I won't act like I know a lot about this company because I don't.  I tried out the Cobalt Solid and I must say it is one of the worst bowling balls I have ever used in my life.  I can't use it for anything.  It hooks weak on strikes and can't be used for a spare ball.

CHECK OUT MY FULL REVIEW for details.

I would like to know how this ball ranks among the rest of Lane #1 products.  I bought it pumped up by the song on the website and all the videos with "Lane 1 baby, Lane 1!".  The ball turned out to be a total inconsistent weak hitting dud.  

I have gotten some PM's by others that even agree.  So yeah, I am shocked.  For a company that is notorious for selling very expensive bowling balls, what is up with this ball?  Also, I heard they use Brunswick covers?  Are they another Elite?  

Explain please.

Necro,

I have that same drill on my Hybrid Dirty Bomb but my weight hole is in the thumb positive quadrant. I had heard some people just don't match up with a stacked drilling with a bomb core, mine is not the case. Mine is a BEAST!

But I did make sure my side weight was about a 1/2oz or less (static weight). Not sure what this does for it but it sure rolls sweet. Might want to check yours. Now what is that finish on yours. Looks to be about 800-1000? Since you are pinging ten pins (or corners) I would have to assume it may be burning off too much energy. Might want to take it to about 2000 with no polish first, then if that don't work try 1000 with ruff buff finish.

Sorry I can't help much more than that...

I guess some balls just don't match up with everyone's game, especially if they do not have a layout to compliment their style and lane conditions.

I have two Cobalt Solids and its one of the more versatile balls in my aresenal. Sorry its not working out for you right now. You never know, I've tried new balls and some have never worked out for me the first couple of weeks. I'll end up putting it away in my basement and then I'll pull it out again months down the road and BHAM, GOLD.

Good luck
