Excellent Ball!! By Razors Edge from Tucson, AZ
Reviewed on: 11/16/2009 Unverified Pros:Not many ball marks, Durable surface, Flawless Surface, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend The best Lane Masters ball that I own. Strong snap on backend and hits hard. Surface does not get those ugly ball marks from the pin machine or ball returns. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Re Review By Jimmy from Chicago
Reviewed on: 6/14/2010 Unverified Pros:Comfortable Grip, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I wrote a review awhile back disliking this ball. I got it plugged and re-drilled for stacked leverage for "Low Track" bowler (which I am). Now this ball is reacting great for my style of play. Sorry for ever dissin this ball... Its cuttin nicely and a great backend. Rolls in with awesome hitting power!!! I will stay with this line in the future and make sure to have better placement on my drilling before complaining again!!!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Excellent Ball By Mark Metzger from Houston, Texas
Reviewed on: 2/1/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Best Uses:League, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Stock finish. When reactive equip goes over/under, it's time to use this ball. With the smooth arc this ball gives, is truly controllable. Just keep your hand behind the ball and rip-it, unbelievable carry.

from the best unknown company By JP from Canton, OH
Reviewed on: 1/31/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great carry Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley, Leagues Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend All I buy now are lane masters balls as they are the best on the market. They hit hard and carry great,but as with all balls the drilling can make it or brake it. Lane masters are known for all of this as well as there covers lasting longer than any other company on the market thats why they cost more. You get what you pay for. This ball has great back end and wont let you down,try a lane masters ball and you wont regret it I promise!!!!I am a very happy customer. Best drilling layout pin 4 inch - pap 40 x 45 and I am a high track roller. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

great medium oil ball By jake from ohio
Reviewed on: 1/12/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I have the pin under fingers and cg kicked out. I wanted an arc - snap and it is more like a late midlane read and nice snap last 7-10 feet. This ball isn't a heavy oil ball with out of box polish but who knows what it would do with some scuffing. I get a great look at the pocket from 13 out as pulled shots in heavy oil and good carry down sends this ball to long in it's factory condition.As is great medium ball awesome backend and of course carry power. second time out 266 with 11 strikes 237 and 269. Now I know why others who have used lane masters love them so much great ball!!!!! Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Sometimes numbers speak for themselves! By Scott from Coconut Creek, FL
Reviewed on: 11/28/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:Casual Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I bought this ball looking for something different. I've grown up using reactive resin balls, most recently a black widow. The problem was I was too inconsistent. On freshly oiled lanes everthing was fine. Anything other than that...I couldn't keep the ball on the lane. With the Black Diamond I can throw the same ball all three games without much of an adjustment. It doesn't hook quite as much as the Widow but I would say this ball is more forgiving. In fact, even when I miss my spot and come up light it still carries. First 4 games out of the box 214, 218, 247, 238. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.
