    The best part about this ball is who makes it and what they make it with. I have been bowling with this ball over two years and it still rolls the way it did the day I bought it. I have thrown two three hundreds with the ball and two 299's. Three Eight Hundreds, This is the first ball out of my bag. I went from a 212 average to a 232 average, just by using this ball (the conditions obviously fit this ball). No surprises, just smooth even roll with a big, hard BANG at the end. I would recommend this ball to anyone. Great Job Fred Borden and Lane Masters!

    The best part of this ball is that you always no what it is going to do. You can miss right and it comes back. You can tug and it will hold. No surprises. I have shot three honor scores with this ball. If you like to play down and in or want to open the lane by three or four boards, this ball is a monster. My buddy won the Bowlers Journal Tournament in Reno while we were there bowling in the Nationals. I heard Joey Cerar from the BJI picked the ball for the best ball made last year...Bottom line; if this ball fits the lane conditions you are going to be hard to beat.

    [url] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm-EzO-dELs[/url] The layout - I laid this ball out like all my other equipment to see how it compared to the other Lane Master and Legends equipment. I put the pin 4 inches from my Positive Axis Point (PAP) and the CG 3 1/2 inches from my PAP. The ball required a small weight hole, which I placed on my vertical axis line. Oil Pattern - I tested this ball on our Freshly Oil House Shot. We have a heavier oil volume than most house patterns. Review - I threw this on a variety of shots the months I have had it. I actually forgot that I didn't write a review on this ball. This is the longest and strongest ball that I have thrown in the Lane Masters line-up since the original Absolute Power. This ball is clean through the head in everything but burnt heads. The Buzz has strong backend movement and good punch at the pocket. Overall - If you like the Lane Masters stuff, but looking for something to get down the lane and give you

    Had mine drilled with the pin above the ring finger and the CG stacked below. This gave the ball length and backend continuation. This is one of my favorite balls. One of the hardest things for me is when the head oil goes away and I have trouble getting the ball down the lane. The high RG core allows me to pull this ball out in those conditions, and it's strong cover cuts through carry down. I have been gradually taken a liking to high RG balls with strong covers. This is a medium strength ball. It fit perfectly inbetween my Black Widow and Desert Heat. I love how it gets downt he lane, even when the lanes are dry. It saves energy for a big snap on the backend. Other balls that are designed not to hook, they don't finish either. This ball goes long and finishes and that's the Buzz.

    we drilled the ball label leverage and with just the few games i have thrown with it the ball is quickly becomeing one of my favorite balls. the ball is a must for medium oil lane conditions. the ball is the only ball to have on a broken down shot. the lanes were oiled friday and didnt get oiled before i bowled on them 2 days later and the ball still would hold a good line. i know im never going to bowl on a shot like that for league or tournament but now i know if do i have a ball to throw.<sc

    Lane Masters sent me this ball to try in May, 06. Thanks Robbie. Thought it was time to review. One of the best balls I have ever thrown. Ball refuses to quit! Took it to Nationals and shot 1841 playing everywhere from first arrow to fourth arrow. Probably have over 150 games on ball now, still reacts like out of the box. Shot 300, 815 last week in league. Smooth through the heads with nice arc to the pocket. Ball is very versatile and can be played a variety of angles. If you haven't tried a Legends or LaneMasters ball highly recommend you try one.

    This is an amazing ball it has a great finish on it and it saves its energy so well so when it hits the pocket it hits like a truck. it has a great smooth reaction also that i love about this ball. I have two of them already after i got the 1st one i loved it so much i just had to get another one. The ball is a big hit over here in Ireland and many bowlers are playing amazing with it. I have nearly all of the lane master and legends bowling balls excepet the NS2. By far the buzz is the one that has impressed me the most. I think there is some great bowling balls out there by lane masters and legends they are making some amazing bowling equipment.

    I purchased my Buzz from Buddies Pro Shop, again excellent service- the ball was shipped directly from the factory with the exact weight, pin placement, & top weight- Thanks Buddies! ( 16lbs with a 3-4 pin, and 3.5 top) My Buzz was drilled with pin below ring and the cg swung out toward my PAP at 60 degrees. I have had much success using a Action Packed with the same drilling but my Buzz can run rings around that ball. The Buzz has excellent length with a smooth continuous hook through the pocket. Excellent carry on medium to dry lanes, but you can use it on moderately heavy oil. On a fried lane condition, the Buzz moved right through the spotty heads, with a huge continuous hook once it hits the dry. The Buzz really excels on medium lane conditions; a hard skid/snap reaction out of the oil with a pin crushing hook through the pins. Heavy oil is the real nemesis of this ball, but it is not made for that lane conditions; you could use the Absolute Power 2 for the oily lane

    I laid The Buzz out 5 1/2" x 3 3/8" Pin x CG to PAP, pin 3" above midline of my grip. I had similar layouts in previous balls and in the past its just rolled pretty well for me, so I figured I'd put it in The Buzz. The Buzz is my favorite Lane Masters/Legends ball to date. It embodies great length with a strong, sharp breakpoint. On heavily oiled lanes, I was able to stay in the track area and blow racks. On drier or shorter patterns, the Buzz was clean and predictable down the lane. I'm a big fan of skid/flip balls, and this is one of the best. Also, thanks to the staff at Lane Masters/Legends for getting some of these out to us to test.
