Black Cherry Bomb
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
After creating the most powerful reactive ball ever made, Lane #1 kick’s it up a notch, combining our powerful, high flaring Cherry Bomb core with our super aggressive, solid Carbide Resin coverstock. When your Super Carbide Bomb is hooking too early, and your Pearl Cherry Bomb just won’t cut through the oil, Lane #1’s new Carbide/R Black Cherry BOMB gives you an explosion that’s unheard of.!!


Color: Black/Cherry Swirl
Cover Stock: CarbideTM Resin Solid
Core: Diamond flip block W/ Dual Stacked Mini Diamond Nuggets
Hook Rating: 25
Flare Potential: 8”
Pin Placement: 12 O’ clock 1-4” out
Construction: 5- piece
Finish: Polished
Available Weights: 13,14,15 & 16lbs

i've had this ball for about a month now and i think i can finally do a review on it.

Ball specs:
15#
2.5" pin
drilled stacked lev (4x4) with a weight hole on my pap.
coverstock - polished so it looks like a pearl ball.

This ball is insane.  When they say medium-heavy oil...that's what they mean.  My basic game is stand 25, over 15, out to 8 and back in.  I can usually play this shot on most conditions with my silver diamond but with the BCB i had to play deep left and swing it right in order to get it to the pocket with the box finish.  I had to polish it once to tame it down, still to strong for my game.  I had to polish it again, and now it doesn't do a damn thing...don't polish this ball!

This ball is T-O-U-C-H-Y!  If you miss your mark on any shot, ur gonna miss the pocket.  Luckily if u miss right then it'll still carry cuz it's a bomb.  If you hit ur target to the left, say goodbye to the ball and pray it goes brooklyn.  This ball is insane and saves all its energy till the very end on the back ends.  Like the demo on the website, u have to swing it right in order to get it back to the pocket with the box finish.  

I'll post more when i use the ball more often.  I've only bowled maybe 30 games with this ball and it's hard to make a review so early.  Be expecting an up-date in a lil bit!

This is my first review.

Ball Specs.
15#
2-3 oz topweight
2-3 inch pin.
Ball drilled label.  My axis is about 4 over and right on the midline just to give a clear picture.  No weight hole yet.

I've put about 100 games on this ball by now so I think I can put a decent review up for it.  

Positives:
This ball is real clean down the lane, revs up nice on mid and makes a strong move inside.  I would say the hit is slightly above average for what I've thrown.  I've carried more brooklyns and light mixers with this ball than any other.  However, I still do leave MY bucket (2,4,5) when I play it too deep.  
On a down and in shot I would say that this is a great ball if you can keep your breakpoint a little farther down the lane than normal.  Like I said, this ball is a very strong moving ball and makes a move earlier than other stuff I've thrown.  This can be a problem with a down and in shot if you hit dry a little early.  But I would say if you are willing to make an adjustment and move a board or two you should be out of trouble.  Don't be stubborn with her, she will punish you.

I do like how the ball is responsive to subtle changes in hand position upon release.  I'll detail later how this is a negative, but the ball will indeed roll differently according to how it is released, which is kind of expected, but not always achieved.  

Negatives:
This ball rolls out.  I know it is not solely how I throw it because I have other equipment that does not roll out.  Maybe I'm playing on too dry of a surface for this ball to be continuous, but for me, it does not roll forever.  Now sometimes I need it to roll out to give me a little room when I miss my mark early.  But it gets irratating when I'm trying to play a more inside line and I have to get my hand practically on the side of the ball to make sure it keeps going.  That is by far my biggest complaint.

Second, the ball picks up a lot of crap.  I guess this is because it is a PK cover, and they tend to pick up a lot of junk.  But this ball gets filthy, and I truly believe that the kind of filth it picks up significantly affects the roll.  

