I am giving Lanemasters a try (after using Lane1 all these years). I have the Terminator, NS2, Conquerer, Black Pearl(just got it) and Sure Strike (just drilled, not yet tested). I love the balls I have tested with as follows:
Terminator - Great ball on medium-heavy. This ball hooks. In a house where I usually swing from 12 to 7, I have to swing from 20-7 and this ball is power and control combined.
NS2 - Used in the same condition (medium heavy). Not as big hooker as the Terminator but very controllable and deceptively powerful.
Conquerer - this is the only 14 lb. Lanemaster ball that I have which I purchased from CG-Proshop-Carl. I wanted a 15 lb. and bowlingballmall.com is the only one that has it in their website but their site still has old balls and so I am not sure if their inventory is current. I tried to find a phone number but can't. Anyway, this is a good ball for a 14 lb. and has good carry except that I overshoot the breakpoint sometimes (due to the lighter weight) so I am still interested in a 15 lb. NIB.
I bowl tournaments and I want to complete my L/LM arsenal. And I am missing a solid reactive. I can't decide between a WCR and an XS Power. I hope to hear from guys who have both or have seen both in action. Thanks, guys.
