I have a Green Messenger, that I have recommissioned into my arsenal, and am tearing it up with! The past three weeks in my Monday nite league, I''ve shot 679, 681, and 663 with this ball!

In it''s day it was touted as a med/hvy oil piece. These days at best, it''s a medium oil piece. For me, I use it on lite oil conditions. The ball has a light polish on it, and I am just ripping the racks with it.

Our house has changed the shot, gone to a lesser volume of oil, and all of the newer equipment just hooks right off the lanes.

The GM has always been a good control piece with a nice soft arc to it for me, whenever I put hand in it. Generally though, it will give you kind of a hockey  stick reaction, with a "fluffer" release. Lite bulb core, I believe.

In terms of your arsenal, I believe it fits exactly where you list it above, behind the Freeze. I think the Freeze has a similar core shape as well, but a much stronger cover to it. Good luck with yours.

P.S. Very durable SuperFlex cover, is dependable and reliable. Speed control is the key.

Depending on layout, your GM will possibly fit above the Freeze.  It is a sneaky hooky ball even on many of today's conditions.  I wish I still had mine.  I had my most success with it using a white scotch brite pad which is about 1000 depending on how old it is.  It put a "polished" look on it and rolled tremendously well.  Whatever you do, do not even put any ball, except plastic, in a Luster King.  They use a wax based polish which will clog the pours of any ball and straighten out the hook in a hurry.  The white specs you are seeing is the wax based polish.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!
