XXL Review?
« on: August 26, 2003, 09:25:58 AM »
Has anyone thrown the XXL on dry lanes?  If so, does it perform well on dry lanes as advertised?
You will not see me on the PBA Tour, but I love the game!!!

What's more important is that you are making a judgement here without experiencing both.


I've read through this thread twice now, not once have I made a judgement on the XXL. I've simply asked why spend the extra money & buy this new ball when so many older 2 piece pearl urethanes are available. I've actually said that I WONT pass judgement & compare them until I've seen it.

Clump says now that it's a new pearlized urethane formulation in the coverstock. That's the very first time anyone has given reasoning as to why it might actually be better. Maybe a bit more info as to WHY the new formulation works better would help too. (more porous? softer? etc.)

And our product proves itself on them lanes. That will generate sales.


Then you better get more people here in WI with your equipment, because no one is proving anything on the lanes around here with your stuff. With no way of getting a hold of your stuff, & no way to watch someone using it, all there is to base a purchase on is anecdote & theory. I can tell a great story about why something is better, but I prefer to work with real things like numbers, measurements & logic before I put hard earned cash on it.

I've got it on good word that clump is a worth while basis on knowledge on lane#1 products, so why the act? I just don't know why lane#1 doesn't see how a good representative like Mustang Guy or New Guy could improve sales. Honestly they are the reason a Roto Grip or Dynothane will probably be my next new ball purchase. It's a shame that the best Lane#1 can do for representation here is this ridiculous slack jawed yokel & a bunch of fanboys, but that's a different issue entirely. Sorry for the hijack.

BJ, I'm sure if you e-mail Lane 1 with a question, they will answer it promptly. Is that so difficult to do, if you want information or are looking for answers from them..? =:^D

Nope, not hard at all, but considering the other 2 smaller companies & 2 larger companies have reps who are active members in our community, why wouldn't I go to them first?

Bj, I agree with you. Stick to your other companies.....until someone who knows how to throw a Buzzsaw kicks your gluteus maximus. Then you'll get on the Buzzsaw bus too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
