Lane 1/ Brunswick covers
« on: July 10, 2013, 08:27:51 PM »
What was the last Lane 1 ball produced to use Brunswick covers? Always been curious.

Yeah dougb, I wasn't sure if Columbia poured the G-Force line or not. I am pretty sure that the Uranium HRG was a Columbia poured ball.

Now i am wondering.  Any one know who/what covers are on the current lane 1 balls?

Not sure what you heard or why you brought this subject up.
I asked and someone who should know says 900G is still manufacturing Lane#1 balls

Columbia did pour a few before Ebonite bought Columbia! The 900 Global plant is the old Columbia plant in San Antonio! Just my $.02, Bruce

Actually about 6 months ago, more or less, they were in the midst of moving to a new plant in the same city, SA.

Just prior to the g force  balls...   Maybe the Uranium series?    I loved original carbide, the c2 cored balls...and maybe alone, but like the cranberry.

I have had alot of lane one balls and my 3 favorites in no specific order were the pink panther,pearl cherry C2,& gforce evolution.... The original curve was awesome too. I also had both a pearl cherry bomb and black cherry bomb those didnt roll well for me ... But the premiums so.e guys pay or ask for are crazy..

If I am not mistaken the Carbide + was the straw that broke the camel's back between Lane 1 and Brunswick. The Enriched Uranium was the last of the successful Brunswick poured Lane 1 balls.

Oddly enough hybrid coverstocks are all the rage today. Lane 1 had the first hybrid I can remember being called a hybrid.....the Hybrid Dirty Bomb in 2005.

Go figure.....

I believe the Hot Rod Hybrid trumped the Hybrid Dirty Bomb by a few months... it's on the approved list at December 2004

What is the true definition of a hybrid coverstock? This is a term that came about around that time but is likely not regulated in any way to mean say a 50/50 mix or 60/40 ect. It is a term introduced that could have been around for much longer. (Reactice urethane/reactive resin ect)

I was not talking about merely the coverstock being blended.  I was referring to the ball being advertised as featuring a "Hybrid" cover or being labeled as such. I assumed that was what Doug was referring to as well.

There was a Surge Limited Edition manufactured by Columbia that was noted as having a hybrid urethane coverstock, but in this case it was referring to mica being added to the urethane cover, not the blending of two different cover types.

I understand. Just wanting to know if theres an industry standard or the definition and how much it may have been used prior to the label "hybrid" and also since the term. What balls that may be a hybrid and never been labelled as such. Out of curiosity.

I remember the Scout Urethane Hi Flare. It was not only urethane, it was also a solid/pearl combo coverstock. It was never marketed as such.

Both the regular Surge and the Power Surge had mica added to the solid coverstock.

Jeff, I was referring to this ball...

http://www.123bowl.com/ball.cfm?ballid=1038
http://columbia300.com/products/detail_retired_balls/surge_limited/

Understood.
Not sure how Columbia might have referred it as a Hybrid when the Scout Hi-Flare urethane wasn't.
I just was saying that the regular Surges also had mica (used as particles, like Storm and Radical had done) yet also were NOT referred to as hybrids. Not sure why, but as has been mentioned a hybrid can be a combination of many different types. LaneMasters mixed particle pearl with particle solids. Storm mixed particle solid with plain resin solid (Secret or Special Agent).
