Struck the Lane Masters motherlode
« on: August 25, 2013, 12:29:14 PM »
Some of you know from time to time I've snagged some killer deals on Craiglist, but today I hit the Lane Masters jackpot.

I got 10 balls (a Buzz, Masterpiece, Terminator, Terminator Rebellion, Extreme Impact, World Class, and 4 Stings) and 3 roller bags for.....

$25!

Some are single drills and some doubles.
I was thinking about Pat Patterson when the guy opened his garage door :D

Stopped by the lanes to try a few of these out. Granted these are not drilled for my hand... The span is close but the thumb holes and finger inserts are too big.

So I punch in my name and step up to the approach and here's how it goes:

Extreme Impact = strike
World Class Particle Pearl = strike
Masterpiece = strike
Terminator Rebellion = strike
The Buzz = split, moved two boards left and strike

Wow!

The EI is pin in palm label, the WPP is pin under ring CG kicked out, the Masterpiece is pin next to ring stacked with a weight hole, the TR is Rico, and the Buzz is pin under ring CG kicked out with a weight hole. No idea what the surface is on any of them.

All balls had that smooth rolly arc to the pocket reminiscent of my beloved Brunswick stuff. I never tried LM when they were around but I am impressed!

Balls are cleaning up nicely. Almost everyone got a hot water bath and a trip on the spinner. Still need to resurface two Stings and the Terminator.

I need to play around with them a little more before I put them up for sale. I might unload all of them although the Masterpiece is calling my name. Lots of interest... Will keep you posted!
