I don't post much, but am an avid reader of the forum.  I know you guys get multiple requests daily regarding assistance with ball selection.  Normally, you direct them to the Legends web site or to Galen's e-mail.  I have researched the web site and have sent e-mails to both info at Legends and directly to Galen with no response.  I value your guy's opinions, so I am sending out to the masses.  I've done quite a bit or research, internet/forum and word-of-mouth, and have become interested in purchasing a L/LM ball.  What would you consider to be the most versatile L/LM ball?  I bowl mostly leagues, THS, with the occasional ABT, State and City tournaments.  Looking for something usable on most conditions with the majority on synthetics.  I prefer the down and in line, feet at 23-26 to 10 at arrows.  Speed is medium, 14.5-16mph with medium rev rate. Thank you in advance for your insight.

YEA I WILL AGREE, MY BIG BANG IS A GREAT BALL FROM ANYWHERE TO MI-LIGHT TO MED-HEAVY, AND YOU COULD MAKE IT WORK ON THE HEAVY STUFF BUY LOWERING THE GRIT. i WILL HAVE TO SAY I HAVE HAD ALOT OF GREAT BALLS, THAT BEING THE BLACK WIDOW, HAWGZILLA, AND ROBO RULE AND I AM GOING TO COME OUT AND SAY I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE THIS BALL IN MY HANDS THEN THE OTHERS. I REALLY CAN'T TYPE OUT HOW MUCH I LIKE THIS BALL SO FAR. IT IS AWSOME. AND YOU CAN'T BEAT LANEMASTER/LEGENDS QUALITY. YOU DON'T GET BALLS THAT DIE IN MONTHS, THEY COULD LAST MANY YEARS WHEN CLEANED REGULARLY. ANYWAYS I NEED TO STOP RAMBLING.

I have the Big Bang too, and I have just had a hard time adjusting to it. OOB it is a hook monster. I polished it and played down and in real well. Tried 1000 abralon, not impressed there. Might try 2000 or back to OOB. Very adjustable ball. Just hasn't fully grown on me yet. But it is true with only minor adjustments, speed, hand etc. I can play almost anything with it, very good roll.

I agree with charlest. The WCR is a very versitale ball. i can play up the boards on an oily house with great recovery and the core in the ball is something that I hope lane masters uses more. The carry on this ball is amazing. I think since its the biggest core they've used thats the reason why. Another one i would look into would be the buzz. for some people this ball hooks more than expected (as with me also). but since its a pearl reactive it will still get down the lane when the lanes break down. but if this is your first lane masters ball i would go with a WCR.
