I will be bringing it out this week for use at my easy house, it lets you boom the ball if needed for me the backend is huge with a 4 1/2 pin to pap and no weight hole pin down drilling.

My Black Pearl is drill 4.25 x 3.25 from PAP, pin about one inch below the ring finger. PAP is @ 5.25 over and .5 up. I find the ball makes a strong arcing move starting about midlane on the standard house shot towards the pocket (right handed) and doesn't quit. Generally stand 20 throwing out to 9/8, speed dominant (thus the low pin position). I really like this ball's reaction for THS.

I was practicing this morning, and a bowler in my Monday league gave me a 14lb Black Pearl for free. I throw 15# equipment, but I couldn't pass up a free ball. I've wanted to try a Legends/Lane Master, and now I have my opportunity. The ball has approx. a 2" pin, and I don't know the top weight. I intend to use this ball on a medium volume THS. I typically play the track area. My PAP is 4-1/2" x 3/8". Ball speed is 16.5 MPH and 325 rpm. I am thinking of a 4 or 4-1/4" pin-PAP, pin up, with the CG out 45 degrees. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

May I suggest two things:
1. Since we don't know how different the RG and Diff is for 14 lb vs 15 lb vs 16 lb Black Pearls, You estimation is as good a starting point as any given that it's a 14 lb and that it's a Black Pearl.
and,
2. If you're really worried, (and I don't usually recommend this), call the Lanemasters experts, give them the details and get their recommendation.
PS I usually don't recommend call the Lanemasters people only because, for the 99% case, a ball park estimate will suffice for drillings. You do not need precise measurements (although we all feel better when we get them; it makes us think we're being exact.). Small differences do not make significant ball reaction differences, in the 99% case.
