Enriched Uranium Continues to Rock
« on: December 14, 2006, 03:10:38 PM »
As several of you people know, I decided to try a Lane 1 ball. After several communications with Triggerman, it was decided to start me on the Enriched Uranium and go from there. After discussing the drilling of this ball with Triggerman as well as a few other Saw users, I opted for the drilling of
4 1/4 x 3 1/2 with Pin under RF. Ball ended with almost 1 full oz side weight, so I left it there and didn't put a weight hole in it.

This ball thus far has been a monster. So far I have used it in leagues 5 times plus one game in another league of which the lanes were too dry for it and I had to switch to another ball. My series have been 619-631-650-620-583. The 583 is the lowest series so far and was shot today. The lanes were a bit too dry for this ball today unless you can move left and throw right a bit of which isn't my game. However, I love this ball so much that I just couldn't make myself put it up, so I tried moving left a bit and throwing right and did manage the 583. I've never had a ball that I could do this with before.

I know those scores aren't great for some of you high average bowlers, but if you have seen me bowl the last 3 years with my average going down a few pins every year, you would understand my excitement about this ball.

All I can say is WOW! about this ball. This ball is a monster. When it makes it's move, it moves strongly and continues strongly thru the pin deck. You can rest assured my next ball will be a Lane 1 also. It will probably be a ball for this house with the drier lanes that I had to move left and swing it out some today as that is not my best game to do that.

Congrats Brick, and great bowling!  The Uranium core is my favorite of all the Lane #1 cores.  Simple yet effective.  Glad to hear you are having some success, especially with the Enriched Uranium.

Brick, that's great bowling..btw you bowled the down and in shot with this ball ? Which is your target arrow ? The reason why I am asking is because I too have this ball but so far am getting mixed results from it. Have yet to try the down and in shot with it though..thanks.

DC, my best and really about my only line(s) is in my profile. Yesterday I was able to move left and stand on 25 throwing over 15 out to 8-10 and the ball came strongly back to the pocket which was a first for me. In the past when I tried this with other balls, with my slower revs and speed, the ball would hardley ever make it back and even if it accidently did, it would hit dead.


On the Pro Anvil Synthetic Lanes that were installed in one house 1 1/2 years ago, I can pretty much play in the area of my favored line, but in the wood house I was in yesterday I couldn't. Couldn't last week either and I put it up after one game, but yesterday I decided what the "H", I'll try it for a shot or two and to my surprise it worked whereas no ball has done this for me before. I was amazed at the strength and energy this ball came back to the pocket with.

For me this ball really gets thru the heads extremely well and when it sniffs a bit of dry, it quickly begins it's move and drives hard and consistant to and thru the pocket. Ball doesn't back off when making contact with the pins.

And this ball continues to "rock"...... 639 today to go with the previous scores of.....619-631-650-620-583 mentioned on 12-15-06. I don't mean to be bragging, but I am simply amazed at this  ball. Especially with my averages in two leagues being in the 170's when I got this ball. I know my streak will end one day, but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts. I have now raised my averages into the 180's.

Congrats on the scores dude!  I myself throw an EU and I love it!  Goes clean the first 35-40 feet and then WHAM! -- it goes right to the pocket and the pins just disappear!  I started using Lane #1 last year and I've been very pleased with them.  I shot my first 700 set with the Tsunami H2O -- only took about 15 years to do it :-P  Anyway, keep up the good scores!

Trigger, don't forget that I am "thinking" about getting another Lane 1 sometime after the first of the year for the wood lane house of which the lanes are not as slick as the synthetic house. Hopefully if possible, something with the same reaction as the EU which moves as whtabtbill described his EU of which description is same as mine....40' or so and then....WHAM!
