Debina,
An XXXL is NOT a "stupid plastic ball". Due to the presence of the Lane #1 diamond core, it is a very intelligent plastic ball.

I traded a voodoo for one several months ago. Although I haven't thrown it much, the couple of times that it has been the right ball have impressed me.
I had a condition a while ago where the heads were totally gone - burnt - toasted - char-broiled. I was trying to use my firestorm (old, old resin) around 5th - 6th arrow, and although I could hit the pocket, I could not carry, and was leaving some ugly stuff. After leaving a 5-7-10, I ran out to the car and got the XXXL. I was able to baby it up 10, with just a teeny bit of hook - and it carried light hits incredibly well. Hit high flush, and it was either a 7 or a 10 every time - but the light ones always seemed to go. It may not be a fair representation of the rest of the Lane #1 line, but it can stand on its own very well.
Now - I am NOT a lane #1 groupie. I just recently bought two Lane #1 aggressive balls. One of them (Black Cherry Bomb) is quickly becoming a favorite. The other (Super Carbide Bomb) seems to be way too much ball for me. It will be an extreme flood condition specific ball for several years to come. However - I must say that I really like the way these balls hit. Not well enough to switch everything over to Lane #1, like some BR members have done, but well enough to buy another if the right deal comes up.
