Explain to me why Lane#1 is so Good???
« on: July 12, 2004, 05:35:43 AM »
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 agree with Joe as all my saws are condition specific,but so are my Hammers and storms....after all,is'nt that part of the fun in bowling?

Song of the Week: Infected by Barthezz

Here is my life in a nutshell:
--My computer is so screwed up that you could throw it out the window and it might work better.
--Not only that, but I still am obsessed with trance and get bashed for it every day.
--I havent bowled in over three weeks and have fear of the tournament coming up in three weeks.
--I have to ride a two hour bus trip to summer school.

And my only reaction all day is this:

I started my lineup with the Super Carbide, later came the Blueberry, then the Cherry Bomb and last was the XXXL.

Reading this, most would assume I am a Buzzhead, but I am not. I really like the roll and hit of these products. But after using Saws for an extended period and on a wide scale of conditions (international), it's save for me to say that for me they aren't better or worse then other balls.

If they suit your game, go for it. You won't disappointed. But don't expect wonders from them. They are just bowling balls. Very good ones, but not wonderballs.

Since the 1.5 years I have been using them, I think my technique has changed in a way that other balls suit my bowling a bit better now. I have been in a fortunate situation that some balls were given to me, and that situation opened my eyes. Building an arsenal from one brand (while you aren't on the staff) is imho not wise. Why limit yourself?

For this fall and some summer tournaments I use a 9 ball arsenal. It includes AMF, Storm, Brunswick, Track, Ebonite and Lane #1. All these balls have they own unique caracter and I think all will help me given the situation.

the only problem with lane 1 equiptment is that its overpriced.  its alot like how quantum was in the 90's.  there would be a bigger following if the prices were more competitive.  i have thrown some lane 1 stuff and i think they are great.....are they worth 200 dollars?? no,  not when i can get a another brand of ball that is just as good for 50 to 75 dollars cheaper.  
if you want to spend the extra money for a lane 1 then do it. but i wouldnt

Mike, 2 balls that don't work, or work as well, are not better than 1 ball that does work/work better. I'm not saying that a Lane 1 ball will work better for you or not, I'm just stating a point. =:^D