Third, it is sensitive.  Now I don't mind that too much, but my last ball was a freak out and that ball was not nearly as sensitive to slight miscues in throwing.  If you don't execute with this ball, I give it a better than average chance of going deep or through the schnoz.  

With that in mind, I hope this helps those looking to buy this ball.  I do recommend this ball to people I talk to, but am looking for something a little more mild that might not burn up as much.  I'm also looking to throw this on either a sport shot or somewhere that lays down a little more oil outside 10.  Perhaps this is not a good match-up for a regular house condition.  

Please PM me with suggestions about improving reviews so I write up a few more.

First of all never buy a Lane one product!

They all do the same thing roll early and hit crummy.

Buying balls over the internet is retarded!So if you buy these

Junkers you deserve what you get!!!!!!!!!

All you lameone freaks can get all over me but the equipment is junk!!!!

UP-DATED REVIEW!

Ball specs:
15#
2.5" pin
drilled stacked lev (4x4) with a weight hole on my pap.

all i gotta say it, don't screw with the cover stock.  Polished mine twice, sanded it back down to box finish, ball doesn't do a thing.  It'll move when i slow my speed down, but for higher speed bowlers like me, i don't like it.  I'm not a big Lane1 fan anymore, i'm switching back to storm.

for anyone that has a medium ball speed, lane 1 rocks, but for higher speed/rev players, i wouldn't recommend lane 1.  the reaction is way to late for our kind of game.  in my personal view at least.

Drilled this one up with a stacked leverage drill.  I polished it, and it only works on down and in dry lane shots.  I am a high end tweener and this ball just gives me problems.  This is the first out of four lane #1 balls that I dislike.  I have a Super Carbide Bomb as well, so it is not the core.

BCB is by far one of my favorite balls for oily lanes. I don't know what kind of shot you guys are playin' on but this ball loves the oil, especially since i sanded it. I am a cranker and this ball is the total NUT. If you sand the ball make sure you have plenty of oil to throw it on, otherwise you'll be dialing the back row. My BCB is drilled 4 1/2 max leverage pin under ring finger c.g. out. This ball for heavy oil i rate at 10 all day. some of you might want to check your drillings and play the lanes accordingly, instead of playing what is not there.....>>>>>>>>THERE IS ONLY LANE #1.

I have had this ball about a month, and all I can say is holy s***!.  This is the best ball I have thrown.  I have it drilled stacked, roll long and snap, and this ball has increased my average a lot since I got it.  It hits like a truck and rarely leaves 10 pins of any kind, and when it does, your jaw will drop because it is just unbelievable how hard this ball hits.  It carries excellent too, whether it's light, solid, or even brooklyn, they all carry the same.  I shot 300 with this ball my first week, my first 300 ever, and ended up with a 713 that set.  I went out today and shot 739, the only pins missed were two 9 pins, left only because this is so much ball, and two 4 pins, because the ball rolls so hard into the pocket.  If anyone is looking for a ball, and does not want to make it Columbia 300, which I also love, save up an extra $30 and get this!  10/10

Now that I have started a league with this ball, I can tell just how good it is.  I average 216 right now.

**Sorry this delayed a few months**

Above avg speed, med-hi revs, RH
Lane Conditions: Medium-Heavy Oil
Played 12-8
Weight of bowling ball: 16
Surface of bowling ball: Polished

Likes: Length, backend. Good carry but leaves the 9 ALOT.

Dislikes: Moves too early if you miss inside. Not forgiving. It is overly sensitive if you miss inside or lose any ball speed. KEEP IT CLEAN ALWAYS.
 
Obviously I am less impressed than some other users. It's still a great ball if you are consistent and on the right conditions.


7.5-8 out of 10

I tried using this ball in 2 different sport shot tourneys, heavy oil on the front and both times the ball would burn up before it hit the break point.  I ended up getting more backend hook out of my XXL.  I also found that my Storm X Factor made a much stronger move on the backend.

This ball has probably been the most disappointing Lane 1 product I have purchased.
