WHO HAS THE BEST PRICES ON BALLS...
« on: July 30, 2003, 05:59:30 PM »
HIGH COST:
MO-RICH (Notice the word rich in there)
LANE 1: Their Logo is a Diamond....what do you expect.
Brunswick Technology Ventures: The long name justifies the high price.

Who do you feel is most reasonable and unreasonable in way of $$$$ spent

I have tried Lane 1....

Ball rolled down lane.....hooked a bit...hit pins.....and left some sometimes and left none other times....didn't break pins apart...didn't leave skid marks on the lane....didn't cook me dinner or do my laundry....just did what bowling balls tend to do..........for almost a 100 bucks more than my most expensive piece of equipment.  

To me...not worth the added cost........but that is just me.....

I have tried lane 1 before and don't see what all the hype is in there equipment.  I would much rather have a hammer in my hands to be smashing the diamonds apart and save a little cash for the family.  Lame 1 just does not impress me.

Lane 1.......as everyone else said.........too much money, too much hype, not enough performance.  I USED to have an all Lane 1 arsenal and wathced my average drop 10-15 pins.  So I sold all the crap for as best as I could

I find that AZO and Visionary BREAK pins while all my old Lane 1 equipment struggled to carry the back row.  Those manufacturers bowling balls HIT so HARD that carry isn't even suspect.  

Many claim that 16# balls don't carry well because of their structure, I say go out and buy the right 16# ball.

My list of great value balls,
Columbia:Wicked and Wow along with the Game series
Dynothane:Vendetta series
Roto-Grip:Silver Streak line
Storm:Eraser series
Brunswick:Monster line
Track:Hex line
Ebonite:Cat line
Visionary:Gryphon series
The bottom line is with the exception of Morich and Lane 1 a patient bowler can get the best of any manufacturer at reduced prices if they are willing to wait for the reincarnations that are sure to follow.
