Title: World Class Reactive or XS Power
Post by: Rockbowler on December 07, 2007, 03:54:23 AM
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.

The XSP revs early and arch's the whole lane.

The WCR gets 40 ft before it starts it's move.

well, the world class reactive is a pearl reactive... so it should make your choice very easy if you were looking for a solid reactive ball...

Thanks for the input but I the info in bowlingballmall.com says that the WCR is a solid reactive. Can anybody who owns the ball confirm this? mrbowlingnut?

The World Class Reactive is a highly polished solid resin ball, as is the Big-R-Bang.
