I started to watch it, but gave up after 50 seconds with no bowling.

It's really easy to fast forward to what you want to see. Besides, patience is a virus.  ;)
 
It's actually a nice video. I thought he was able to play a little more outside than you can normally get on the Nationals pattern, but he's obviously a skilled bowler. The CrankR rolled nice.
 
On a side note, it's good to see some new posts in the Lane#1 forum. I used to be one of Lane#1's biggest cheer leaders on this site. I sold lots of bowlers on purchasing their equipment. I still believe in their offerings, but I just can't justify paying $300+ (before drilling) for any ball. I wish the situation was different.

Why show a ball that isn't even in production anymore? Ball rolls great where can I get one, oh yeah you can't.

So it's suitable to troll the Lane 1 forums, but not Brunswick?

I thank everyone for their comments and I welcome them. I know some folks tend to fall asleep before I start bowling lol I admit I did to. I just try to add a little more info in the video that is tech data and my written review on the ball along with rolling that bad boy. I tend to get impatient too so I can understand that part for you guys and im sorry. I will try to shorten that part up just a tad for ya.

yes I use to be with C300 I was on staff for 1-1/2 years. I dropped my contract per email conversation with Rob Gotchall this summer. This was my decision and they didn't want me to leave but for reasons that are not needed to be expressed on here. I respect Rob and C300 but I decided I needed to move on.

as far as price goes yes they are little higher than some other balls with other brands. however its one person who designs these and then patents the core. with the restraints that storm now has on smaller companies who pour their stuff at 900 G plant. makes it a lot harder to get products out. i  know nothing of the cost for making the product or the amount of mark up. But what I do know is the tech data help you get from Richie to drill your lane#1 to its maximum performance is worth time and effort. cant do that with other companies as a whole with just anyone calling. Im not here to save bowling lol im not a super hero.

What I aim to do is be the best staffer I can be to my ability for lane#1 and Richie and help as many people as I can to become better bowlers.  I hope my videos help folks or at least its entertaining.

oh and by the way i have several cases of lane#1 like the CrankR that are NIB box ready to be shipped. 

If anyone has any questions please feel free to let me know.

thank you guys for watching.

TexasBuzzSaw,  Perhaps some of that data could be put at the end of the video?  I know a lot of people would be interested in that so it should not be removed entirely.
