Title: Lane 1 like every other company
Post by: smer on April 29, 2007, 11:52:21 AM
Started throwing Lane1 stuff 3 or 4 years ago. What excited me was that they did not take a ball, tweek it a little so it hooked 1 board more, change the name, and call it the next bowling ball like Columbia 300 or Brunswick did. Every ball that Lane1 made seemed to have a purpose. Is that changing? Seems that a lot of their bowling equipment does the same thing. Dont want to start a big argument, just some thoughts. I do love my Lane1 stuff.

Sorry I don't follow you...  They've come out with new cores and have changed companies who pour they stuff.  And all of the latest balls are very different from each other....

Seriously, they have. The new core, coverstocks, differentials, rg's, they have changed dramatically.

Well I wouldn't know if their balls react the same.  If they are anything like the Cobalt Solid, then I'll pass on the rest of their products.  I will make a thread asking about this ball too since I have gotten PM's agreeing with my VERY BAD review on this ball from Lane #1 fans.

I posted in your thread agreeing with you I was not a fan of the Solid Cobalt.  But I asure you they all react differently the that ball.

Let me try to clarify. When I started getting serious about bowling, Columbia had just come out with the Black U-Dot. Great ball. Than Hammer came out with the Blue Hammer. If you owned those two balls(and a plastic for really dry) you had everything you needed. Now I know than a partical reacts differant than reactive which reacts different than a pearl. I do not own every ball that Lane 1 has made but have had a chance to throw several. My Super Carbide reacts the same as the Super Carbide Bomb which reacts the same as a friend's solid blue Uranium. My Golden Nugget reacts the same as another friend's Tsunami. That is why this year I bought an Infinite One. It is a totally different look. I would like to get a totally new arsenal this year from Lane 1 , but do not want to spend $500-$600 for new equipment that reacts like old equipment.
