I was going to just sit back and not jump in, but since all the hype cost me $200 plus a lot of pain, I finally decided I just can't sit here and give the BustBomb a free pass.

This review is short and sweet. It is neither for the Lane 1 lovers nor the Lane 1 haters. Both are fringe groups whose opinion doesn't really matter.
This is for the normal guy, like myself, who heard all the build up and may be on the sidelines waiting to buy... Here's an honest review from my first Lane 1 purchase....

There is nothing special about this ball. Save your money. This ball is DOA 99% of the time. I believe I gave it an honest shot. I tried it in four houses plus Nationals, after a 2 week wait for the ball. I tried every possible option, 2 different drills, and every possible surface level from 600 to 4000.
It was at all times a purple marshmellow.
Look back through these threads and you'll even see where I tried to help people figure this thing out before drilling mine. Why oh why was I stupid enough to drill it up after hearing all the bad news? Like I said... no one's fault but my own. Caveat emptor, right?

For me, the BuzzBUST was a total waste of time and money. Another experiment gone bad. Props to the Lane 1 hype crew, you got me. I was tired of Big B and wanted to try something new. I did. I paid for it in more ways than one. So now, it'll go on Ebay this week.

There is, of course, no magic ball.

Funny thing though. After losing big time on the BustBomb, I talked myself into trying another new ball from another new company I've never thrown. Still had courage to try a new company I guess. But this time, I chose a ball based on percentage of positive reviews from average people not associated with the brand and stayed away from choosing balls where there was massive controversy. Wow, what a ball... OOB, it turns out to be what I expected from the BuzzBust. I'm headed to the Roto Grip forum now to give it the props it deserves. I need to give time to the positive as well as the negative.
Lane 1 lovers, write your garbage below this. It won't matter. I'm not going to be back on this forum, so will "regrettably" never see it.

I'm out.

Signature? I don't need no stinking signature...

I have both the Cell anf the Buzzbomb...The Cell i can actually swing the shot and the ball comes back to pocket but as for the Buzzbomb, the best line for me is straight up 10 board...and both shots results in explosive strikes...just my 2cts...

In my bag :
The Cell/Buzzbomb
Fury Pearl
Twisted Fury
Buzzsaw Clear Diamond

DC38 hs thesme experience I m hving with my second Buzzbomb.  It plays down and in well, but I'm not having any luck swinging the ball.  Its much better then the first Buzzbomb nd I can use and stay with the Buzzbomb longer then the Cell, but the Buzzbomb will not cover the boards the Cell will or handle the oil the Cell will.  So in retrospect, I'm currently using the Buzzbomb much more then I'm using the Cell.  Yes the Cell is  great ball, but rarely do we have the oil to use it.
