How is that for versatility!!
No more excuses...this is the ball of the year by any definition. Time to fork out some cash and get with the program. As an added bonus, you'll get a education on the value of a superior core in a high performance ball.
Does it get any better than this??

I do not have a MAssacre but when comparing the videos online of the Agent ORange and the Massacre, the Agent ORange is definitely stronger.
Back on topic...yes I agree a Pearl Dynamo would make sense....

I will say the AO can handle some mad oil and still come back hard to the pocket. It is an amazing pearl.

With all the discussion about what's missing in the lineup -- a hybrid, perhaps? Lane #1 has never built one, to my knowledge.
And by the way, I have yet to throw the AO but the BuzzBomb/R was plenty strong as a pearl for me. About as strong as my Tsunami H20. Probably the strongest pearl in terms of ability to handle oil since the Track Mean Machine, IMO. At least for me.

Correct. However that is what defines a Hybrid. A mix of different coverstocks. So therefore, HDB, Tsunami H2O, and H2O are all Hybrids.

Exactly. Prices are not higher. If anything, some balls are even more moderately priced compared to their counterparts from other companies. Lane 1 is not more costly than the next brand. Maybe by a few bucks here or there once in a while but it isn't $20 more than the next ball.

CRD: OK, I'll bite. You're pandering for attention. Calm down.
Since you're in a thread dedicated to the next Lane#1 release (which turned out to be the Massacre), what are your thoughts on the ball? Is it as good as many reviewers here suggest? I don't have one, so nothing I can offer yet, but with your enthusiasm, you must be bursting to share.
On the subject of cost, you think $220 out the door (drilling, grips, slug, tax) is highway robbery for the highest end ball from any manufacturer? For instance, I see that a Storm Gravity Shift at Buddies is $155. If I buy that ball, it certainly seems reasonable that I'm going to pay close to another $65 for drilling, grips and slug -- assuming I'm using a top notch driller who doesn't give his time and services away.
But please, share your purchasing secrets. A lot of posters here could benefit.

I can't see me paying $65 for drilling, grips and slug from anyone. I see your point regardless.
It doesn't matter what you say. Right or wrong, you're going to be the beneficiary of harassment no matter what you say.
If the price point is the reason why people don't throw Lane #1, that's fine. If I'm only buying 3 balls a year anyway, there's not that big of a difference to deter me and many other bowlers.
The major problem I hear is from pro shop owner/operators who have to pay that extra 10-15%. Of course it is up to them to set their own price for the customer, but many want the same profit margin they get from other manufacturers. Maybe they don't want to deal with smaller distributors because of laziness, but better prices are available than what they're offered by the manufacturer in some cases.

Taylor: Thanks for the reply. Going back to Buddies, I see their professional drilling charge for everything is $50. Now the problem is any required adjustments. No matter how good Buddies is, I'm probably going to need some tweaking to get it absolutely right. My driller isn't going to do that for free for an outside ball/drill. Now throw in the additional cost of freebies I normally get for being a reliable in-house customer, and I haven't saved a thing.
Maybe CRD has a method of going about this I hadn't thought of.

send them a ball, have a thumb mold made..they keep them instock for you and every time you get a ball drilled it will fit perfect with no adjustments..or quit using lane 1 and your proshop guy prob wouldn't charge you for making adjustments...or buy a bevel knife and sander and do it yourself..
CG: Some good points other than the Lane#1 piece. When doing work, most drillers, mine included, don't care about the company label on the ball. An adjustment is an adjustment. If it comes from outside the shop, you pay.
So about 'send them a ball, have a thumb mold made..'. Isn't there a charge for shipping a ball across the country and getting it back? To the tune of around $50? I'm assuming there is also some charge associated with having thumb molds made. I'm still not seeing any real savings.
As far as 'or buy a bevel knife and sander and do it yourself..', thanks but no thanks. We're talking about the cost of proshop services, not how I can save money by doing things myself.
BTW, in all the calculations I've shown so far, I haven't added the tax associated with the Buddies purchase. For California, that's roughly another $15-$16.
$220 isn't looking so bad. I'd like to understand how I've been robbed on ball purchase and drilling.

2) Why $220 is too much for a top of the line ball when it costs at least that much from Buddies. Thoughts?
