i have all except NS2 which is on the way.. you can really make an arsenal with just the three... AP2 is a hook monster if you drill it right.. great recovery off the dry and tremendous power.. kong is great after the ap2 hooks too much.. and for a particle im really surprised how far the kong goes down the lane but also how much it pops in the backend... masterpiece is the perfect medium oil ball.. you can adjust it with your release and it will either hook as much as the kong or be a true dry lane ball...

I already have an old LT-48 Gold that I cannot part with yet, so I'm building my arsenal around it. As you know, this ball is exceptional when it comes to medium to med. light lane conditions, so this is what I'd get from Lane Masters:

-AP2: would definitely be for soup conditions, but there would no reason to get this right now anyway.

-Kong or NS2: to handle med. to med. hev. oil (But I plan to get the Kong, because it's a beast on the lanes, no pun intended, and it's the coolest damn looking ball they have! :cool

-Straight Flush: for med. light to drier conditons

From there, all I need is a spare ball and I'm good to go!

When you've moved up, moved back, adjusted left and right, cupped, flattened out, have thrown everyting in your arsenal, and the pins still don't cooperate, just say, "Aw to HELL with it!", and throw the ball!

Shoutout33--I don't know a heck of a lot about LM/Legends stuff but from what I read and depending on the kind of condition and your technique I see a gap between the Kong and the Straight Flush.  Looks like you might need a Satisfaxtion or Absolute Power in between.  Ask some of the other more knowledgeable LM/Legends guys.

BTW--When did they say this Straight Flush was going to be released?

On edit....oops my bad I would suppose you'll put the LT-48 Gold in between....sheesh I need another cup of coffee.  Never mind!

I bought the Masterpiece and Kong and I am very happy with both.  The Kong is a strong ball but one that I can control.  When the lanes are drier I use the Masterpiece.  Both balls get great pin action.  These two balls may be the best I have ever owned.

If you  have not tried a Legneds / Lane Master ball, i really suggest you should.  Nothing, and I mean NOTHING but good things
