I've read alot of reports regarding how good the LaneMaster balls are, but now I get it. Recently traded my Lane 1 Cherry Bomb (great ball, last of my old 16# stuff) for a Big R Bang. I'd been looking for a good light/ med oil ball to complement my Virtual Gravity and Twisted Fury. This ball is one of the best balls I've ever thrown, and not just for lighter patterns. This ball is a beast for a down and in shot on heavier oil. Perfect ball for late set carrydown as well. I've yet to see another guy throwing this ball in my leagues. Too bad for them.
