The skinny I hear coming from the boys in Syracuse is one of increased excitement regarding this ball. I am not only talking to some of the guys from Lane 1 but other bowlers in the area.

Richie and the Lane 1 guys do not have a big following in their home town...in fact they are downright despised by many. However my understanding is that the tide has been changing recently for whatever reason and now this new ball is turning some heads.

Richie used his head and has been watching where the market is going. Mild asymmetrical balls and strong resin coverstocks are really taking hold of much of the bowling world. Sure there are lots of weak coverstock/ core combos that are selling a lot but let's face it Scout/R's and PowerGrooves will always sell.

I do not yet have one in my hands but I can say that the theory behind the core design and the coverstock choice sounds like it's going to be a winner to me.

I'll be offering this ball at a competitive price so check with me before buying. I will also be offering custom drilling for this ball including inserts and slug for an additional $35. The customer will also be getting the special edition G-Force gripsack that Lane 1 is so generously including with each of it's pre-orders.

And lastly don;t forget that I'll be the first online shop to get them in stock due to my close proximity to Lane 1. If I get enough orders I'll go pick the balls up personally and reship them that day!!!

Please drop me an e-mail or PM with any questions or orders.
