I own a cobalt bomb. Strong hit and good pin carry. I like it more than my carbide plus. There are many Lane#1 stuffs with the same name--bomb, eg. hybrid dirty bomb, black cherry bomb. I would like to buy another lane#1 ball with strong flip and hit just as cobalt bomb and can grab more oil. Are bomb series all have the strong power? Please give me some suggestions

All Lane #1 balls have a high COR. I've thrown many of Lane #1's pieces over the last few years and by far my favorite line is the BOMB line. If you're looking for strong flip, but still capable of handling some oil...an Enriched might not be a bad investment. My EU handles quite a bit of oil with minimal "squirt". The other recommendation would be a Black Cherry Bomb with just a touch of surface adjustment.

Go with the Hybrid DB, as the SCB is not very flippy. The HDB should give you the desired reaction, and will handle more oil than the Cobalt.

Black Cherry Bomb gets my vote for your scenario. The Enriched is all skid flip...it has to have some sort of dry to bounce. The BCB has the ability to soak up more oil in the mids.

Where do people keep coming up with these claims??? First Lanemasters, now Lane#1. Show me the numbers please.

I saw a young lefthander throwing a Cherry (not Black Cherry) Bomb yesterday. Not much snap, but had a very good look with it. Also one of the proshop guys has one of the Hybrids. A little more pop at the back end than the Cherry, but not what I'd call real flippy.

Strider,

I saw it in writing somewhere. Let me see what I can find for you.

Why is that? The backend for a Hybrid Dirty Bomb is 80% while the Cherry Bomb is 70%. Lane#1 indicates the HDB should have more backend than the CB. If the lanes were flooded, neither would snap. Why does everyone think there must be a flood if their balls don't hook normal?

So I guess you need to email Lane#1 and tell them that their ball reactions are wrong.

Plus I was throwing everything from a Slate Blue Gargoyle to a Havoc. If the right side didn't have any carrydown (pearl urethane will skate on any carrydown), I know the left side didn't. Come to think of it, I threw about half a game lefthanded (free practice league). No carrydown.

ok i will try to talk slow so you understand strider, have you ever thrown a cherry bomb and a hdb. i have had both. the hdb hooks more and does have some backend, but the cherry bomb that i had and basically everyone else that ive seen had went 50 feet then bam it started a quick move to the pocket. now that quick move with the extra 20 percent hitting power the saws have, lol sorry, make the ball to me seem like it has more backend, but i know what lane 1 says too so i can see why someone like you would be confused, a few words for you to chew on now, before you can say somethings wrong you have to prove it wrong its not up for people to prove stuff to you, if you dont agree with something you have to prove it wrong. now im done and go hawkeyes

I don't wanna get in the middle of this strider is a good friend of mine as is lane1bowler all I will say is the pearl cherry bomb has more backend for me hands down than any ball i have ever thrown lane#1 or otherwise. The only thing that comes close to it now is a cobalt bomb drilled label lev. which was how my cherry bomb was drilled also.

OK screw this. My opinion doesn't matter.

I know how to read lanes and ball reactions. I can only tell what I saw. Unlike some, I was trying to be helpful instead of insulting. What in the world do I have to PROVE??? I didn't say anything that has to be proven or disproven. If that's the case, prove Lane#1's extra 20% hitting power. I KNOW you can't do that. Someone asked for opinions and I gave mine. If you don't agree, fine. Tell the poster what he wants to know, but don't treat me like a child, especially with that giant run on paragraph you typed.

Why don't people simply reply to the post when the original information is requested instead of coming out after the fact to tell someone else that they are wrong?

The bomb cores are a lot stronger then the C/2 cores, The carbide plus with the c/2's give a more controllable backend reaction then a skid snap or flip reaction, Plus its a mild particle and will give you more of a arcing motion to the pocket but are more effective on longer and not as clean backends.

For a Hybrid to hook more on the backend than the Cherry Bomb, there will have to be heavier amounts of oil on the lane and/or longer down the lane. On shorter patterns and less volumes, the Cherry Bomb will have a bigger blast on the backend. =:^D
