Likes: Almost everything about it! The ball has great length through the mids and excellent carry in the 1-3. Don't have it drilled up to crazy but it is very impressive indeed--I am playing way in by the third game. First session I had it I left quite a few ringing ten pins and was a little discouraged but after that it has been smooth sailing as the tens fall time after time, after time, etc. Have missed a few boards OOB and as long as I had my hand underneath with a clean release it gets back with ease. I have seen ppl review this ball as a not-so-aggressive ball, but I beg to differ it can read as many boards as the biggest hooking ball I have ever had. This ball also has some great hold as I thought a couple times that I was looking at a possible 4-9 at the least, yet the ball sits and trucks through as if it were intended to be on that line---that is proabably what impressed me the most. The combination of swinging and holding that this ball has makes me a Lane #1 believer. Now this ball doesn't cure all that ails a bowler, lets face it there is no "perfect" ball, but the dislikes are something that can easily be cured with a few simple gestures. Ball works well in heavy oil situations playing straight up...no over under at all

Dislikes: Transition has been touch and go with this ball. If the lane is slightly breaking down, then the ball can be used very effectively throughout with some proactive moves, albeit small. If the lane is making quick, then it can be a bad result of leaving a couple light, flat 7-10 pocket with a possible big split. With increased ball speed through some breakdown also caused some hard, yet stiff ten pins also. If the ball is thrown too light it can easily leave the nine pin, but that is common with most benchmark equipment. Haven't used yet on a pba/sport pattern, but I am looking forward to see if this ball can hold the way it does on a diff pattern.

------------------------------------------

have used it for fifty games here are the stats (unofficial except award scores)---1 300 : 1 800 (834) : over a dozen 9+ strike games : around 235 avg.............unfortunately now my ball has died a little bit, am hoping that some rejuvenation/resurface to get it back to "out of box" condition. if not, then i am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS BALL. I mean come on, 200 dollars for a ball that lasts sixty games? Hope not Lane #1-it's my first purchase and i don't want it to be the last...

LANE CONDITION

Length: 41ft

Volume: 60 units center, tapered out to 5, some OB outside

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): THS

COMMENTS

Likes: This ball is buttery smooth. I've thrown dozens of bowling balls just in the last few years alone, probably hundreds overall; this one is by far the smoothest. It glides through the heads easily and starts very early for a polished ball, but doesn't lose strength on the backend and doesn't overreact off the friction. Carry has been spot on, only singles are generally a bad angle by me; even those carry at times. When I hit flush, it carries pretty much everytime.

Dislikes: Low RG solid, so it does start up very early in the mids so dry lanes and short oil can be an issue. It's not designed as a dry lane ball though, so I can't really hold that against it.

Likes: This is probly the best ball Lane #1 has produced in a few years. I have exclusivly thrown there products for 7 years and this ball put a smile and confidence back in me thats been gone awhile. The oversized diamond hits like a tank and gives a consitent read. I work at a pro shop and this ball has outsold any of there products since I've been there.
