Lane 1 promo video.
« on: May 11, 2006, 04:29:30 AM »
I found this on another site, enjoy.
http://www.virtualtournaments.com/Lane1.wmv

My favorite line, "Our balls will raise your average 10-15 pins each and every game."  I think this was the spot that was on Bravo a few weeks ago.

On Edit- Added the link, oops.

Sometimes I wonder how Rudy "Revs" feels watching Maximum Bob throw the ball...knowing Smith is using a grip designed to take revs off the ball.

Thanks for posting the link.

All I'll say is that they a few bold claims that would be difficult to support with facts.  Much of it is the same as other bowling companies' claims.

Weren't there laws against false advertising in the US at one time?

I use Lane #1 equipment as well as other companies' equipment.  This is in no way intended as a "bashing" of Lane #1, just the general state of advertising today.

Claiming that Lane 1 balls will increase your avg. by 10 to 15 pins in rediculous.

That would not validate a statement saying they will raise anybodys average by 10-15 pins. That would validate a statement such as "of 25 bowlers tested some raised there average by 10-15 pins over a specific test period".

Precision


I'm currently taking a Statistics class, and I do believe that what triggerman says is true. As long as the sample of bowlers is randomly generated, then the person running the experiment is able to conclude that based on the statistics found, they can make an assumption about the population that the balls do increase your average 10-15 pins.

Who knows, the target for that little statement may be towards conventional bowlers who do not own a performance ball yet. Some people will look at the Lane #1 pricetag and say, "I want this one. It's the most expensive, therefore should be the best."

However, I will agree with the 20% statement is false.

and you should also know that the findings must be statistically significant as well, with a LARGE sample size(N) and unbiased participants, independant and dependant variables in order to make a causal relationship with data.

is 10-15 pins significant?

eh probably not... on average its probably 5% difference, most likely falling in the margin of error category.

either it is true, or its not, there is no "probably".

Wow, I'm gonna go completely off topic:

The center where all of those shots were thrown is the center I bowl in a summer league at.

Small world, eh?

Robert Smith does not use the Sarge grip anymore. Secondly, it doesn't take rotation off the ball when you throw with this grip. Once you get use to the grip and the feeling with the different pitches, you should be able to get the same amount of revolutions as before. I wish people would realize that.


Ok, I'll rephrase.  That's why Robert Smith went to the Sarge Easter grip. Rudy was still bowling when Smith did so.  I think most readers understood the nature of the musing.

Well its a good job that Rudy used buzzsaws then because he would have been averaging in the 190's with anything else!!!

Can you imagine if Jeff Carter had used Buzzsaws the year he set the average record?  He would have averaged in the 271-276 range instead.

muahahaha!

All I can say is that I just recently purchased my first Lane #1 and if you don't own one, then you should.  The extra bucks at least in my case are worth the money.  Great ball and I will buy another one....
