I'm calling this one the Red/Blue, as one website did to distinguish it from the Exodus Iron (a particle ball) and the Exodus Pearl. The red & blue colors are quite muted on this and you better look twice before you pick up someone else's ball. Anyway, it's a solid resin with a 2 piece construction - no filler, like many Lane Masters balls
Drilled mine, 80 x 4.5 x50, pin in ring finger hole, no weight hole. 15 lbs.
Threw a couple of games last night in practice on used oil which, when fresh, are a medium-heavy inside, board to 8 board, with a sparkin' desert outside of 8. There was surprisingly still enough inside oil to use this ball, but even the inside gave me pull area, where the fresh needs a Nano-strength ball to give you that.
Okay, the good part:
It still got good and mostly easy length with a hard arc on the backend.
With more speed, the backend was much reduced. Slow down a little and you can get a lot more. Control was not a problem. I agree with one of Tony's references in the BJI review of this ball: it can be a bechmark for both general use and as an example of what LordField is capable of making. If that's the case, their future is rosy.
Both I and my friend are long time users of Lane Masters balls and his 2 overriding comments were
1. "It hits like a Lanemasters ball" (he traded his last 2 LM balls away because they hit too hard and were always leaving solid 8 and 9 pins)
2. "You're bringing it to league, tomorrow, right?" He said that 3 or 4 times.
Because my Tuesday league, described above, is closer to medium-heavy with a severe wet/dry, this ball may be too over/under on fresh conditions,
and my Thursday league is more medium-light. I'd have to stand 40 and try to get it out to 5 board, it is not really suitable for either one. It seems to be a medium oil benchmark with a hard arcing backend, FOR ME, WITH MY DRILLING.
It does hit hard, but many first use balls do. Let's see what happens after 15 - 20 games. I cleaned it thoroughly with Hook-It before I left the lanes.
