to get in for a cheaper investment.
I'll just say this. If the Buzzsaw/Carbide can handle the heavy soup better than the Rasberry I need to see it! The guys at my lane were amazed. I'm a 2nd arrow lefty like many of us and they had just oiled. I immediately had to play third arrow. The ball is early
rolling and still continuous and angular at the backend.
The Powerkoil 18 cover stock(from Brunswick like the Danger Zone)
can almost be heard grabbing the lane. Our lanes often have an out of bounds towards the gutter yet this ball treated it like dry!
This ball drilled 4 by 4 compares very favorably with my Pantera
from Ebonite drilled Revs Leverage. It might be a little earlier
and a little bit more of a constant arc down the lane until its snap down the backend.
I own most of the so called great proactives, Zone Azure, Rock,
Track Enforcer. None have the continuation that the two above
Reactives have. But, I do know this I love the lane#1 weightblock!
They've told me I'll shoot a 300 soon with one of their balls.
I'm certain they are right! Anyone know where I can get a backup of this great reactive??

A note on my game this year I'm bowling great on long oil patterns with my reactives. I'm struggling with transitions and suffering with dramatic over/under. Last year I had hammer reactives drilled control and particle balls. I'm looking at this ball to help solve the over/under problem I'm having.
This ball came 4 inch pin out and top weight of 4 ounces. Drilled modified thumb leverage. Pin near ring finger at 4 inches pin to pap. CG straight down in a 12:00 o'clock drilling. CG 1 1/2 inches below the grip midline. Weighthole 6 3/4 inches from the grip center on a line from grip center thru the CG. Large shallow hole. Ending weights 1 1/4 top, 3/4 side, 1/2 thumb.
This ball is not a heavy oil monster in the out of the box condition like the AMF evolution Tour. It is more like a mass chaos or an avenger. Early read and lots of recovery for a particle. I had tremendous area with this ball. Almost as early as a track enforcer, jade quantum, rock, or la nina. But with much more recovery than all of them! This is the most recovery I've had in a particle ball!
Put against my thumb leverage drilled Pantera, and Hammer 4D(Naturally they are reactive) which were both overreacting this ball recovered almost as well but started its move earlier for more control.
I bowled a little match against lucky jr age 7, his score plus 80 pins and threw a nice little low 600. Lots of low pin mix and carry.
This may be what we are looking for from a particle. Early read, lots of control and recovery and big hit! Currently on medium heavy I'll grade 8.5 out of 10. Possible upgrade!
Heavy oiler out of the box? no! Great ball maybe? Possibly yes. Possible great heavy oiler maybe with scotch brite.

Luckylefty
PS Lucky JR won averaging 130!

A quick update. Just bowled on a tournament condition where I couldn't believe this ball. It was a little dryer than I would anticipate using this ball but in practice it was looping inside out so strongly I couldn't put it down.
I had so much area as long as I didn't tug it, anyway I had operator errors.
Four muffed shots in a row led to four straight light splits. Still had 6 strikes in the game. Never have I had so much area left(lefty). Somehow the biorhythems were off and I had 6 strikes in every game and at least 3 opens!
If I had more time I would have entered another squad and qualified and maybe won the thing!
Around me stronger handed leftys and righties were throwing their rocks, total chaos and the like straight up the boards. Me I was swinging 13 to 8, 7, 6, 5, and striking explosively on all these lines. This 4" pin out ball in box surface makes this tweener look like a cranker!
They've told me at Lane#1 I will shoot my first 300 with this ball. I think they are right and it will not have to be thrown that well! All I need is for a half decent version of me to show up.
Best recovery for a particle ball ever and yet still very even down the lane!
See my post on 02/01/ for drilling specs.

above avg. speed and revs!
I just recently recieved this ball from a fellow league member! I had it drilled 4 x 4 1/2. I put the pin just to the right of my ring finger! I took some storm extra polish to it to shine it up. It is a really agressive ball. It starts to roll very early. The ball is very strong so I wanted to take advantage of the strength. This drilling did it alright! This ball does not get through the heads good it reacts as soon as is gets in the slightest bit of dry. I would recommend this ball to just about anyone. It is very strong dynamically, and if you have any hand in the ball at all you will need to move left!
Good Luck and Good Bowling
Michael

I drilled this ball with pretty much a Label drilling, with the CG kicked out just a lil bit. It is a very READABLE ball, and rolls great on fresh oil. And like all Lane #1 balls, it simply blasts pins apart. This is not there must aggressive ball, they have 3 others that outhook it, but this ball rolls great and I am very happy that I have gone all Lane #1
I will be getting my XL tomorrow, and will post up my review of it on Wed. My scores for the five games that I have shot with this ball are (in order) 198, 246, 239, 229, and 280. All I can say is if you have not drilled up a Lane #1 ball yet, What are you waiting for?

