Title: Massacre Opnions?
Post by: Doug Sterner on May 05, 2009, 11:59:03 AM
Well guys her eis something you have never seen....me on here asking for opinions of a Lane 1 ball. I never got one of these....

So whaddaya think?

Is this the Lane 1 replacement to my Playmaker that I have fallen in love with?

How close is it to the Evolution or Agent Orange?

How about the Emerald Pearl C2?

I too have a Playmaker that I love but am starting to not love as much as I once did as it seems to have lost it's great pop and pin smashing action on the back end. Ditto for my Gamebreaker. I'm going to try to de-oil both and sand back to how they came NIB and if no improvement, I am going to dump them.
So I am possibly looking at the Massacare and Dynamo if I fail to revive the Playmaker and Gamebreaker.

To sum it up, Jim would you mind messaging me also same as you did Doug.

Jim...my Playmaker has died a little as well and it's only been about 2 months. I am attributing it to surface wear. I am going to put it on the Haus for a quick spin and see what happens. I would hate to think that Lane 1 has spoiled me with their longevity all of these years when the rest of the world is buying new balls every 3 months!!!!!

Doug, let me know how you come out with your Playmaker. Having just moved and still trying to get settled in, I haven't had time to do anything to my balls. Barely had time to bowl as scheduled twice a week.

Not oil sensitive like the evo...
AO has good midlane move, The CM seems like it starts reading in the mids, not as much as the AO, However, the CM has more backend pop + continuation than the AO for me....
Haven't thrown my Emerald enough to make comparison...  the CM is more like the Silver diamond
