I love my Lane 1 but....
« on: January 12, 2004, 12:16:18 PM »
I went to practice last week and was trying out each ball I have.  The lanes had the leftovers of the previous nights sport shot.  I got to my Pearl Carbide Bomd and the first shot leaves the sour apple or lily.  

I had to laugh, in 24 years of bowling I had never got the lily or sour apple.  In the past 6 months I have managed to find it 3 times.  To add to the humor, all 3 times it was with Lane 1 equipment.  Twice with the Viper, and now I have 1 with the Pearl Carbide Bomb.

Before anyone starts accusing me of bashing Lane#1, I really like both balls.  I just find it amusing and would be fun to share.

Neither of those balls are real good carrydown balls. I suppose the Pearl carbide bomb is better with tight backs, but they are not designed for that. Any ball can leave the sour apple.

I don't know.  I've only left the 5-7-10 twice in my life, and they were on back to back nights with an Emerald.  I left the 7-10 for the first time in about two months tonight with a Cranberry.  They hit hard, but when they leave junk, it's NASTY.

Speaking of the sour apple. My son picked it up earlier this season. He also left a 6-7-8-9-10. And picked it up!!! The miracles of a six pound Hulk ball and bumpers.

The first one my coach actually saw it.  He was kind enough not to laugh, and told me the ball had rolled out.  Only one was in actual league competition, the one my coach witnessed.  One was in warm up before league started, and the last one as indicated, in practice.

According to my coach, it is generally the result of the ball rolling out, using up its energy getting down the lane.

At CA State, they give an award for leaving the sour apple.  Our local association gives an award for converting it.

SS no offense taken!  

I just thought it was kind of funny leaving it 3 times and only with the Lane#1 equipment.