A buddy of mine threw my buzzsaw because he had always wanted to. As soon as we threw his second shot, he wanted my ball. I couldn't believe the smile on his face when he threw that ball. When we were actually bowling he couldn't average anything less than 255 with this ball. He will bowl with this ball in another house and I will update how my "sponsered" bowler did.
Thanks for making great equipment. My goal is to get another one of your balls soon.

Ball Specs:
15-pounds with a 3 1/2 inch pin.
I just had this ball drilled prior to my Wednesday nite league, I was trying to get a feel for this ball and work using different type of releases. During the first game I was having problems with the thumb hole and I bowled a sub-par 141 game, Once i relaxed my hand and arm swing, I proceed to bowl 235 and 234. This ball is simply awesome, The carry of the three buzzsaws' I currently own all these buzzsaws'hit very hard, well i drilled the ball a little strong so the ball can read the mid-lane (On a blocked condition)I will give a my up to date review once I use this ball alittle more.
Good bowling

I've used this ball for a few weeks now, and the one thing that stands is that Lane #1 bowling balls are some of the hardest hitting balls on the market.
These are the type of balls that can be used by all types of bowling styles. I've basically in the past used bowling balls from Storm, Columbia, Brunswick. And i've used the following companies equipment with good results, but the one key element i was looking for in bowling equipment, is carry!
If you look past the price on Lane#1 bowling balls, these balls are the answer to the carry issue.
Now to the review:
I purchased this ball to be used on Heavy to tight oiling patterns. Sorry i don't know the specs on this ball (because i'm a beginner in the area of ball layouts, but i'm learning)
This ball was drilled to read the mid-lane quickly, and arc towards the pocket.
The carry is simply awesome (and that's half the battle),this is a consistent performer, and like i stated slowly but surely i'm up dating all my equipment to Lane #1 products. I currently have a Carbine LRG on order and I look forward as to what this ball will do?
Good bowling to everyone:

This is a ball you can use just about everywhere (except dry and floods).
The hit is amazing!
Please do us all a favor Lane#1 and bring some of your oldies (but goodies) back from the dead...

A so-so Saw
Lane Conditions: Medium Oil
Typical Conditions: Variety of Shots
Type of Lane: All Synthetic
What part of the lane did you play? Second Arrow
Did the ball track out? Normal
Weight of bowling ball: 16
Surface of bowling ball: Factory/Box
Likes: Smooth reaction, less over under with the layout drilled on the ball.
Dislikes: Hit/carry, definitely not strong enough for a Buzzsaw!
I picked this used Buzzsaw up for one reason and that was to blend out some over under issues on a wet/dry. Since the C separated mini nugget core was a nice heavy roller I thought that would work.
My Blue Solid is 16 pounds with a 3-4" pin out distance, and it's drilled with the pin next to ring finger and the CG at the 3:00 position.
I used this ball on two different oil patterns bowling on synthetic lanes. The first one was 40ft walled out 10-10 zero buff in the backends, wet/dry horizontally as well as vertically. This Buzzsaw struggled to make it back to the pocket in and out of the oil. Standing slide foot on 25 sending it out to 10 at the breakpoint, I hardly hit the pocket in practice. When league finally started and I did hit the pocket the ball just didn't carry for squat. So I put it away...
I recently used this ball in a tournament where they double oiled the heads to last for 18 games. The result was playing straight up five and arching smoothly and gentyl into the pocket. I had to seriously reduce my speed in order to get the ball home, but it carried better than average once it made it. The reaction wasn't jerky, but even overall down the lane.
I sold this ball because it overlaps a much better hitting and carrying Enforcer. It's not a bad ball but isn't as good as they said it would be.

Brought the ball back home to Canada. Threw it at my local centre. It went dead straight. It did about as much as my buddy's LT48. Barely bent once the carry down came. So I sanded it with a burgandy pad (about 600grit). It was better, but still squirty. Got it in the oil and it would just slide. Providing I was in the dry it was alright...and when it was there it ripped the rack. Just I felt no control with this ball. Even dulled up, it didn't blend the lanes out as I had hoped...I was looking for something else in the ball. I gave the ball to my dad, and he finds it to be one of the best balls he has ever thrown. Guess its just a bit condition specific, but has tremendous carry and hit.
