Trig - I am not bashing. I just think it is funny that there is a need to amp up a "New Ball" this early in the offseason.

X2 hybrid probably says everything in the title. It must be a hybrid coverstock with the Dynamo core. My guess would be two parts solid to one part pearl (but could be the other way too). Hopefully non particle.

The New Ball sounds like it will be their first non Diamond Lane 1 ball.

because of all the negativity of late in this forum.  There needs to be a little lightening up and if I can do that by adding a little suspense to the upcoming releases then why not

I will say even the non lane 1 followers will be surprised by ball number 2

Obviously a non diamond core.  And no I wouldn't be surprised.  Now they can finally stop trying to con people into believing the diamond core is stronger than all of the new assymetric stuff out now a days.

Trigg has to hype it up because he's a Lane #1 retailer!

Don't worry Trigg, if I run across some extra money I'll be sure to buy one of these new balls from you just to make up for the little bit if crap I'm handing out today.

Steven, I have a Dynamo also but haven't drilled it yet. Ditto for an XP.
I have been working on a new grip involving both span and pitches and as soon as I feel comfortable with it, I will drill the Dynamo and XP. I really anxious to get the Dynamo drilled and try it which I hope will be within the next 1-2 weeks. Anxious to see how the Hybrid does also.

I agree with 2 of the senior posters here....

Triggerman.,..yes the new ball is a total shock and one I was not suspecting...one I had been asking for but never expected to see. I am soooo stoked!!!!!

Beans...you are also correct my friend....unfortunately I am one of teh guys who dug into your Lane 1 sales and for that I apologize. Back when teh Cherry Bomb was king I remember selling them on ebay and clearing $35 per ball after fees and shipping. What happened to those days? Shipping went up, fees went up and there are way more people trying to get their slice of the pie. Ever wonder why I am not on here fighting for all of the new ball sales? It just isn't worth it anymore. Seeing people sell the balls shipped for the same price I see listed on the pro shop price sheet sucks. I, like you, will bend over backwards for my repeat customers who respect me, my business and the knowledge I can give them. I feel that has to be worth something but then what do I know? I am just a $35,000 annual pro shop. 3 years ago I did $35,000 ONLINE alone, plus another $25,000 in local sales. I am still one of the little guys and Lane 1 is one of the few manufacturers who has taken care of us over the years....now there are other companies who are following suit with special "brick & mortar pro shop only" offers.

I also agree with Beans on the count that there are way too many people who say "comp me a ball and I'll see how many I can sell for you." I have gotten comped one of each new Lane 1 releases for like the last 4 years.. When  Iheard about the Chainsaw Massacre coming out I told Chuck not to bother sending me one since it was too late in the season to gain any sales and the summer leagues won't support that type of ball reaction.

Lots of new and exciting stuff on the horizon....I can't wait...

Brick: I guess we'll finally know after next week.

Whatever the cover technology is, I'll be in line for it. I usually wait a few months before deciding on a new release, but I'm going for this one sight unseen.

The twisted diamond core in the Dynamo is the most exciting advance I've experienced in the Lane#1 line-up. I hope there ends up being 3-4 different Dynamos, much like they did with the BuzzBombs and Uraniums.

Sig not currently in use. I'm not interested in playing games.


And more evidence that Steven is nothing more than a Lane #1 fanboy who might try out a few other things here and there, not an impartial "polyglot" who happens to prefer Lane #1

Why bring my name into it?

I don't care what someone else sells balls for. I don't care what you pay for balls. I don't care about who's core is stronger and if there is ever going to be a core based out of anything but a diamond. If this is the only thing in this industry that gets you wired JLS then you have major problems..

I have to compete with 3 pro shops in my area that drill balls for $20 more than cost and that includes grips and slugs. If I'm going to survive in this industry I am going to sell online and keep building my customer base from out of state bowlers.

You want to get balls at deep discounts???? Sell large quantities. 80% of people complained when Lane#1 had the highest prices and never gave discounts no matter what. They changed that and allowed everyone to sell at what they wanted. Now the same people are bitzing about people selling balls for $5 profit. I was the first Lane#1 online retailer in the USA regardless of what you hear from anyone. I had that all locked up. Then other people jumped on my bandwagon and started digging into my sales. Then some more, and some more and more, etc. Now everyone is competeing for a $10-$20 profit. Why do you not complain about Buddies Pro Shop and Bowlingball.com selling their Storm,Brunswick and Roto Grip for cheaper than I can buy them for??????

I do not hear you ever complain about that. EVER!!

There are many problems with this industry that need to be fixed. You happen to be one of the problems. You're the guy that says," If you send me a ball for free....I can promote your products and get them sold up here in my area."  There are far too many pro shop operators like that too.

I can't rely on the bowling business to support myself and my family any longer as I refuse to fight over a $5-$10 profit sale. Thank god I have bread routes as my full time income.

I make more money plugging balls that are drilled by hacks then I do selling new balls. What is wrong with that picture??????

Since you are in it now Beans, I think even more than the sleight of hand about prices of balls, the fact that Lane #1 bought out the sauce and immediately jacked up the price is a crying shame.
