Playmaker vs. Lane Breaker
« on: July 13, 2009, 02:52:54 PM »
Anyone know if the Lane Breaker is supposed be longer than the Playmaker? I would like to maybe get either ball to put between my Power Machine and 505C (thinking outside the box this summer and getting more mid-performance balls). From most of the videos I've seen it looks like the Playmaker may be earlier and stronger on the backend. Both balls have coverstocks that I've done good with in the past so it's a hard choice to make.

Its my opinion that the Playmaker is going to be more reliable, the Traxion coverstock used on the Lanebreaker has a history of dying out. The Playmaker should yield more length, but alot of reaction can be changed up with abralon. Overall hook has to go to the Lanebreaker as well.


Hope this helps,

From what I have seen the LaneBreaker has about the same length as the Playmaker but the LaneBreaker has a touch more backend than the Playmaker.

Overall hook is about the same but the Playmaker does it more in the midlane while the LaneBreaker does it more on the backend.

Thanks! Still debating which one I need. Almost leaning toward the Playmaker since I think the Lane Breaker is going to be too similar to my Power Machine.

In having both, my lanebreaker goes a bit longer, but the Power Machine is much more fierce in the back.  When my PM gets to be too much, the lanebreaker is what i go to.

IMO, the 505 will fall inbetween the PM and LB based on what I've seen.

The Lanebreaker has been on my radar for quite some time. I currently own a Playmaker and believe that it will still get me more length then the Lanebreaker once I purchase it. The only reason I would buy a Lanemaker would be the extra power it saves up for the back ends. Might also be able to use the Lanebreaker when the light hits with the Playmaker just are not carrying the corners.

My lanebreaker is cleaner through the fronts than playmaker and has more pop on the backend.I used the same layouts of both balls.I hope this helps.
