I've never tried a LaneMaster / Legends, which ball would you say is the must-have signature ball?
For example, if you asked Roto-Grip fans they'd say Cell, Lane 1/Buzzbomb, Brunswick/inferno etc...
I'm not looking to fill any gap, I just want to try one.
Thank you.

While I love the older Legends particle balls and have found the NS and the YB to be extremely versatile, they are getting harder and harder to find. In the meantime, given the strength of their "plain" reactive resin balls, I have found the Buzz to be extremely responsive to drillings and surface changes, depsite its low RG differential and it pearl coverstock. It acts more like medium to high RG differential ball and its pearl cover is as easy and responsive to surface changes as ANY other solid resin coverstock.

The bottom line is I simply did not match up well to this ball line, same as others don't match up to other companies ball lines at times, but from what I have seen, L/LM has an excellent product and it works great for some people.

In my oh so humble (but always correct) opinion -- I think that the Black Pearl can be the most versatile of the current LM line. All of them can take to surface adjustments really well -- but I've seen the BP in fresh soup as well as 3rd shift beatdown lanes, and if you just touch it up a little, it'll rock every time.
I can't say right now about a Yeah Baby, because I just bought one from Just Joe, and haven't drilled it up yet. But if it makes as big of an impression as the voting suggests -- and if you can find one (another challenge), then I'm sure you'll be involking the name every time you roll it.

The only World Class pearl is the particle pearl. The Gold/Burl colored one is a polished solid.

Heavy oil - New Standard 2
Medium-heavy - Terminator
Medium oil - Big Kahuna
Meduim-light - Satisfaxion
I haven't tried a L/LM ball for lighter oil, but I hear the Hornet is pretty solid.
All in all, I'd have to say my favorite was the New Standard 2, though I still have a NIB Yeah Baby and Sure Strike to drill up.
