my game can no longer match up with the new Lane
#1 releases. Maybe the time has come for me to say
sayonara to Lane #1.

starting from the Super Nova XP. However, I still
love some of the old Lane #1s with Brunswick
coverstocks.

I have the solid G-Force and the Super Nova solid,
still like both of them. Like you, Brick, I
will not buy future Lane #1 releases, fearing it
will only end up a wasting my hard earned cash.

Bowlingmsy, this ball is not a hook monster or a big backend monster. The XP wasn't advertised to be a big hook or backend monster either. Maybe that's what you need..?
If you like the SuperNova, you should love the BuzzBOMB. If you're looking for pure power on the backend, the pearl version will knock your socks off. =:^D

I had the opposite results with the XP/BuzzBomb.
I used to just buy the latest, most aggressive balls from L1 until this summer. I picked up the XXXL, XP and BuzzBomb to have an actual arsenal for dry to soaked and all three balls have done exactly what I bought them for.
I have a spinner at home though, so making surface adjustments when I want is a huge plus.

So far so good, Am I strictly Lane 1, NO. I like trying other companies and have a cell, and 900 Creature on its way to my door as we speak. But as of now I can see myself getting future releases, but the THS does not intrigue me

The mismatch begins with the Super Nova XP.
Wow. The Supernova XP is probably my favorite Saw right now. I'm using it on Scorpion in my PBA Experience league, and I've averaged 226 with it over the past 8 games.
The XP is smooth and doesn't overreact with transition from oil to dry. The cover is holding up very well -- no 'death' issues in the 4 months I've owned it. What's not to like?

They both rolled exceptionally well for me but I have a mental problem watching balls with a really dark color mixed with a really bright color. Again, it is a mental thing and I have trouble reading those colored balls properly. It is the same reason I use strictly clear and black grips and slugs in all my equipment. If every ball was black with dark logo's I would be in heaven.
Just my stupid brain at work I guess.

I have thrown my THS for a few games and it's pretty good but our house shot has a bit more oil than most. Over the summer here they oil them up pretty good so they can get away with not oiling everyday.

He is new to lane#1 and loves them both!!! A ton! He is tearing our local lanes up with them.....
I have also seen on I believe videoball reviews Chris of Buddies throwing the THS and he makes it look fantastic. i believe it is a lower flaring ball and to me looks like it could be something great for a strong wet dry top hat!
Surprised to hear all the complaints above.
REgards,

what did you think of the old columbia stuff (boss, as well as others)?
I only ask as these new balls are all superflex based, and back in the day the superflex cover was as revered as the powercoil stuff
Personally I have had great sucess with all of the lane #1 stuff, shot literally tons of 279 games with big b covered stuff, but the new stuff gave me two 300 games this year (supernova xp)4 289 games (buzzbomb) and several other 279 games. I find them to roll as well as the big b covered stuff, and other then the buzzbomb find the covers to be very tough (BB scratched fairly easy for my tastes but I am sure it has to do with the dullish finish on it)
Currently in my PBAX league the liberator is the ball of choice, the Teal will be going in the bag as soon as I have some extra cash
