Ball is just off the charts in all out hook.

Drilled mine 4 7/8 x 3 1/8.
Pin pretty much center of grip and under bridge, cg obviously swung out.

Hole in the thumb quadrant about 2 1/4 " away from PAP.

If I ever came up against heavy oil in the past, I would use my Apex Aggresion, well not anymore.

This ball puts all others to shame in overall hook, and carry.

Tried it in my home house, on easy 10- 10 conditions-

Couldnt do much unless I stood way right, (LH'er)
Wasnt at its best here but was playable with a deep inside angle, carried better the deeper I went.

Used it tonight for the 1st time in what is a sport type shot but not advertised as such, ( very tough)

Have been struggling in this house all year, 205+ about 25 lower than anywhere else.
This is where it came to life , usually 10 and out is OB, not anymore with the SCB.  

I could play it inside and swing it out as far as I wanted/no problem coming back.

Ball just keeps on coming and no roll out. Carries exceptionally well also.

Shot 716, which may not sound like much but at this house and these conditions, it is a ton, (Won many brackets and pots with it 1st time out.)

Very happy so far

Pretty much the biggest hooker I have seen so far, with the carry to go right along with it.

I guess I have an Aggression for sale now, no need for it anymore.

I do have these and all BUZZSAWS in stock as always, and disc. ones as well.

Just just shot 279-278-243-800 in the Ball reviews Tourney with my Super Carbide Bomb. Ball was drilled 4.5 x 3 with a 7/8 x-hole 2 inches deep. Ball weighs out at 3/8 positive side. I also hit this ball with Ebonite Particle Polish (Their Polish works great but their particle balls are crap)and then with Ultimate Black Magic. I was playing 5th arrow from the start and got even deeper the 3rd game after leaving a greek church in the 7th frame. Had to punch for 800 even and did it after I moved even deeper. Ball still recovered enough to kick out the 10's from that deep. This ball is a definate winner. Later Beans

I have had this ball for about 3 weeks and I finally put enough games on it in a variety of conditions to give this ball a review.  Ball is drilled with the pin next to the ring finger, cg kicked out a little, small weight hole on my val, ball wound up with about 7/8 side weight, and 1/2 fingers.  As previously mentioned in numerous posts about this ball, it has a lot of flare.  About 8" or more.  This could either be a bad thing (ball burns out in no oil), or as the ball is designed a very good thing in oil.  Do not overthrow this ball (speed) in oil as any ball will skid in a flood.  Ball out hooks  everything I have by at least 10 boards (lane 1 lrg drilled max leverage, etc), and has a very good backend.  Just remember to put it away when the lanes are dry.

On tuesday, I tried to use this ball in one of my leagues, wood house, they set the house up for crankers, almost a reverse block.  Had to put the ball away after 4 frames, two of them splits.  Wound up shooting junk (477) for the night.  Decided to polish the cover, as others that have posted, and give it a whirl.  Threw it last night (Wednesday) immediately after polishing it with Storm Extras, shot a 700 with it.  Not bad considering I'm about 10 pins down on average in this house.  Ball carried almost everything in the pocket, 2 tens, a 8 and a 9 all night.  I am going to get another and keep one dull, one polished.  Ball hits, and hits and hits

WOW what a ball! ball came in w/ 3 2/3 top and a 3 3/4 pin. applied my fav. drill pattern of 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 w/ the 3 3/4 above my grip ctr. over the ring fngr. w/ a wght hole on my val 1 3/4 in down from my pap. trying throwing this puppy out of box finish{35 micron} FORGET ABOUT IT! DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OIL AROUND HERE TO USE IT LIKE THAT! used a 10 micron, then 5 micron trizat on it and now were talking thru the heads{ as long as you have some oil in the heads} this ball is designed for oil and it eats it up.still can't use on wood, great on oily plastic and then i haven't been able to use for all 3 gms. i have shot 267 and a 279 in the 2 wks i've had it but haven't made the right moves to shoot a big set w/ it yet and not sure you can use it for all 3 gms. for an avg rev player i get amazing hit and carry w/ it everyone else is trying to get their back to the pocket. a+ rating on oil, but you have to know when to put back in the bag.

This is my third Lane#1 ball, having previously bought the LRG and the Purple Pro.  This is by far the strongest back end move of any ball i have ever thrown.

