Yeah, that was my experience, too. Roy and Betty. I can still see their faces. But then, I've had that experience with a much larger center recently. It's owned by the guy who actually drilled my first ball years and years ago. The staff are all personable and treat customers like family.

I have a seismic euphoria and love it great low to medium oil ball. We have quite a few of them being thrown in our house started with one and they have kind of caught on. Their balls seem to be one way or the other though they are either lighter oil balls or hook monsters not as much in the middle. If I was looking for a heavy oil big hook or a lighter oil ball give them a look.

I've never actually seen anyone throwing Lord Field I think they may be more on the west coast. I might try one some day I like unusual stuff.

So you've thrown a little bit of it then, right?

**mike_thomas93** · 07-20-2014, 06:31 PM

That ball I believe I've heard of. Just never looked into it in depth.

Lord Field is certainly proud of their products. I'm not too interested, because they don't market a 12# ball, which is what I have to throw right now.

Yes I have it's been my only ball that I've used for leagues this summer. It hits great and is very versatile for me the only thing I've had issues with is it's not made for heavier oil conditions but on light or medium it's a great piece. I started out with it polished and it was great on the lighter oil for leagues I hit it with a little 2000 pad and it has been pretty good to me on the medium. The owner of my pro shop has the seismic euphoric and likes it really well and one of the other guys on my league is throwing a seismic raging bull that he says has replaced two storm balls he really liked. Truth is there are more great balls out right now than I have money to buy.

Noooo!!! Look awayyyy!!! Don't succumb to the Aslanness!
Step away from the checkbook, and no one gets hurt!
Remember, It's all fun-and-games until you have to get a bigger roller bag.
