Title: Lane Masters and Sport conditions
Post by: Shoutout33 on April 14, 2009, 07:53:34 AM: Hey people. I have the chance to get the Big Bang Particle, for a really really good price, but I need a question asked before I make the final decision. I am starting a PBA Experience League this summer and I needed a ball that can handle some of the heavier ball conditions. My concern is, that I have heard that Lane Master's balls don't do well on sport type conditions. Is this true or not. I haven't thrown their equipment let alone on these type of conditions. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you''ve moved up, moved back, adjusted left and right, cupped, flattened out, have thrown everyting in your arsenal, and the pins still don''t cooperate, just say, "Aw to HELL with it!", and throw the ball!

I'm just looking to see if what I've heard about their stuff is false or not. Not many people throw their stuff here in the DC area, so some feedback would be greatly appreciated.

One might argue that a controlled, even reaction is a virtue on tough shots, but there are just as many shots that score with an angular, skid-snap ball.

Which Lanemasters ball is suitable for which shot, is, of course, a legitimate question. Will the Big Bang particle work on all of the PBA shots? Probably not, and most assuredly not without some surface adjustment for each pattern.

Given the overall quality and versatility of most Legends and Lanemasters pieces, I don't think you could go wrong by picking up a Big Bang, especially for a good price. And if I'm wrong, well, just send it to me and I'll make sure it's properly disposed of.
