Looking for something that gets decent length and is more angular than my Brunswick stuff. I'd like to try either Lane#1 or Storm. I'm not looking for any lane conditions in particular. I realize this request is a little vague, but what would you recommend for someone thinking about trying Lane#1.

Right there are several Lane#1 retailers like myself that are offering some killer deals on some Lane#1 balls Like the Supernova XP, BuzzBomb/R and G-Force Evolution. You might want to look into them.

I swithced to Brunswick after throwing Storm and Lane#1 for a number of years. I got away from the more angular equipment because I always had enough hand and Brunswick was always more rolly and was easier for me to keep playable. Now that I am getting older and through a few finger injuries I could use a little more help on the back of the lane. I would like something that would remind me of a Bolt, Thunder Road Pearl, El Nino Wrath category of a few years ago on today's condidtions.

Zeus, I was thinking about the Buzzbomb/R, but I've been out of bowling for a little while and don't know enough right now to make an educated guess.
Of the three I think the BuzzBomb/R has the strongest backend. The Supernova XP will hook a little sooner and a little less aggressive on the backend. The Evolution IMO went long and had a nice backend but not as strong as the BuzzBomb/R.

My top two companies are Lane #1 and Storm.
I have yet to throw the Buzzbomb/R. However, I have thrown a Supernova XP and it's as angular as just about any Storm ball out there for me. I think the key there is to stick with the balls that were made post-900Global (which includes the XP and Buzzbomb/R, but not the Evolution, which was Columbia-poured. My Evo is not nearly as angular as my XP).
If you go for Storm, you have more options as far as raw angularity is concerned, IMO. The T-Road Pearl, most of the pearl balls in the Fire series (Rapid Fire Pearl, Spit Fire, Sure Fire) and the pearls in the Shift/Gravity line will all do the trick. You can also get some nice deals on Thunderstruck Pearls, which are hitting the closeout racks.
I think you'll be OK either way you go. I typically find my Lane #1 gear to be a bit more consistent and controllable, while the Storm gear is more angular. Carry is great with both but a little better for my style with Lane #1.

all L1 bias aside
how does the Agent Orange compare to the BB/r
i dont personally know, but i would think the AO is more angular than the BB/r
jmo
XP is plenty strong for me
one of my favs, and i agree EVO would not fit the bill 4 u
