What's the ball motion supposed to be like Robb?
Stats. are much the same as The Buzz except for the Coverstock: Evolution Pearl HD. What core is going to be used? Used in another LM/L ball or new?
What are you hearing the differences are? Hopefully not skid/flip. I was looking for a Satisfaxion type arc roll. Whadda ya think???

Scott,
It's supposed to fill the gap below the BUZZ and above the Straight Flush, so I'd venture to say NOT skid/flip.

Now, this release looks very interesting! Most of the Lanemasters/Legends releases seem to be fairly to very aggressive but this one sounds like this one might be an "answer" ball for light to dryer conditions. (not meant as a criticism, the fairly to very aggressive remark)
Roto Grip is coming out with the Planet Neptune which just might have similar qualities?
This release has my interest.

I think you are forgetting the Straight Flush, it's not THAT old. The ball does look pretty nice though.
I may just have to enter a couple more of ASB-Joe's raffles so I can try to win either the Straight Flush or Hornet. I need a good ball to fit under my Tropical Storm.

I think the ball looks pretty dam cool.
I do find it funny that they say made for the driest conditions. I don't know of any reactive cover that's great for really dry lanes. Urethane is the best cover for really dry lanes.

Chi,
It's NOT for dry lanes ... that's the job of their Straight Flush; this ball is intended to fill the gap above the SF and below the BUZZ/WC reactive.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. Based on the description I thought it was there dry lane ball. The decription says made for the driest conditions.

Just wondering, the site of complete bowling shows an upcoming Red Hornet ball to be released. What is the difference between the green one shown on the legends site and this red one that I have not heard of. Thanks

I'm pretty much set to drill mine the same as my BUZZ too ... it just depends upon the best way to separate it equally below the BUZZ and above my Straight Flush (you can bet that Galen will be involved).
