more cover than most on the market and will outlast many others. As a stroker mine is usable on medhvy to medlite with no squirt or over/under problems. For strength on a 1-10 scale I would put it at a 9. The cores on Lanemaster balls are mostly all high Rg with lower symmetric cores so control is paramount with their specs. If you're looking for gutter to gutter, that's not what they would made for. I think they're a terrific value for long term use.
