Lane #1 Are you going to continue using Brunswick when they go to Mexico?
« on: June 19, 2005, 10:23:47 AM »
Just like the subject says, is Lane#1 going to continue to allow Brunswick to manufacture their balls & coverstocks after they move production to Mexico?

Loss of customer base due to backlash wont affect a huge corporate megalopoly like Big B, but it might impact a company such as yourselves.

I've already stated that I wont be supporting any companies that are using Brunswick. This unfortunatly includes Lane#1.

Visionary is producing all of their equipment in the US & I plan to switch to them for my bowling ball needs.

Please Lane#1, realize that American jobs & supporting our workers is too important not to take action.

I know there are probably people that won't agree with me here, but in my opinion, Lane 1 would have some better performance balls than they do now if they used some of the covers from Track, Columbia, Storm, etc. in place of all Brunswick covers.

Coming back to the original topic, let's see if Lane #1 going
to make the change. So far I agree that the Lane #1 cores do
match up greatly with some of the Brunswick coverstocks. I am not
really sure I am going to be a great fan of the new Hybrid coverstock
on both the Hybrid Dirty Bomb and the H20. I have both balls in my
arsenal. This is just my personal preference, no offence intended.

If Lane #1 starts to pour their own coverstocks, hopefully it
will lead to the reduction of their bowling ball prices. With that,
it will shut down the complains regarding Lane #1 prices.

Maybe the time is fast approaching for Lane #1 to pour their own covers.  Didn't rumor have it that Lane #1 bought all the old faball stuff when the plant closed up.  I thought that the rumors had lane #1 working on their own formulations and were just waiting for the right time to do it

That is the rumor I heard Chris. But nothing more than a rumor as far as I know. I sitll say Brunswick covers are the best in the biz I just hope nothing bad happens with the move.

Seth I am sorry to hear about your dislike of the Hybrid covers I love both the Hybrid Dirty and the H20 they suit me well, but you also love the Solid Uranium which I disliked. No doubt different styles and different oil patterns/surfaces come into play but not every ball works for eveyones game. If you don't mind an experiment my friend take your Hybrid Dirty to 1000 grit smooth finish and see how you like it, I recently did mine and I love it even more now that I have a direct compliment to my pearl dirty bomb.

Thanks for that suggestion, Jesse. It might take some time
for me to suit my game with both the Hybrid and H20, as they are
relatively very new in my arsenal. Compared to the Uraniums,
I have been using them for almost a year since I bought them.
Again I may say that not every Lane #1 ball will suit my game
perfectly. Hopefully Lane #1 will still continue to produce
bowling balls using Brunswick coverstocks. I would yearn to see
future Lane #1 balls using coverstocks that is different from the
Hybrid coverstock.

If the price increases to the the point that is out of my
reach, I might have to reduce the number of Lane #1
equipment drastically in my arsenal.

I am just expecting the worst. Higher prices
will force me to make careful selection of future Lane #1
balls. Please bear in mind that, there is no Lane #1
distributor in my country. I will have to buy Lane #1
balls from the internet or Lane #1 directly. Conversion
rate of local currency to the US dollar is very high.
I can't afford if Lane #1 prices increases more than
50 % on the internet.

Some issues to ponder ....
If Lane #1 balls are made in Mexico, how is the quality
and workmanship going to be ...

Is it going to be something like using cheap electronic
components imported from China as opposed using components
made in US ..??

My experience tell me, cheap components from China doesn't
last long ....

If quality is the same or much better, I wouldn't
hesitate to continue using Lane #1 equipment ...

You know, if people just invented robots, it wouldn't matter WHERE a ball is made.  OF course, that would put EVERYONE out of a job, but hey, at least everyone gets to starve together.  See ya later guys, I'm gonna try to invent a full size human-like robot that can make bowling balls, and, also do "the robot".  Or would a robot do "the human"??  Hmmm....
