Must be a very small town in that you know you're the only one who owns a Lane1

actually for the longest time at two of the centers i bowl at i had the only saws too, up till 3 years ago, they were virtually unheard of except for those of us who used them

I've seen a few Saws on the house racks and some of the kids use em for glow bowling.They're popular in the 65 and over league too.Nice logo.

Rackattack, do you roll Lane#1?

Not exclusivly.Mostly older stuff.The bomb core is not a good match for my game.I'm a low tracker so center heavy blocks like the diamond are a good fit.
The first post was a joke.Zeusjr got it.
Why do you ask?

They're bowling balls not the Axis of Evil.AND I did say the logo was nice.
At one time Lane 1 gave me a look I couldn't get with any other ball.Not so much now.I buy equipment to fill a need and I'll buy any ball that fills that slot.I have pretty good skills so I'm not real equipment dependant but always consider the diamond core.

Dont worry spinner, theres still a pile of good Track stuff that'll get plenty of use. With my hometown having 1 12 lane centre i know i'm the only one Rileybowler, hell theres only 1 person her that rolls Visionary too!!

Time for some REAL bowling!!!

Hmmm, wasnt the greatest with the layout it had on it, went a bit long for me. So its off to the shop for my old faithful 10.30 drill so i can get the midlane reaction i want.

Considering i rarely drill anything pin under, and this ball was drilled pin under i have to say i was a little dissapointed in this ball. It revs up great, but for some reason just decides not to mid lane. It got the length of a pearl and was even a little squirty sometimes. Tried it at different surfaces and it just does not want to work.

The ball did hit well and carry was great when it worked. But was just not what i thought it would be. I expected smooth reaction, some midlane and strong backend. I got a hard reving ball, with length, more length and all backend.

Hope you have more success than i did with it Adrian.

But i have to say the Dirty Bomb is by far the best ball i have ever owned.

Thats pretty much what i saw with the pin under ring finger, cg about an inch from my grip centre drilling Loki. On something like a Solid G-Force or Uranium that layout would be pretty good for me(with the cg kicked out a bit more of course) Thats one thing i notice with Activator covers too, i need a bit of surface for the midlane i need where with PK18 i can gloss polish and still get the midlane look i want.
