I decided to give Lord Field a try and purchased the Exodus Iron, Exodus Solid Reactive, and Pin Hacker. I am not a Lord Field Staffer.
After rolling the Pin Hacker for about a month...different coverstock prep, different lane conditions...the ball just did not match up well for me and I sold it.
The Exodus Iron has a versatile coverstock with good length for a particle ball and a nice smooth arcing backend. I have rolled the Exodus Iron on a variety of conditions and it works well on medium to heavy oil with excellent carry (many messengers). On medium light the Exodus Iron tends to lose too much energy in the heads and I start to leave corner pins. Overall a great ball for the first game and a half, but you need to know when to put it back in the bag.
The Exodus Solid Reactive is an incredible ball...dulled it plays well on medium to medium heavy and polished it plays well on medium to medium-light. This ball can hook the lane if you want it to and has excellent control and carry. I recently used this ball at a house where I typically struggle and rolled 237, 244, 245.
The Exodus Iron and Exodus Solid Reactive will definatley be in my bag as I bowl in more tournaments.
UPDATE: Used a highly polished Exodus Iron (pin up) and rolled a 204, 276, 237. Struggled with my thumb hole the first game, and then was able to get a clean release in the second and third games. The Exodus series balls have a sweet roll and carry well.