I am a righty and I have above average speed, medium revs and a low track due to the large size of my hands which exaggerates a natural side rotation on release.

TECH STUFF:
Pin is just to the right and below the ring finger, putting the pap about 4 inches from the ring finger and the drilling is a basic leverage with a balance hole on the VAL above the grip center.

RAVE:
First thing you notice is the flare.  Many pronounced rings, placed wide apart.  The move is pronounced and strong, allowing me to shoot out through third arrow from deep when others are struggling to turn the corner from second arrow.  Have only had it roll out once or twice and then you just move a bit deeper onto the fresher oil and away she goes again.  Have used this ball on a medium wet crowned condition, a drier crowned condition and a flat condition with serious carry down.  I was able to use this ball on all these conditions with success, although the dry condition meant a very deep shot with speed to control the jump to the pins.

OVERALL:
First out of the bag, no doubts.  Expect my average to go from 197 to low 200s.
Ball looks ugly by the end of a set with lines all over the dull surface due to the ball returns etc.  A quick clean at the end of EVERY set and the ball looks a million bucks again.  Pity no-one stocks Lane#1 here in Australia, this one like the others came by plane making it expensive, but definitely worth the money.

This ball was my first Lane 1 product, and I have to say that I was not impressed. The big thing that I'd always heard about Lane 1 was the hit. Some people claimed that these balls hit so hard that people would snap their heads around to see what caused it. The SCB did hit hard, but, as is the case with most things, it did not live up to all of the hype. In box condition this ball was like any other high-load particle. It rolled very early and gave little to nothing on the backend. It performed fairly well on a heavy-oil tournament shot, but not spectacular. After realizing that my $230 ball was never going to see use in box condition, I polished the lights out of it to see if it could be used on heavier mediums. The ball was a bit over/under with this finish, but it did liven up the backend significantly and allow me to use it more often. I suppose if you see oil spills on a regular basis this ball can be good. However, I doubt that most bowlers will see that much juice on a regular basis. Lane 1 was definitely on the right track when they took the core out of this one and combined it with the pearl reactive cover of the Cherry Bomb, thus, making it much more useable. Not a bad ball, just too strong for 95% of the conditions that bowlers will face on a regular basis. However, on the rare occasion when that condition presents itself, it's a winner. 8.5 out of 10.

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

I picked this ball up used from a fellow ball reviews member.  The ball has been plugged once and fully resurfaced to factory specs using a HAUS.

Ball came with a 2" pin and medium top weight.  I drilled this ball stacked leverage, cg 2" over from the center of grip and pin directly above.  This gives about a 3.4 X 3 layout.  A small weight hole was placed on the mid line approx 1/2 way between cg and VAL.  

The out of the box surface on this ball is incredibly strong.  Unless the lane machine was broken and put out quadruple oil, I can't see how anyone could possibly throw this beast.  One a normal heavier oil house shot, this ball just burnt up 25' down the lane.  AS a result, the hit and carry were less than desirable.

Went back to the pro-shop and hit this ball with polish.  Started with Ebonite particle polish to give a gloss.  Then applied some factory finish polish, then a final coat of extender polish.  This gave the ball a nice glossy coat and overall a better appearance.

Went back out on the lanes and the SCB acted like a different ball.  The ball cleared the heads, made a very strong move in the mid-lane and crushed the rack.  The hit and power of this ball is superb.  Flare on this ball is unreal...  6" to 8".  Threw about a 15 frames playing the same line (15 to , then noticed the hit and carry starting to go away.  After watching a couple additional shots more closely, I noticed this ball starting to burn up a little early again.  It never jumped and went high, but the hit and carry started to leave.  I moved my feet 5 boards left and target 3 left and right back to the previous super hit and carry.  

This is an amazing ball for heavy oil, but that is just it.  You need heavy oil.  There must be a lot of oil up front to get this hook monster down the lane without expending too much energy.  If it does, the hit and carry suffer.  If you can keep moving to stay in the oil, this ball is phenomenal...  

I would recommend this ball for anyone who has trouble overcoming heavy oil conditions.  This ball will give you the power to cut through the oil and HIT.  But, you have to be very observant of the ball reaction and know when to start moving, otherwise you will end up with weaker hits and possibly corner pins.  This ball is definitely a heavy oiler.... with only the very high speed players being able to make it work on anything less.    Overall, first out of the bag for heavy oil conditions.
