I used the balls tonight. Asked for the freshest lanes and they actually had a fair amount of oil. They drilling with the pin next to rf. This ball was a very smooth reacting ball. It had a nice strong arc to it. Not real snappy. I was playing around 10 swinging to 5. My Creature actually snapped harder but the Break covered more if that make since to you. I also used my Break with the pin high and scuffed it with a green scotch brite. That one was really snappy. Outhooked other one by about 6-7 boards. The Creature I could not really use because it just started up to early for the shot put out. I will post more of a review once I get more games on them from league and tournament conditions. If you have any questions please ask.

From my understanding, you will NOT find them from any online e-tailers...global is going to be distributors and pro shops ONLY...Eric or Newguy could answer this better for ya...

Well, since the "major" online sellers are backed by distributors (Classic or Ace) or also have pro shops (Buddies), I would guess that we would see find them for sale online. If not they are missing out on a lot of sales.

Sounds similar to a Lane #1 approach.
Doesn't sound like a bad approach to me. Don't know what that means for those that have to drive an hour to get to the local pro shop only to find that they don't carry 900 Global and won't order them because they are in the pockets of Ebonite and Storm. Or for those that drill their own equipment and buy mainly on-line, either because the local shops don't carry product, don't have conveinient hours, or can't duplicate a drilling to save their arse.
Either way, I'll guess the product will find it's way to the consumer.
I did also hear that a majority of the Breaks were going overseas and there would be a 2-3 month wait for new Breaks.

No offense, but the Professional was supposed to be "pro-shops only" and it was more than easily found online.
I do like the no-distributors approach. Cutting out the middleman probably saves everyone money.

I for one hate to hear that your products will not be available online. I understand your reasoning, but I really think you are gonna hurt your own sales. I was looking forward to buying and trying out some of your equipment, but since I drill my own equipment and do not support my local (so called)"pro"shop and his arrogant attitude and $270 ball prices, I guess I won't be able to try your equipment unless maybe someone will put them on ebay.

I'm in the same boat. There are guys on here selling them, but the price is a little more than I can justify spending at this time (considering I have 9 used balls and 15 NIB sitting around waiting to drill).

websites. You order from the site and then the site has Lane 1 drop ship
the product. About the only similarity is that Lane 1 does not use
distributers either.
