I'm thinking about buying my first Lane 1 ball here within the next couple of weeks and was wondering if I could get some suggestions? I want a ball for medium oil almost like a benchmark type ball.

My stats are in my profile.

if you can get your hands on a tsunami or h20 they are a ball that will never leave your arsenal for very long , very good introductory ball . Smooth roll big hit easy to throw , and can be used on alot of different lane conditions .

Thanks for the reference Roy...

My idea of a benchmark ball is something smooth with a consistent movement down the lane. The original Chainsaw might be a better fit here after a slight surface adjustment it should be able to handle more oil.

The new Massacre has the makings of a awesome ball, just might be to angular for his needs. But then again, that might be what he's looking for... I sure can't wait to get mine..

If a Chainsaw is meant as a dry-lane piece (and according to Bowling This Month reviews, it is), then I would recommend something else.

If you can find older gear, the Tsunami H20 is a great bet.

Of the newer stuff, I would say BuzzBomb/R but I know a lot of people don't want to use pearls as a benchmark. The Retro THS might work but I haven't really seen a lot of people raving about that ball.

Perhaps an Agent Orange with a little surface polish?

One of the best medium balls out there(almost a one ball arsenal for typical league play) very versatile and great bang for the buck when wanting to try lane1.

whats your style of play Clay ?
more of a cranker, or more of a stroker ?
speed dominate or rev dominate ?
and your preferred line

this will help me give you a recommendation
I read your profile, but it didn't tell me what I needed to know.

I would suggest Teal THS, G-Force Nebula, or Original Chainsaw if you got hand.... Nebula is one of the best kept secrets, I use mine when the backends are snappy or there's over under. It carries down and in or if you swing the lanes. Besides you probably can find one $85-$99ish NIB.

I'm a tweener but I can put a little more on it if need be and I also can fluff it down the lane if I have to.

When I'm bowling good my revs and speed match up quite well. My preferred line is standing 30 to 35 looking around 3rd arrow but I work real hard on trying to be as versitale and play where ever the lane dictates. Hope this help..

XXXL or Liberator, then stick with other companies for your hook balls because they're cheaper and just as good

But those two pieces are truly peerless.
