Holy Grail of Lane #1 balls?
« on: March 22, 2005, 02:24:19 PM »
So I am interested in everyone's opinion; which ball in the history of Lane #1 would be considered the Holy Grail of Buzzsaws?  I mean, one you would (almost) trade your bowling arm for!  Obviously it would have to be one of the hard-to-find balls from several years ago.  It seems to me the toughest ones to find are the Pink Raspberry and the Pro Purple.  What is the general consensus?

i saw a pro purple on a house rack around here. Had a nice chuck out of it else I would have happily picked it up for a hefty profit.

I think generally it is the Pro Purple because it is fairly hard to find them and they rolled so good and were so popular.  I know several people who won't throw any buzzsaws or haven't thrown any but they have thrown the Pro Purple and  would do so again in a heartbeat.  Considering I have all the ones listed except a Pink Rasberry NIB I would say its been the hardest to find for me as well as the first generation buzzsaws as in teal,black and purple are also hard to find, although I did have a NIB Original purple as well.

What about the Silver Diamond.  I have talked to so many people who have said that ball is amazing, and I just got one yesterday, so I am hoping it truly is amazing.

What about the Teal Buzzsaw ?/
That is a very very hard ball to find.

I picked up a third drill silver diamond,  and its one of my favorite balls.  Backend like nothing I have ever seen.

I had one of those NIB too, traded it to Beans, didn't know what it was at the time I bought it off ebay guy had it advertised as a black rasberry I didn't even look at it closely before I sent it to beans.

I don't have one, but I always thought the Blueberry was considered by most Buzzheads to be the overall-best Lane #1 ball of all time.

I do have a Pro Purple, and no, you can't have it.

If I were to convert back to Lane #1 in the back, the first two on the must-get list would be the Silver and the Cherry Pearl C2.  I was not as enthralled with the newer offerings, but some of that may simply be that I never got to see them on the conditions where they could have shined...many of the Lane #1 offerings were simply too strong for the house conditions.

I'd like to get a Pro Purple in decent shape.  The one I had looked like the moon, except it had maybe more craters.

I would love to get any sort of berry back into my bag. Pink, blue, black... doesn't matter to me, I just want that PK18 with the dual diamonds.
