Just wondering why there were so many die-hard Lane#1 followers??? Can you guys give me any reasons why Lane#1 is so good? Im trying to convince myself to get a Lane#1 ball but I need some help convincing. Thanks,XG.

I've shot well with them and without them.......go figure...I would try to find a used one if you want to give lane 1 a try.

I really like mine (I have 3), and here's why:
They seem to be predictable in reaction.
They seem to roll true.
they hit really, really hard.
I bought 2 of them used, and one at a decent price on Ebay, so I don't have any $300 bowling balls.

Would I be happy if I had to give them up? No.
Would I get by? Yes.
Does each ball fill a particular niche? Yes.
Do I only throw Lane #1 - HECK NO!!!
would I give up my other stuff and only throw Lane #1? Same answer as any other ball company - only if THEY paid ME to do it.

I have thrown many different bowling balls, storm, columbia, dynothane, just about all of them.  I just recently started trying lane 1 this year and i must say i do see a different type of ball.  It must be the diamond core because these lane 1 balls noticeably hit different.  They seem to give more pin action.  I bought a uranium and a golden nugget both brand new for 280 bucks.  I have tried the emerald, pearl cherry, xl, xxxl, cherry bomb, black cherry bomb and soon the super carbide bomb and the xxl.  To me I like em alot but i am not going to solely use only lane 1 balls.

I have 3 lane 1 balls. Only been able to throw one. I bought them all used and one fits my hand like a glove. The cherry bomb is currently my favorite ball. Best ball I have thrown! Always seems to find the pocket and carry better. Maybe its just a good match for me... But I went out and got 2 other used lane 1's b/c i liked it so much. Shot my first 600's with it. Wouldnt trade it for anything.... Just my opinion....

Lifes a GAME . . . Bowling is SERIOUS!

Uranium Solid is Ultimate Inferno with the Diamond core.  Might not be a bad matchup, but I see the Ultimate core revving faster, so the Uranium Solid may be more versatile for different styles.  I have a Golden Nugget and it's an alright ball.  Nothing great but it is a nice even rolling, controllable piece.  I got it off a user here named Shaggy for 30 bucks shipped and since I have won almost 10 times back my money with this ball.  See my review for it, it's pretty in depth.  I say the Nugget is their most versatile piece.  You can't go wrong with particle pearl, the only problem that I see with alot of Lane 1 balls is you have to tinker with the surface to fit your game, alot of that stuff comes out of box at diamond gloss, making for terrible over-under. Once you find the right surface, you could fall in love with the ball(the Nugget that is).  If you already like activator, the Uranium might not be a bad choice.  I would get a used saw first before I shell out the big bucks for a new one.

I can only speak as to why they work for me.....

1. I get a better and more consistent roll with these balls than any other I have thrown.
2. I get more control with them than other balls.
3. I have a better strike percentage than I had before.
4. I get less over/under with them than others.

Again this is why they work for me. They may not be the reasons for other people but they are the reasons they work for me.
