Drilled Label leverage for early turn, and playing the 3rd arrow out seems to work the best. It's long arc really is pretty. At times, I move more outside and use the 18 board, the ball has plenty of back end running through the oil almost all of the way. Maintenance on the ball is minimal. Just a nightly cleaning after use, and it is ready for the next round. It is a great compliment to the Terminator that I have, drilled stacked. Between the two, there hasn't been an oil pattern that they can't overcome. I,ve looked at some newer balls, especially with Nationals coming up, but I think I will stay with these.

This is my second Lanemasters. Frist time I threw it I shot 803 so was impressed. great ball for medium to heavy oil lanes The ball hooks good and hit hard when you are on target Though sometimes leave too many 8,9,10 pins If you have have a faster speed and higher revs you can use this ball on any type of oil shot This ball will go high however when the lanes dry. This is typical for modern balls now adays since they are usually made for medium to heavy lane conditions I cant say anything too negative about this ball and I would fully recommend it.

Excellent ball, I look forward to more limited releases from Legends. Overall reaction, very smooth with hitting power. I haven't found a shot where this ball wouldn't score. Drilled pin above ring finger, cg kicked out, extra hole was required. I'm a power tweener, and this ball completely matches my game. The reaction reminds me of the Contact Zone and HPD. This is my second Conquorer, after dropping to 14lbs. to relieve pressure on my wrist. If you can get a hold of one of these, it is an amazing ball. It is rare to have one ball that is so dependable and predictable.

Got this ball drilled by Mike Miller at 10 Pins and More in Rio Rancho, NM on November 1, 2007. Ball came with a 2 7/8" pin which was placed below the ring finger with a weight hole. The ball on my typical house shot(38' buffed out to 45' using CONTROL oil with OB outside about the 7-8 board) reacted very similarly as my NS2 does on the same condition. I knew it would react a lot differently than my 1st Conquerer based on pin position. Thsi one easily handles alot more oil to the point that I can even get it back from the OB area mentioned above. Overall another great ball from Legends/Lane Masters.

Got it Saturday. I just bowled and bowled for about 2 hours. The ball was a pleasure to roll. Very controllable and very forgivng. Over 12 to 5 and watch it come back. If I missed at 14 straight, it rode the oil and held the line. Moved inside 15 to 8 and it didn't flatten out. Came in strong. Bowled again on Sunday, and again on Monday (today). It has been a pleasure each day. I think I am in love with it. Just can't make my Terminator jealous. So I bowled a game with that too. The Terminator is drilled Stacked Leverage, so they are different. They don't compete with each other, just for different conditions.

I drilled the ball for a very agressive reaction and it should be thrown using 20-35 as the reference in the lanes. It's a good ball for your collection in the last year i have bought 15 balls of several companies, i recommend storm, ebonite, lane masters and elite. I also had a lane masters terminator, it was also agressive, but with a very short pin and top weight so I sold it and bought a Conquerer. I was the first person in Mexico to buy the Conquerer and everyone liked my ball. Hope it works for everyone who has one of this balls. Gabriel del Cueto

# 422 0f 500, 15lbs 1oz,3oz top,3 7/8 pin. L/Lm stacked drill with balance hole. Tried it on three different lanes amf synthetic house shot, brunswick synthetic with viper PBA pattern,brunswick synthetic house shot And with this ball and minimal adjustments i was able to throw a very controllable arcing shot to the pocket. When it gets there it hits hard. a little high no problem,carry.a little low still carries. Did get a few taps with the flushist of shots but my overall impression of my first L/LM ball is outstanding and am now looking into the Black Pearl to add to my arsenal. So L/LM keep up the good work and fine quality of your balls. i am a convert.

This ball is amazing. From the very first shot I knew I had something very special. The roll this ball goes into is so strong I feel sorry for the pins. I have one two local tournaments and averaged 228 at the Nationals (should have averaged more, but my back was hurting). As it stands right now, this is the first ball out of my bag. Why, because when it is right for the condition, I can beat anyone (I know, do not say it). Goes fairly long, mid lane roll is very strong and it finishes the shot by having so much energy at the pocket I am actually embarrassed by the way the pins just go everywhere! Like a bomb went off at the pocket.

I really feel that this ball can be used on a variety of lane conditions and all angles of the lane just as well. Again this ball hits hard enough for anyone not to complain of a lack of hitting power. This is a very responsive ball so make sure you are consitent off your hand and have a blast. Getting the ball to the dry ,or any dry to early immediate zoom. If you keep this ball on line and post the shot its spectacular. The ball has a tendancy to roll out just a little bit when the lanes start drying out. I think this ball is ideal for pba and sport patterns 35 to 44 feet. This ball responds well whether I am going up the back or getting around it the ball just keeps driving.

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. Oil Pattern - I tested this ball on our Freshly Oil House Shot. We have a heavier oil volume than most house patterns. Review - The first threw this ball out of the box. The ball comes from the factory with a polished finish, using Lane Masters Factory Finish Polish. Out of the box I felt this was the strongest overall Lane Masters and Legends ball that I have thrown to date. This ball is cleaner through the front part of the lane, but still has enough bit to pick up in the middle of the lane and give you backend punch at the pocket. While doing the video taping I was able to move into 4th arrow and swing the ball out to around 5-7 and get the ball back. After throwing 2 games in the box finish, I sanded the ball with 2000 grit abralon to take the

The pin above the fingers and center with the cg just on the positive side, 4"pin. I'm Medium track and between 16-17mph with med. revs. Now this ball behaves like the lane diagram shows on the LM web site. Very strong arch. Not too early, but great midlane read with strong controllable backend continuation. What amazed me the most was how much power was left for the finish. Great on med-heavy oil. To sum it up: Extremely hard hitting, very controllable, and can handle a variety of shots. More and more I'm starting to lean towards the new particle balls. I recently tried this on wooden lanes with a lighter house shot just to see how it behaves. Not reccomended. It needs more oil or it will burn up fast on the midlane. Still finishes good just not as hard as it can. Lane Masters have been 3/3 for me when it comes to their balls doing exactly what they are supposed to do. It's wild how it's finished and yet performs great on heavy oil.

Had this ball drilled up by Mike Miller at 10 Pins and More in Rio Rancho, NM on June 28, 2007. The ball came 15lbs 3 oz, 3.0" Pin and 3 oz of TW. The ball is laid out with the pin above and right of the ring finger with a weight hole. The ball so far is the most aggressive ball I own(see profile) to date in my arsenal. The ball hits like it's 16lb. according to some by-standers watching me practive with it. All I can say is this ball obliterates the pins, sending messengers from all over the place. You would think that a ball polished as much as this one could cover so many boards. By the way, I have #317 of 500. Excellent job Legends/Lanemasters!

Excellent ball well worth the money. I purchased the ball to be used on heavy oil conditions, It meets that requirement very well. I get about 5 + boards more hook than i do with my World Class Particle. It does need oil, If it is dry then don't bother with it. This is my third LM ball I have been very impressed with their quality and with the consistenty of their balls. i have run out of words,i have run out of words,i have run out of words,i have run out of words,i have run out of words,
