Newest joke of a video . . Buzzbomb
« on: February 21, 2008, 07:18:03 AM »
Just what is Lane 1 trying to get at here?  A guy that dumps the ball has recovery from 5 on the Shark?  Especially dumping it from TWENTY out to five?  At least he put on the video that it was the night after league.  I can't bring myself to watch these videos all the way through.  I thought the Liberator video was dumb . . at least I made it further through this one though.  They're misinforming the people who are still learning, and insulting the intelligence of people that know better.  I had plenty of Lane 1 balls way back when . .  Cherry Bomb, Carbide LRG, Tsunami, Uranium, Uranium Solid, orginal pearl Viper, an Emerald, Blueberry, and a Cranberry.  Guess what?  All good balls . . liked them all.  Not knocking the balls, knocking the presentation.  Compare those videos to Brunswick's videos.  Somebody that knows what they're doing, someone who throws the ball well, they compare it to other balls, let you know what moves they make and where, and if they claim it's a sport pattern, he actually hits the same target more than once.  Go ahead and bash me . . Lane 1 just needs to seriously up the quality and substance of their videos.  Watching those videos makes me want to avoid them like the plague.

Well, In Nashville we have about 16 pro shops and none of them carry Lane 1 simply because non PBA members have to pay almost $300 with grips to buy these things. Brunswick, Ebonite, Hammer, Track, Columbia, Storm,  Roto Grip, AMF the "Big 8" are the balls that sell. I do not care how good or bad Mike's videos are, you cannot give away a Lane 1, Lanemasters, or Visionary ball around here. 900 Global, Insite, AZO, and Banger are non existent.

The "Big 8" is all you need, and that is all you see being thrown on the pro tour. It does not matter 900 Global pours AMF, AMF is a name that has existed for 50+ years.

I payed $140.00 for my Liberator. That included the tax, drilling, slug, inserts, and a free game. Guess it depends on the pro shop pricing. Glad I don't live in Nashville.

REV,

Some shops actually prefer to make money, mine included.

Yeah, I know dude. That was a favor. Next purchase will be "business as usual." Still, I have never, ever seen a ball sell for $300.00 in a pro shop around here.

Nor here, we top out at 219.95. I'd love to be able to sell stuff for 249.95+ like I've seen some midwest get. Believe me, I'd love it!

Shoot... The shop I frequent has 279.99 on the Roto Grip SD-73 Classic... The Shifts are $10 less than that and MoRich is either the same as the Shifts, or $10 less...

This is about as Midwest as it gets.

I have no ball priced over $209. I include the following in every ball purchase:

Drilling
Finger inserts or thumb slug
Initial coverstock tweaking
Monthly cleanings
6 month coverstock touch up
12 month grip and surface analysis
3 games at our house
Coaching Lesson if desired
A 1 time $50 gift Certificate Incentive for a 300 or 800 thrown with the ball

Plenty of value in my mind but alas for many it's too much......

Thanks Detective...and I like to think I have the service to back it up but yet I only drill 2-3 balls a week on average....probably better that way though...any more and I'd be swamped and wouldn't get anything else done!!!!!

That's right and the only good ball from Roto is the Cell. Don't buy any of their other balls, because they stink..!! =:^D


Your absolute joke. I 100% guarantee you i'll be just as competitive with my $80 Pluto against your cult members with there $220 Lame1 crap.

I wonder if you even believe the crap that comes from your mouth anymore, or if your just trying to annoy people at this point.
