I have my hybrid at 2k right now very controlable and with the 5 x 4 drilling saves energy for the backend like a dirty bomb but easier to line up and less sensitive to oil.

Is this true?

Yes, Hybrid is better in oil than Dirty Bomb. But still not a true heavy oil ball.

the videos are a lil bit decieving in the fact that it is true that you can make any ball look great. there was obviously editing used in the videos, and nobody xcept the maker of the vids knows how many shots he took before he had enought explosive strikes to make a video. every ball has the potential to hit like a truck and have the crazy strikes, you just have to match up the right ball to the condition.

i like lane 1, so that is what i use. im sure that i could use something else and get similar results, but i believe in the diamond core and the results the ball/me has generated. i have tweaked other brands to try to get a similar reaction to what i get /w my lane 1 stuff, but i dont feel i get as many lucky strikes. in regards to the balls being legit, it is not like lane 1 gurantees a strike on every shot...its just a bowling ball. if you throw it good you might/might not get a strike, same as any other bowling ball. personally, i have used a lot of different equipment and feel that i get more lucky strikes with lane 1 than i do with other equipment. on the other hand i have seen other people use lane 1 with terrible results and who are better suited with other brands. selection of bowling balls is a personal thing, just cuz someone you know/see is using a certain ball and scoring doesnt mean you are going to do the same.

Post by: jkiser01 on February 21, 2005, 10:21:55 PM: I love the Hybrid Dirty bomb. The last 2 sets in league have been 731 and 751 with a 290 game tonight. I have it drilled stacked with the pin above and to the right of the ring and the cg in the palm area with no weight hole. I have heard some people say this drilling is not good for Lane #1 balls, but its worked so far for me. The ball is very controllable with this drill, which is what I wanted. It has worked well on several different lane conditions with very minor adjustments.. The carry on this ball is very good as with most Lane #1 balls..

I have tried several of the older and newer Lane #1 balls and this one is by far my favorite.. It matches up well with my bowling style and thats what ist all about in my opinion. Some people love Lane #1 stuff and some people don't..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)
