It cost too much to produce cores on a whim...they will come out with something new when they sell enough of the already produced ones..

I see lane 1 fading to be honest...theres one guy left (in all of my leagues) that I know of that still throws em...however there are a few guys out of town that are fans...

I'm interested. I like my Lane #1 ball; they're totally worth trying.

I shot several honor scores with em in the past, got rid of all but one. Don't throw this one much.

When I hear people complaining about Lane #1 reusing cores and covers, I wonder what they think of Storm and Hammer.

At least Storm and Hammer haven't been making the same non-factual claims about the cores they reuse for the last umpteen years.


Quote pulled from Lane#1's "About" section on their website - "By eliminating wasted material, this dynamically shaped weight block rotates faster and longer, creating 20% more energy than any other shape"

What a load of bull pucky...

Yeah, Lane #1 needs to update their website, for one.
Yet, Storm will change the colors and names of the 2Fast and 2Furious to Fringe and Manic and people buy it like it's a new ball.
Hammer's Jet Black Taboo is barely different than the original Widow.

The sad thing is... that IS up to date.  Sposato has been called out on it numerous times and recently seems to insist that the sophisticated computer modeling showing his claims are flawed is even wrong.
