AMF Nighthawk M2 (original, not the Nighthawk Pearl remake)
Lane #1 Tsunami H2O

I bought both as replacements for my favorites for when the originals wore out, but haven't really needed to.  The Nighthawk is strong as ever after an embarrassing number of games thrown.  The Tsunami is really smooth and I thought it would be great on sport conditions, but it's not.  The drilled one has an odd (very weak) drilling.  I've always thought of the drilling the other with a more stand pattern to see what it could do.

I have been holding these gene back for quite sometime.now. Went through a bad funk with my release, roll, and hand fit. To the point of where I was considering going left hand to get away from it.

my collection, all 15's

Lane Masters Terminator - the original
Lane Masters Big Bang
Legends World Class Particle Pearl
Lane Masters Terminator Rebellion
Lane Masters Buzz - had to have a backup

even though it was two year ago since picking up the terminator and big bang. Those were very hard to find. I feel lucky to have stumbled across them.

I have not drilled my Spare Tire, but I do have a drilled Amulet that I use for my spare ball.  It has the old Warlock core and is clear so you can see the core and how it sits in the ball.
