Title: Dry lane selection
Post by: Big Jake on December 08, 2007, 11:15:46 AM
Hello L/M Group,

 I have been looking around for a dry lane ball and my searching has brought me
to the Lane Masters gear.

 So my question is which Lane Masters ball is the better ball for dry conditions?

I currently have a Lane1 Red XXL (plastic with a core) when I use it to throw up the ten board but since its plastic if I miss my mark it will slide in the little oil thats left and go to long before it turns

so that is why I need a dry lane ball  but I don't know which Lane Masters dry lane ball to get, here are my options but please feel free to advise as I don't know anything about this brand of balls.

1) Straight Flush
2) The Buzz
3) The Hornet

And could you also give suggestions on what PIN and Pin placement that would work for a throwing up around the ten board...thanks for your input

Jake

From what i've seen here.. The Straight Flush will do the same as your XXL..

Jake,

I have the Straight Flush, it's ok, you need to use it on totally burnt lanes, like in the summer.

I have the Big R Bang, this ball is great for dry lanes.  Even by moving left, this ball has great length and tremendous backend.  When it flips, the turn is great and the pins explode. I love this ball, when the lanes start to dry up.

Hope this helps!

Hornet is exactly what you are looking for.  The ball rolls like urethane, except on todays conditions.  Not to mention the hit.
