First off, thanks to Chuck at Lane #1 for getting the two new test balls out to us so we can get an idea of what they do.
I laid both new balls out identically...pin 4 3/4" from my PAP and MB 3 3/4" from my PAP, pin 3 1/4" above the midline, no weight holes needed.
On the medium oil shot I tested it on, the G-Force Evolution impressed everyone that watched. It was very clean through the front part of the lane and made a left-hand turn on the backend. I was able to play different parts of the lane with just a minor hand position change, and like all other Lane #1 balls, it his the pins like a freight train. Pins flew everywhere, and the expanded pocket i had with this ball allowed me to throw a high percentage of strikes.
I moved to a pair with a higher volume oil pattern to see how the Evolution would fare on heavier oil shots. I had to play further right than I would have preferred, but you gotta do what the lanes tell you to do. The shiny surface of the Evolution was a little fishy on the heavy volume of oil, but I can't hold it against Lane #1, the ball is intended for medium to lighter patterns.
In comparison to the other G-Force balls, the Evolution is the most tame. The Evolution is about 4 boards less than the Nebula, and about 8 boards less than the original G-Force, but the Evolution is much cleaner and performed much better on the lighter volume shots.
With the 3 balls under the G-Force name, you have a very versatile and well-rounded arsenal. Once again, very good releases from Lane #1.
Thanks,
Tim
