cover on it global would not tell them what it is but they requested something similar to R2S.

i have roughly 50-60 games on my lochness already and i cant put it down. its medium in every sense of the word. medium length, heavy rolling, very versatile. ive had looks on short, medium and long patterns, house shots it blends the wet dry. one week in my sport league we were on 43' and i had a look on the gutter and inside of third arrow.

billdozer i would say it has a similar shape as an IQ solid but slightly stronger overall because it finishes better.  it reminds me of a columbia resurgence or GB2 with a little more flip or a slightly weaker marvel-S

in terms of pricing, its all the same. in on the same price point as an IQ. i believe they are selling to proshops for 125 and allowing them to sell for what ever they want $145 or higher plus drilling. seems to be pretty standard
