OK, I heard back from Lane 1, and they suggested the Chainsaw Massacre. The numbers are close, so it looks like it might be what I want, but has anyone thrown it yet? If so, what's it like?

i just punched mine last night, long and very angular on the back, great length and very pronounced move on the back, drilled it 45 x 5" by 50 resulted in pin in bridge, cg out slightly. loved the look on the lane and the move it makes, i dont think it is as snappy as the SD but is close

Thanks Trig. That layout is very close to my old Silver and is what I'm going to use on this beast when I get one. The only difference in layout is I intend to put the CG on the line from pin to PAP, midway between. This sounds exactly like what I want.

just drilled the Chainsaw Massacre pin above bridge cg at 70 degrees with weight hole ball gets dowm lane nice and has strong roll and kick off the breakpoint. ball carried a few hits that I didnt deserve but thats to be expected on the ths. Overall so far so good.

I havent seen any reading on the massacare, is it a pearlized version of the chainsaw, or different core?
-
What is the difference between the Dirty Bomb Core used in the Solid Cobalt and the core used in the new Chainsaw Massacare? On the pictures of the outside of the 2 cores, they look the same to me, but have different names.

From the graphics I've seen the old core appears to be bigger and had the little diamond nugget in the center of the core. The Massacre core looks smaller and has no central nugget.

Save money and buy an Emerlad Vibe. My buddy has both and we can't see a difference worth mentioning.

Excuse me sir? I made an honest statement on how i feel about the Massacre and this? I've promoted the massacre more than Lane #1 and i believe it's the best ball they've made this year... Larry i hope you have a great night and congratulations on your 700 with the massacre and i'm sure there's more to come... keep us posted, God Bless!

Setting here at the Sahara in Las Vegas waiting to bowl team event at 2:30pm. Will be using my Massacre. It's drilled 5 x 3 the CG kicked out 2". I when to the Cashman Center yesterday morning and watched 2 sets of singles & doubles (12 games). Every person that shot good in the area I was at (lanes 55 - 60)
was use using a break point at 9-8 boards whit a polished ball. Don't know where the teams shot. Guess I'll find out at 2:30pm. My game plan today is start off with my new Virtual Gravity (needed a asymmetrical ball) followed up by my Massacre. Will let you know what happens.

I always have my BTM around the 22nd at the latest, but haven't received this month's issue yet. We moved and even though I sent in an address change last month by Email, that may still be why I haven't received it yet.

of course i must be ignorant as the only claims i have seen in print from lane 1 are these
Lane #1 is pleased to introduce the new Chainsaw Massacre. This pin slaughtering machine is covered by our popular pearl Bleeder Coverstock and driven by our famous bomb shape MassaCore. The Chainsaw Massacre bites down hard, butchering medium oiled lanes. Watch this ball carve through the pins, turning them into sawdust for a massacre of high scores..!!
looks like typical marketing with some discriptive adjectives. Having throw it, it is a very hard charging, big direction turning, hard hitting ball on medium conditions, I have enough hand to throw it on heavier stuff, but i wont tout it for that since it is intended for the medium stuff.
now if there are other claims, i havent seen those yet

I guess what BTM review of the ball suggests that it's nothing to write home Mom about and the the Sawheads are really the only one in love with it.
Seems they weren't that impressed, that's all..
--------------------
Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!

It's quite obvious why. This is not ball of the year. You can only go downhill from ball of the year, until next year.

pretty decent looking review to me. BTM states pretty much what lane 1 says great ball for med condtions for all styles, BTM rates stroker/tweener/cranker on med oil as 8.5/9/9 those are very respectable numbers on a 1-10 scale
their overall quote
the Chainsaw Massacre ia all about the breakpoint. Those looking for a ball that gets down the lane with ease ans saves almost everythiing for the breakpoint and backend will really like this one
not sure what part of this says they "didnt" like the ball. The didnt like it on longer or sport shots, but the ball wasnt made for that, no ball that is long by nature or snappy is made for sport shots
on edit lane #1 ad states pretty much the same numbers, lower rg, 4" flare, they dont agree with hook rating or backend hook (although having thrown the ball for me those numbers are pretty darn close)

Those are respectable numbers, just not the jaw-dropping ball that everyone at lane#1 says it is including those in this forum.
That's all.
It's just another ball that goes long and turns hard. Evey ball company has one of these..

Motto: We have more balls than you!!

so true but every other ball company also puts the same claim on their stuff as far as hook rating and backend, but we dont see them being called out, and in this case lane #1 was pretty spot on with their assesment and for whatever reason gets called out
for me the Chainsaw massacre opens a new chapter for lane 1 or at leasts revisits one the pearl cherry bomb to me didnt get the length of this ball, nor has most of the other lane 1 stuff, they have always been very midlanish and lacked that true skid snap look, from my early observations they accomplished that with this one

Ill give you that, I am not one of those to make those claims unless that ball does something special for me, the last 4 releases from lane 1 have given me something different then balls from the past
