Is there any thing out there that is like this ball? I had one and really liked it alot and i could see my self using one of these again it was just great shinny or dull either very rolly and smooth or long and hard turn either way very controlable.

The Double Agent MIGHT come close... that would greatly depend on the particle load though, and partially depend on the core shape/numbers...

Double Agent has a similar roll, but is a much stronger ball overall than the Core Power LRG. if you really liked the Core Power LRG I'd take a look at the Roto Grip RSP.

The trouble with matching older balls to newer ones is the fact that the technology is so much different. To be honest, nothing is even close to the LRG except for another LRG. I know that you can find them on Ebay, if thats what you really want.
If you are looking for a similar motion but more of it, go with the Agent. Lower RG core ( similar to the LRG ) but with a pearl Reactor coverstock, compared to the Cadmium coverstock ( which was actually Accu-Tread based with a very small particle load ). I understand the reccomendations of the Double Agent, but the Double Agent will need some volume up front to make it look similar where the Agent is cleaner like the LRG was. Hope this helps

Jeff... I got a chance to roll one (Double Agent) this evening and will certainly agree with you on your assessment. Day and night difference for me, but some of that could have been the layout.

Well thanks for all of the comments. Jeff i have a agent and i love it. The thing that i really liked about the lrg was how the cover was versital. So maybe that agent with a weak drilling could work or would that just be pointless for the ball then? I am also thinking of drilling up one of thoes dominations because i have ahd success with all of the paradigms so far.

Mike, its pointless to try and make a ball something that it isnt. To drill an Agent weak is like never taking a corvette out of the garage. There are way to many balls available to have to trick a ball to do what you want.
