I'm with Beans on this it's a matter of fact I will be leaving this site for good what a waste. We've got one idiot after another all hiding behind a desk. I'll take a shot over at BBE and see if it's any better.

Can't wait to see what CRD has to say about this. All these reviews being based on the ball being a 4000 oob finish, when it is a 1000 oob finish. Come on now guys, you can be blind in one eye and not see out the other to know the difference between a 1000 oob and a 4000 oob. Makes you wonder. I hope CRD sees this and comes on. Lot of reruns on TV tonite.

I will be ready surprise if this is true...In my opinion, if there is really a mis-print then the least that they should do is to post it in their officsl website to inform their customers or loyal Lane#1 Users about it.

sammy: Is your thing watching trolling in action? Is that's why you're so anxious to hear what CRD has to say about this? The man who doesn't need a core and appears to be confused about coverstocks? Please, go look for another freak show.

Who cares if it's advertised as 4000 or 1000 OOB? If you're interested in the ball, you're buying it because it's an aggressive heavy oiler. If there is confusion about any aspect of the ball, as always, call Lane#1 for input. That should be the standard approach, with any company, before making initial changes to the cover. I saw one in action last night, and it's very aggressive. If it's too aggressive for your own tastes, you play with different grits/polishes to fine tune the reaction you're looking for. Jezz, it's not rocket science. Stop trying to make an issue there isn't one.

Then if its 1000 abralon OOB then why does Lane #1 have it at 4000 on the site??

Hi Steven, I don't agree with you here, we are located in Asia and we replie on information given by the Bowling company and get most of the other information from bowling forums. If Bowling company said the ball comes with 4000 grit finish, we will not doubt it and if we found 4000 grit is not to our style and would need to lower it to 1000 grit, we will just do it. We can't be calling an overseas Bowling company just to confirm that the grit given by the them is correct before we do anything to the ball. In my opinion, it is the responsible of the Bowling company to ensure that information printed is correct and if they find that there is a mis-print, they need to correct it.

This is what I don't understand...how someone who can in general be pretty rational can post something like this. How can you adjust the coverstock properly if you're starting from an erroneous presupposition to begin with?

Now that said, I agree with what someone said somewhere else...if you look at a ball that is supposedly 4000 and can't tell that it's at a significantly lower grit than that (assuming no polish), then you have problems. But a lot of people do not like to alter factory surfaces because it's just never quite the same again...not necessarily better or worse, just different. So if I ordered this ball through my proshop thinking it was 4000 grit and I'm one of the people that is that particular about my coverstocks, I'd be pretty unhappy if the ball arrived at 1000. This, I feel, is a legitimate product complaint for a customer to have.

Wow! Stevie, we may have found a place where you can use your awesome ball sanding skills. Maybe you can get a job repping Lane #1 right at the Global plant and tell all the dedicated Lane #1 employe......errrrr, uh. That's right, there are no Lane #1 employees there that you can teach the proper way to sand a ball to the MARKETED FINISH! Well, that's what happens when you don't manufacture yourself. Do any of the maketing people that Lane #1 is made up of actually touch a ball? If so, you would think they could tell the difference. I suggest they start using the Little Stevie Chart of Ball Finishes. I know it's been a big help to all the part-time teens working as ball sanders in our local shops.

CRD if the company lane #1 and the people that use their bother you so much why not just stick to the brunswick forum? Why give yourself headaches over it?

Holland, excellent post!!!!!!
Sammy, "blind in one eye and can't see out the other" <<< I love it, may I use that line

When I look at the balls on the rack, I certainly can see a difference from a Bounty or Resurgence at 1000K, compared to a Magic or Powerswing at 4000K. Not only by site, but by feel.

Now the point I was trying to make before Trig and his boy toy Steve went postal on me was this, A bowler should be able to get a read on a ball when throwing it. I forget the name of the person who contacted Lane #1 over this matter. But to me, the read he got on this ball while thinking it was a 4000 oob, was off. That is probably why he contacted Lane #1. After being told it was at a 1000K oob, it probably made sence to him as to why the ball reacted the way it did.

Now so many other's posted about using the Dynamo at the 4000K oob finish. And they loved the ball, and Trig said it gave him more recovery then his Oranges at 4000K, Well it should since it was really at 1000K oob.

Now I 'm not saying that there post were wrong or made up!!!!! What I 'm saying is that they got a false read on the ball.

Now if I was to tell my customer, the Dynamo is at a 4000K oob finish, and he bowls with it and it over reacts, the surface adjustment he or I might make may be wrong, since we are basing it on the 4000K oob finish. We may polish the ball. But if the ball is really at 1000k, and we KNEW that, we more then likely would bring it up to a 2000K or a 4000k before polishing it.

So yes, it is a big deal to know EXACTLY where the box finish is at!!!!

just so you know

A very nice coherent post. I agree with this. In fact, just this week I was talking to my driller if there was something higher than 4k before polish, assuming that I was already at 4k. I'm glad I didn't polish the ball and will try a higher grit first.

Steven · « **Reply #59 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:27:47 AM »

sammy/holland: I agree that the factory cover surface should be advertised accurately. Obviously, a mistake was made on the website. I too would rather have the correct info up front.

What I'm saying (and this is just from my perspective) is that it's not going to make or break your experience with the ball. It's advertised as a heavy oiler -- maybe one of the most aggressive Lane#1 ball produced. I don't know personally because I don't have one yet. I'm just going off how Lane#1 is positioning the ball.

Anyway, you're buying the ball because of it's advertised reaction. The starting OOB cover grit should be of little consequence. BTW, on any highly aggressive coverstock, you're going to be playing with the cover every 20-30 games if you want it to last and continue performing. It's a myth that you can keep the newer aggressive ball covers in OOB for long. It's just the nature of current coverstock technology. If you know what you're doing on a spinner, you can keep it very close to factory. In most cases, you can actually do better since you're tuning the cover to your specs instead of depending on a generic OOB finish. For me personally, I'll usually call one of the ball reps just to get their take before taking the cover adjustment plunge. Even when the cover grit is marked correctly, the insights and tips you get from having that conversation are valuable.

CRD: I noticed your extraordinary cut and paste skills going between the Brunswick and Lane#1 forums. Very nice. Who says you can't find redeeming value in even the most dull and ignorant??

You'll live a longer and happier life if you let that anger and chip on your shoulder go. Why do you take such exception to others pointing out areas of improvement? The fact is, you know little about any technical aspects of bowling. That becomes painfully clear anytime I drill into your comments. Just stop the charade, and the bowling forums will be a more tranquil place.

I do see the others who post like you state not in their "home" forum. I was just wondering why create all the crap stirring but if that is what you want to do knock yourself out.
