    I never clean the ball, and it seems the more i use it, the more aggressive it becomes, this ball was definetely the pick of the litter for me, ive now bowled it on wood and synthetic, on wood it snaps into the pocket just fine, on synthetic it snaps in very aggressively, but when the oil starts to disappear, it can be thrown to have a mild hook, or even no hook at all, well, mine is drilled like that, the bad thing is, its not drilled for an aggressive hook, but it is aggressive all the same, imagine it drilled for aggression, wow!!!!!!

    Had this ball ordered in the States. The first time that i used it fell in love with it. What an amazing backend. Plus controlability and predictability. Only 2 of us have it here in the Philippines. Mostly bowlers have storm and columbia. Highly recommend this ball to anyone. Good design and color makes this prouct stand out from the rest. Pure quality and workmanship. My go-to ball whenever i need control and predictability. Im totally hands down to Lane Master. Youll be a force to be reckoned with soon. Sam Baca your the Best. To all Filipino bowlers out there mabuhay and keep those pins away. Happy Bowling!!!!

    THIS BALL HAS A NICE REACTION BEACAUSE ITS NEW BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF GAMES ON IT THE BALL DOESNT MAKE STRIKES THIS BALL DOESNT BAD BUT IS THE FINISH HAS BEEN AN LOWLY MORE SANDED MAYBE YOU CAN THROW MORE STRIKES BUT THIS BALL HAS A VERY AWFUL COLOR AND A POOR HOOK IN OILY CONDITIONS BUT IF YOU WANT A HOOK YOU CAN ADJUST TO THE LANE WITH THIS BALL SO THIS MAKE THE BALL SPECIAL YOU CAN THROW SICE A HIG REV GAME IN MEDIUM - DRY CONDITION TO A LOW REV GAME IN HEAVY OIL I ALSO THINK THE LANEMASTER COMPANIE HAS GOOD BALL BUT DOESNT HAVE PROMOTION WITH THE PBA PLAYER OR PWBA PLAYERS<sc

    I am a high rev lefty(410), with medium/high speed(17) My Extreme Impact has a 3 inch pin and is drilled with the Pin above the bridge and the Cg stacked.(5x5) For me this ball is not a heavier oil ball by any means, it needs a little dry boards. I have used the ball on many shots but had the most success with it on medium-medium/heavy oil with strong backends. The ball glides through the heads and waits till it hits the dry BOOM the ball flips very hard to the pocket. And that flag makes sure you know what your doing. You can tell how you released everytime by the way the flag rotates. And on to the carry, this ball does hit hard, no special crack sounds or anything like that it just hits HARD, I really have no problem generating carry but this thing sends the pins flying. PS I have sold this ball to a friend, a low rev lefty cause I have a new phobia for plugs. Anyway, he is doing very good with the ball also on medium - medium/dry patterns.

    I threw this ball the other night. It was my buddies and he had just got it so he only let me throw a few games with it but that was enough to order one. This ball hit extremely hard and carried everything as long as the ball got near the pocket. It got pretty good lenght and came back really strong to the pocket. I just can't wait until mine comes in and I can bowl my league with it. I will post again later when I get my own!..............Man 100 words is kinda hard to get but I think i will be able to do it

    Truly an amazing ball. Not a big hook by design but more than enough to get the job done - and does it! I've never seen a ball carry like this ball. It sounds like pins are cracking! Scouts flying everywhere - not rolling, flying. Goes long then arc's toward the pocket - not a snap, but a good strong arc. Easy to read, easy to control and believe me - this ball carries. Extremely low maintenance ball. Nothing like it - ever! I know it sounds as though I've got stock in the company or something - not true. I've thrown plenty of balls in my time - certainly more than most - and this ball is so unique, I don't know what to say. Not carried in most pro shops but "they" say this ball will revolutionize bowling balls. I know "they" said the same about the pro-active balls - but this time it is true! Worth every effort to get one - it will improve your game with the carry alone. Add in the control of breakpoint and your average can't help but go upwards. I just can't say enough

    This is the Lane Masters Extreme Impact, perhaps the most powerful bowling ball in the world. It'll take your pins clean off... Drilled this one 4x4 with no hole, pin over fingers. Pay attention to the drill sheets, all the drillings are pin over fingers and I'm sure there is a good reason for that. This ball is just plain the bomb. Much like the Massive Impact, except plays best on a medium to light oil. Fun to watch as it revs, stands and delivers a crushing hit, even harder than the Massive on the right amount of oil. Big CRACK sound as it hits if you're flush. Awesome carry. Plays the lane with more of a hockey-stick look to the shot. Not a violent flip, but a sharp quick arc. It's a little less forgiving on a missed release than I would like, but that has taught me the value of keeping the hand soft and the swing pure. For more, see my review of the Massive Impact... If your opponent has one of these in his hand, you gotta ask yourself one question... Do ya

    I got turned onto these impact balls through my USA Coach. It was startling to see this ball hit the pins the first time. The pin action defies description. The ball is perfect for both house patterns and sport shot patterns. The key word is CONTROL! The ball never takes you out of the game. If you make your shot, there is no surprises. The ball goes long and comes back very hard. I can play the second and third arrow as long as I have good back ends. I have never used this ball that I did not have a crowd gather behind me. It is truely an amazing bowling ball. You cannot go wrong by having this ball in your arsenal

    This ball is supposed to bring about a revolution in the bowling ball industry, and I believe it will. This ball is like nothing on the market right now. The power it has going into the pocket, the pin action it generates at impact is incredible. For the past 6 seasons, I have averaged between 193 - 201 in several houses and lane bed covers (both wood and synthetic). I picked this ball up this season and have averaged close to 220 with the only sub 600 series coming the first time I threw it and the only mistake I made was putting it away for something else. It can be turned up for max power to the pocket and (God Forbid), if it does leave a corner (not many, but it is not immune) it can be flattened out to pick it up. Like any resin, can be drilled for many different reactions, I use it on a house shot, med oil, sure it could be drilled much more aggresive then I have it set up for more oil. It is also designed to take more games before needing to be resurfaced then any other ball on
