15 lbs, 3 oz TW,
 cg 3.5” off the PAP, 2” pin "stacked" above,
 13/16" WH located 2" past the PAP and on the midline
 (gives me around 1/2 oz pos side weight).

 Right-hander, standing 16, "squared up" and rolling up first arrow; my hand position was fully under the ball so as to position myself for a straight "up the back", forward roll release.

WOW !!!!!!!!!!!

Roomies,
 I rolled the new Lane Masters three-piece reactive resin Straight Flush (designed for drier lane condition - high RG and low Diff) for the first time this evening after second shift of night leagues on THS (synthetic lanes and they were "fried"); I rolled 3 practice balls to check the thumb fit and release "feel" (all strikes) then a five bagger, 8 spare (4-7), double, baby split spare (3-10), double and ringing 10 pin for a 247 !!! The cover of this ball allowed the ball to glide through the heads and the midlane and the core gave me more than enough back end "pop" to carry and shred the rack.
 On the 3 "non-strikes", it was because I didn't stay behind the ball and come up the back of the ball or I tugged it a little too much.
 I consider this a verey good ball and does EXACTLY what it was designed to do !!!
GREAT job, Legends/Lane Masters !!!

Hey Robb,

Don't you know by now.. No one here cares about that Legends/Lanemasters junk your throwing!! LOL// JUST KIDDING!! If it had a Hammer logo on it, user g_thing would have already chimed in.. LOL..

All kidding aside, I am glad the ball is working for you and I wish you continued success..

Robb,

I replied in email, but I think it's the pearlized cover PLUS the high RG core PLUS the extremely low RG differential (potential flare) that allows this ball to get better than average length.The Desert Heat was not a great length ball, in its basic design, but it had very low RG differential and great hit.

Don't forget Galen had you add a bit of power to this ball with the CG placement and the weight hole. That's an old fashioned trick drillers used when we had only pancake core balls: put the pin close to leverage distance from the PAP and put a weight hole on or past the PAP. It gave those "plain" a large jolt of hooking power.  I suspect it will give the SF a lot less added power.

I think I'll just put as much finger and side weight in mine, (still putting the pin up as high as I can, just for the "halibut"), as I can. Can alway sre-drill it.

By the way, excellent sooting with the now "toy".
 
How do these lanes start out? I mean howmuch oil do they start with and where does the dry begin?

Thanks. Keep up the good work.
