The ABC approved list now approves quite a few new lane masters balls; Some of which names are, well, kinda wierd (yeah baby, why in the heck would you name a ball yeah baby???). So, can we expect some new lane masters balls here or is lanemasters going overseas.

Storm need more YELLOW and ORANGE balls!

That is a new of a Ball that LaneMasters is releasing.
I think that a lot of the names for bowling balls are out there.

Probably not. And don't expect Lane Masters to display the "actual" cores on their website initially ;-). It just isn't their way. Many balls today really have titles for names.

The story I just heard, directly from Legends/Lanemasters is this:
Walter Ray Williams was testing some new unnamed balls for Palmer Fallgren (who is now part of the Legends/Lanemasters organization). Walter threw a shot with the Yeah, Baby!, which was just a test ball. The strike sent 3 pins back towards the foul line; WRW was throwing about 21 mph. Palmer let loose with the quoate, "Yeah, Baby!". Several lanes over, a elderly lady in a wheel chair was using a ramp to roll a ball down the lane, got a strike, and yelled, "Yeah, Baby!" herself. So, they felt the ball was christened.

I really want to try one of the new ones, I just don't which one yet since I have no clue what cores are in them or the specs.

John told me the New Standard has high RG (2.6, according to the website), 800 wet/dry sanded finish. The Yeah Baby is about 5 ft early with the same drilling.
I'm leaving my NS as is (800 grit), trying it on at least 2 conditions, on eof which will be medium to medium-heavy oil; then I will add some polish to see what that reaction looks like on a drier condition, probably a medium-light oil pattern. WIll report any non-standard behavior early; will report further details later. Real reviews take a long time (2-4 months).
