Talk about throwing pins around. I dont think I've ever seen a ball hit and tear through the pocket as hard as that ball. Impressive to watch. Gotta start saving up.

Wikked video.  Looks very similar to what I'm getting from my U-solid.

Great video and awesome music!!!!!!!!!!!! To me the best representation of the go long and flip capabilities of this were the shots from the inside from what appeared to be around the 4th arrow. You could see that pink thunb slug begin to turn and then simply flip over and the ball made a left hand turn through the pocket..........

Wow ... this ball looks amazing.

Anyone know when it's supposed to be released?  Definately looking to try my first lane1 ball after seeing that video!

I have never thrown a lane 1 ball but this one just might be what I am looking for.  I might have to try it.

Gotta say....would LOVE to see this ball in video in comparison to a couple of other Lane#1's to get a better idea of its motion.  Sure it rolls great in the video(not like they are going to show it rolling like puke), but would REALLY be helpful to see it on the same lanes, at the same time against one or two other current Saws to get a better understanding of its true lane condition coverage.  Does that make sense?  Not knocking the ball or the video, just providing some (hopefully) constructive criticism.  If I were pushing my latest ball, I would certainly make sure it was being compared in real time to some other known quantity in my line.

I don't see the big backend flip that they are talking about.  I see length with a smooth reaction off the break.  Balls looks awesome, rolls very nice, and hits great in the videos.  I could see this one being a winner from Lane #1.

Hate to say this guys, but whop-de-doo. Seems L1 is getting into the same ball 'ho mode that everyone else is falling into.

Seems to me, no real renovations here, just more hype.

Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!


I have to agree with this statement.. I have been nothing but disappointed with the last 3 lane 1 releases, lastly the enriched uranium. I had it for 1 week sold it to another user and he had it one week.. It was not as advertised for either one of us.. There where also several other users not happy with it after all the hype.. I am gonna wait and see what people have to say about it before I go and pre-order a $175 ball and know nothing about it other then the hype everyone is coming up with by talking about it. Just my opinion, so sawheads please don't bash me.. LOL..

I agree with Jkiser, I had the Tsunami and the Enriched, and neither one of them fit me at all. With that being said, I also pre-ordered a Cobalt. We'll see how this one turns out.

I have yet to find another ball that rolls and flips on the backend as hard as my green bomb.I think I'll give this one a try to use when the lanes dry up too much for my G.B.
