Help picking my first Lane 1 ball
« on: March 27, 2009, 07:32:13 AM »
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.

Well I suppose Ill add my thoughts to this. First off I do agree that morich, lane 1 and VBP are all niche type companies. I have thrown many morich balls and they are by far my favorite, now these balls cost the same as lane 1 and the only reason they are on TV is WRW face it you put a Lane 1 in his hands and he would probably score with it as well it is all who holds the ball. Also Ive only thrown the xxxl but if the rest of the diamonds carry as good as well as that ball does why wouldnt people throw saws? Finally my local shop charges about 200-220 drilled for lane 1 and morich are just a little cheaper BUT VBP cost an arm and a leg locally those cost up to 250 all prices are drilled out the door. Now the sauces locally cost 225, the magic is also 200+ and I can get the levrg series for cheaper as well as many lane 1 balls. So why havent you trolled the ebo forums? I know people who are everybit as bad if not worse about anticipating the new balls, same goes for roto, storm, Bruns, and ALL your other companies. I think what it boils down to is all you lane 1 trolls come in here just cause you cant stand being different you want it to be like the 50s where everybody used 1 of 3 rubber balls and called it good.... Lastly being a big fan of Mo, VBP, and Lane 1 balls I get a lot of flack from my brother(lives in texas and throws the ebo family of balls) he calls all my mo,and lane 1 balls yank balls and says the same about VBP so would you call him an ebo fanboy?

Looked at your profile and stated your a tweener.  If you have decent speed and revs.  I would recommend the Buzzbomb/R.  Layout is key to get the reaction you want.  If your speed is good without revs i'd try a buzzbomb, agent orange or dynamo.  This year was my 1st Lane 1 purchases also.  I got 2 balls the supernova xp and the buzzbomb/r. I've averaged 220+ with them.  Do your research and shall be rewarded! Two guys I bowl with also had purchased there 1st lane #1 buzzbomb/r's.  They've both shot their 1st 800 series.  Remember this these were my 1st Lane #1 balls and the will pay for themselves in brackets and cards.  I also just cashed in a scratch tourney with my supernova xp.  Any saw is better than no saw.  Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spend your money elsewhere!  Lane #1 are overpriced and "oil soaking sponges."  Mid priced Brunswick or Storms last longer and will make you happier in the long run!

So they absorb 20% more oil?


I've seen a couple of people throw the Buzzsaw THS, and it was really even rolling. I'd get one if I didn't already have a ball like that.

When we get that 'inverted' release worked out, the Lane#1 thing will make more sense. Keep your head up.....

Retro Buzzsaw THS. Very good medium benchmark type ball. Smooth as butter!

Storm: Good choice on the Supernova. I've been happy with mine. It's set up with a stacked drill with the pin just to the right of the ring finger. It's a controlled arch type reaction. If you want more length and flip, I'd consider a higher pin position (possibly above the ring) with the MB kicked a little more to the right.

Mine has been very durable so far. I'm really liking the covers out of San Antonio.

Storm: I like your style. Instead of sitting on the sidelines and trolling, you're jumping in and giving Lane#1 and honest try. Hopefully you'll like the reaction and consider trying other Lane#1 pieces out. Good luck.
