I hope to hear back from Galen this week (he had a well-deserved week off last week) ... maybe I can find something out; I DO know that they have a release tentatively scheduled for this summer ... the previous thread about the "Insect series" sounds logical to me.

They are also working on some 3 piece cores to compete with pricing.  I have heard that a couple of 3 piece balls should be out by Bowl Expo, but it isn't definite yet.


3 piece as in pancake/wafer cores, or 3 piece as in core, core filler, and coverstock?

Next 2 balls are The First Strike and The Sting. Both are purported to be for light oil. Sudden change of direction for L/LM as they have produced a lot of strong equipment, but it is a good change and I am looking forward to these 3 pieces.

John,

Their relatively new Hornet is, to my eyes, a major success in light oil balls. I am still finding out how good it is, which is why I have not yet published a formal review.

While it is a hard hitting arcing ball, as are most of theirs, it is covering a wide range of light oil for me. Normally I use 2 - 3 light oil balls, up to medium oil. The Hornet so far, with the way it clears drying heads and still hooks in the backend, without becoming an uncontrollable monster is amazing.

While I use other brands between the Hornet and medium to medium-heavy oil, the Hornet, so far,allows me to caryy less balls and worry less about filling in gaps.

If Lanemasters is making more light oil balls, I wonder where they think they'll fit???

I was considering buying a Hornet, but I will now wait for the new release(s).
