Title: Cranberry
Post by: JS on September 16, 2003, 03:09:26 AM

Anyone get to throw one of these yet?  Any initial comments?

Anyone know where this fits in with the Lane 1 arsenal?  I was talking to a Lane 1 rep (Tim W. aka Mr. 890) last night and he said he felt it started up sooner than the Cherry Bomb with a more "arc-y" backend.  Sounds like it may be more like the Black Cherry in the mid lane but with more of a controlled backend.  I thought that the raised mini diamond would give the Cranberry a lot of length with a bigger turn on the back.  It's hard to gauge from Tim's equipment because he has a much stronger, smoother release than I do and he plays on the "wrong" (left) side of the lanes .  Take care....JS

the ball goes long but with a controlled back end--i drilled mine 4 x 4 and not that impressed with the back end reaction--the lanes were oily though and i'll test it on a drier condition.i usually use a 5 x 4 drilling and may re plug and try the cranberry with that set up.great looking ball!
