Spookster, I agree somewhat with Inverted 1 & charlest, however, there are always factors to consider. I have not thrown the tsunami, but I know what the lane one hook charts say. I had the solid uranium with a 4" pin & 4oz of top weight laid out with the 1:30 label drilling. It was a bit too much ball & did roll a bit too early for my league condition. I decided I wanted to use the ball for my league, so I polished it a bit with finesse-it. After polishing it, the ball had a huge backend without any skid/flip. It just went a little longer, then turned hard toward the pocket with a continuous backend movement. I agree if it is laid out for early roll or for a control reaction you probably won't get the big backend move, but the ball can be set up yo hook almost like a bomb cored ball. It just depends on what you want the ball to do. My point is, it is easy to set up & alter the surface of the slid U for either heavy oil or for more medium condition. I don't know if you can take the tsunami & tweak it for heavy oil.

Grinch, thanks again, that is all good information. You do have much higher ball speed than I have, but I seem to be having much more success with the older diamond cores as well. I had the HDB but didn't really care for it that much. I liked the U pearl & U solid much better. Right now I'm doing well with my H2O, blueberry, & cherry C2. I will probably end up getting the tsunami latter on. Thanks again for the info!

The Tsunami IS NOT a skid snappy ball, but rather a smooooooth and continuous arch.  It will be a great ball for your, and very controllable.  This is the first ball in a long time, that many could purchase 3, and drill each differently, and cover the spectrum of lane conditions.  Then, one one add the XXXL, for those spare and fried conditions.  As a matter of fact, I am going to get a second one and drill it to go longer, so the it will fit perfectly between my current Tsunami, and the H2O (drilled to go verrry long).

I have been looking to try a Lane 1 ball again. I have been looking at both the Dirty Bomb and Hybrid Dirty Bomb and was unaware that the HDB doesn't like carry down.

What about the Dirty Bomb, does it not like carrydown either?

I'm sort of disappointed about the HDB not liking carrydown and also the DB if the DB doesn't like carrydown either.
