Title: Agent Orange
Post by: Steven on October 29, 2008, 10:16:20 AM
OK, I'd like to hear from BuzzJen or other insiders some more information about this new piece. On the surface, I like the idea of a really aggressive pearl. I'm thinking it might be a future replacement for my Enriched Uranium.

Any insights regarding how it fits with the BuzzBomb and BuzzBomb/R would be appreciated.

im no insider more like the guy looking in from the window outside, BUT
imo this AGENT ORANGE is gonna be the nastiest of the bunch
plus the hottest looking.

Steve,

The Agent Orange is going to be our most destructive pearl yet. With this sanded 500 grit bad boy polished it will go longer through the mids and rip harder on the back than the BuzzBOMB/R. Plus she's one heck of a looker with her Orange/Black shell color.


Thanks for your inquiry, any more questions let me know!

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but when Storm released the original Agent with a citrus scent (that they didn't even call "orange" at all), there was a major fuss about the scent being called "Agent Orange" when that wasn't even true.

Now Lane 1 is releasing a ball called Agent Orange and no one seems to care?  Seems odd to me.

I am getting the agent orange to fill my my lane 1# balls. Then to get rid of my spare ball will be the buzzsaw when it comes out. That ball will be my spare ball. so my arsenal will be buzzbomb buzzbomb/r agent orange spare ball buzzsaw. so if agent orange is coming out in 2-3wks then the buzzsaw should follow soon I hope.

i just thought it was strange to release 2 back to back w/ the same cover
BB/r and AO
but what do i know
i do think the combination of the 2 will be awesome
maybe throw in a THS for in between and ur set

The AO cover is substantially stronger than the Buzzbomb/R. Won't be as long as the Buzzbomb/R even when shined.

The presale price is the same...

$178 shipped

Any questions????

shelley: What should seem odd to you is that a ball name should cause any fuss at all.

To everyone else: Thanks for the additional information -- keep it coming. I'm very pleased with my BuzzBomb, so the pearl Agent Orange should give me options on conditions where the BuzzBomb is just too much.

I agree.  I thought it was ridiculous when the Agent came out, folks mistakenly thought the smell was called "Agent Orange", and they got upset about it.  A name is just a name.  Just wonderin' why there wasn't a fuss this time around, too.

I'd guess since Vietnam Vets of which I am one.......the bowling majority have no interest in what Agent Orange is all about.  Or Lane #1 is unknowing...I would hope not but who knows?  Richie?

For those that would like a lil read.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange

I am one of those that who was exposed to 2-4-D...a name for a ball could have been better thought out but oh well....maybe some that make these decisions don't have where with all or don't have the attorney base.

I won't lie awake thinking about Lane #1's balls.  I did own a Purple Buzzsaw great flat lane condition ball.

Same can be really said about the BuzzBomb name itself. The original buzz bombs where V-1 used by the Germans in WW2.  Interesting idea on naming balls.  Too bad that Fatman and Little Boy where used already.
