Why are the Uraniums and the discontinued, but still-on-the-website Golden Nugget the ONLY balls with the diamond core??
(No, the Bullet doesn't have one, and the XXXL is of too limited a use for it to be any significance when we're talking about everyday balls.)

The Bomb core is just a way to get tons of RG differential into a ball which is the anti-thesis of the original Lane#1 philosophy. I do not see anything close to a diamond there.

What happened here? When did Lane#1 become just another, but too expensive bowling ball company?

T-GOD, wait your turn, I was speaking to Steven.  I have many years left to deal with you :0  And oh, I dunno who cares about how much a ball hooks, probably just 95 percent of the actual clientel who walk into a pro-shop.  We'll deal on another level with those last 5 percent who will take their game to a "higher level".

So, I see almost everyone agrees that the unique diamond cores did give the Brunswick coverstocks enough of a basic difference (although surface and drillings can make balls look very alike) in their ball path appearance, that it is worthwhile having Lane#1 bring them back. Of course, I mean the true diamond cores, not these mutations with pieces added and pieces chopped off to make them emulate everyone else's cores.
