I have two. Revolt, and venom shock. Both are just that good...in a unique, "this ball is special" kind of way.

lilpossum1, the Critical will be earlier with more continuation. The Primal Rage will be long and strong unless you change the surface to around 2000.

I wish I would have bought a case of the Legends Yeah Baby! It just seemed to work on everything, except floods and the carry was awesome!

Clean N Dull.

I still have a couple quarts of the old Degree "Clean N Dull". Bought them when Columbia was sold to Ebonite.

Yea, that old Lane Masters stuff from the mid 2000's was some of the best ever made. Personally, I would want a case of original Black Pearls.

I ran across Galen Gentry this past weekend during a tournament and we had an interesting conversation about how some of those balls were made.

Still have all my LM equipment from the mid 2000's, with the exception of XSPower and Sure Strike, which split on me over the winter.  Still love that 2 piece construction.
The Gathering 2014 is near.  July 25-27 in Winston Salem, NC @ Creekside lanes.

The Sure Strike was a decent ball. Never was a fan of the XS Power. The only LM ball I ever had spit was a Dynamic Power. It was an ugly beast but it would out hook most anything. I have one NIB, but would never have enough oil for it to be of use to me these days.

The Storm Shift... That is/was my favorite ball, followed closely by the Attitude Shift.

That's easy - Switch Grip outers.
Just picked up a few Hell Raiser Terrors for the shop a couple weeks back and am kicking myself for only hoarding 1 Versa

I had an opportunity to buy up Visionary's remaining Granite Gargoyles (returns from Europe) a few years back at $75 a pop.

Didn't do it and have regretted it for a while now.

If I could go back, I'd have bought a case of Ebonite Playmakers. That was the best pearl ball I've ever owned.

The Dynamic Power was a monster hook ball, but did split! I also drilled one for a senior lady with no rotation and she hooked that ball a bunch.
