Lane Masters was bought up by another company and is now producing balls again. Since you posted in this forum, just go look into the previous posts for the past 2 - 4 months to see what's been happening.

This is their current web site: http://www.lane-masters.com/

I do not know if LM is again using diamond dust as the particles in their current lineup but they are making particle balls.

The "Red Diamond" is a particle pearl.
I suspect there is no ball called the "Diamond Particle Pearl",  for reasons sited above, but anything is possible.

Additionally, there was a Black Diamond (particle ball but not a pearl) and a Black Pearl (particle pearl, but no "diamond" in the name).

Yup, a whole bunch of the original Legends by LaneMasters balls had them (Yeah Baby!, Big Kahuna, Black Diamond, Black Pearl, etc.), but I believe he's looking for a brand new ball by that SPECIFIC name. I have not heard of it from the NEW Lane Masters company.

That's the original New Standard, the ball that put Lane Masters "on the map". It came out in 2006. It used diamond dust as the particles in the coverstock. "Diamond Particle" was the coverstock name, not the ball name. No wonder you had us all going around in circles.  It was a solid/pearl combo, not a pearl.

The Yeah Baby had the Diamond Particle high load and I loved that ball, had two of them. Legends/Lane Masters had to make a change with the diamond particles because of the hardness and keeping USBC happy. Just my $.02, Bruce

The Yeah Baby and New Standard 2 need medium to heavy oil on the lanes unless you have high ball speed.  The New Standard and Big Kahuna are better suited for medium oil. The Diamond particle coverstock is one of the most durable I have used...rolled hundreds of games with mine and still have the same good ball reaction with very little wear on the coverstock.

Last and final question...

I have only thrown this ball maybe twice....

It seems to respond like the Cuda C with it reaction but just alittle more agressive...
Not good on ball specs but the drilling look about the same and the reactions seem to be about the same...  Read the information on the ball and it said the ball would skid down the lane on oil and then once it hits the dry it will spin up...  That is about the same as the Cuda C...

Really thanks for all the help...
Maybe I just need to get on the lanes and test but Oil is hard the find these days in my area..
Probably will use it tonight - Hard rumors about fluilding the lanes for once this season..

Zanatos,

There's 10 years difference in design and the Cuda is plain resin while the New Standard is particle. Words used to describe each do not show the difference between them. No way on heaven and earth do they react the same. Due to house oil patterns & lane surfaces, drillings, bowler's release and delivery, amount of use and many other factors, they may appear similar under certain circumstances. I have had a Cuda and A Super Cuda and still have my New Standard. At a bare minimum, the NS handles a whole lot more oil than a Cuda could.

Jbungard.s "Still Relevant After All These Years" review on the NS is on the mark. I still use my New Standard first out of bag. I find as a Stroker ball works best with surface 800 grit gray pad no polish. A good medium to medium heavy oil ball.

Just curious about a change with diamond particles and the hardness. I thought as long as the hardness was greater than 72 it would be accepted. NS and YB is 72-74. Why would USBC prohibit L/M from using DPs in their coverstock?

I was kind of hoping the NEW L/M would bring back a ball with a  DIAMOND PARTICLE cover.
