I have been trying to find a Lane 1 ball to replace my Big Time pearl and Big Time.  This is in no way a slam on Lane 1.  I shot my first 300 with Lane 1 and I think the Tsunami is the best ball on the market.

But I have been trying to fill the gap between the Tsunami and the the Solid Uranium and the EU does fit the bill, but currently its too erratic.

The Big Time pearl drilled the same as the Tsunami is a much stronger ball and handles more oil then the Tsunami.  Much more back end and over all hook.  I tried the Megaton, Hybrid Dirty Bomb, both good balls, but still does not hold up to the Big Time pearl so far as reading the lane over all hook and carry.  This is not a plug for Ebonite.

The on to the Big Time.  Lane 1 does not have a ball to replace the Big Time.  The Big Time fits between the Tsunami/Big Time pearl and the Solid Uranium/XXXcel.  Lane 1 doe not have a ball that is for a heavy medium shot (not heavy)  The Big Time fits very well in front of the Solid Uranium in box condition.  I'm sure you can sand/polish Lane 1 bowling balls like I did to the Tsunami, but Lane 1 does not fill the gap by ball design to fit between the Tsunami and the Solid Uranium and yes I have the Enriched Uranium.

If I were to build an arsenal (and I am)  it would be;

Solid Uranium/XXXcel
Big Time
Big Time pearl
Tsunami
H20
Cobalt (somewhere I hope)
Bullet (is almost a non starter for dry lanes)
White Dot (hope the clear Buzzsaw)

I tried the pearl Carbide Bomb in place of the Big Time pearl but I wound up replacing the pearl Carbide Bomb with the HDB.  I tried to replace the Big Time with the Super Carbide and that is a possibility but the Super carbide is for more oil then the Big Time.  Super Carbide wa Lane 1's oiler before the Super Carbide Bomb, which I have and but never find enough oil to warrant carrying it.  I'm thinking about poilishing the Super Carbide Bomb.

I welocme all input because I would perfer to throw all Lane 1 equipment if I can fill the gap between the Tsunami and the Solid Uranium.

Thanks.

I have both the Cherry Bomb and the Black Cherry Bomb.  The Cherry Bomb at last the way I have the ball set up is the longest and strongest back end ball I own I think.  The Black Cherry Bomb I might have drilled incorrectly and I have the pin too high.

But all there bowling balls are reactive with some sort of Powerkoil 18 or other type of Brunswick reactive (Hybrid)that really doesn't match up with oil unless there is a strong back end (dry boards to play off of).
