On lanes where i would typically have trouble(synthetics with TONS of back end), the WCP gave me a VERY controlled break point, as well as a ton of drive to the hole.
To try to give u an idea of how smooth this ball is. My Doom, drilled mildly, normally has somewhat soft back end, as im not a big fan of huge skid/snap. To get a decent reaction, i had to play about 22-25 to 10 to get the ball to finish the way i wanted to. My total inferno, sanded with a burgundy SB pad was a little softer on the back end, & i could play about 17 to 8 with some success. After my WCP was punched up(drilled it 5x4, galen suggested 4.5/4, i wanted a LITTLE less hook than that, so i modified it), i bowled on the same lanes, & alternated balls. The doom & TI played the same as above, nothign had changed. I was able to play 15 to 10 with no trouble.
This ball came ALIVE when i moved in a bit & put some revs on it. I played 17 to 10, the WCP gave me about 4-5 boards of area at my break point, the other 2 had maybe 2 or 3 max. The WCP also carried shots the TI & doom didnt(light mixers, messengers on the 10 pin, even kicked out a big 4 on a poorly thrown shot). All in all, i REALLY like the smoothness & control the WCP gave me.
Although this has only been maybe 1 full game of shots, so far i REALLY like the WCP, & am considering another L/LM already, either to replace something i currently have, or fill another small gap i have in a true medium oil ball.
From my initial impression, L/LM is a company that i will be doing a lot of business with.

Cool, Shawn ... good input there; BTW, I think that a Black Pearl and a BUZZ would be good additions to your new "L/LM" arsenal. Keep "us" posted ...

How is the transition going from the Black Pearl, a high flare ball to the Buzz, a low flare ball, during a series if find it necessary to make that change. When I start out with a ball I really like to stay with it. Sometimes I know that I need something less that the Black Pearl.

An adjustment neees to be made, definitely ... since the cores and covers are so different; normally, once I get a "read" on one ball, I know what the others will do and what alignment change(s) that I need to make when I change.
