Lane#1 balls
« on: November 15, 2008, 11:18:25 PM »
Hi my buddy is wanting to try out Lane#1 balls but he wasn't sure which one will suit him best so he asked me to seek advice from the members over here.
He is a right handed stroker and his usual line of attack is straight down 7 board. His release is more forward roll.Same as me, he has fast speed with medium rev.
Some balls that he is considering are SuperNova, BuzzBomb and/or the new Agent Orange...all advice are welcome...thanks !

med-heavy?  ok
if your buddy just wants to TRY lane one, he should ask his proshop if the Distributor has any orig. G-Forces left. there getting rid of them dirt cheap. my driller got me one last month for 120 drilled, grips and slugs out the door.  thats less than what he charged me for my playmaker lol

If your talking about the regular Supernova (Red/Blue) it wont work well for a down 7 and IN shot.  I've found this ball works well if you give it allot of room and really allow it to REV up, playing a tight line with it doesn"t work well.  Agent Orange may be a bit to strong, but then again if you polish it up it might be just right..  BuzzBomb's are available at a great price right now if you don't mind getting one with white labels instead of yellow.

If you get a BuzzBomb or BuzzBomb/R, keep in mind that it needs a lot of top/finger weight before and after drilling. Especially if a person has low revs and speed in the 15 MPH range like myself.

Agent Orange should be good, but may need polishing a bit. The Chainsaw might work if the lanes are dry outside. He'll be able to stay in the dry longer allowing him to stay on his "A" game. =:^D

The Agent Orange or Buzzbomb would be great. They are both very versatile. I disagree a little with T-God as I am not so sure with the Chainsaw with his higher speed. I am a huge fan of the entire Buzzbomb line...

Do yourself the favor of getting an Agent Orange though...

We have heard quite a bit of feedback about many bowlers not matching up with the Buzzbomb, is that true ? So the Buzzbomb is the ball to play straight up 5-7 board ?

i use the buzzbomb on the same line all the time
use beans sauce , and i get a great look going straight down and in, BUT you got to shine it up otherwise it wont work

my BB is drilled stacked leverage and this combo works well for me

Allot of that was when it first came out and allot of people made the mistake of drilling it label and/or with bottom weight.  If your buying one just avoid Label and make sure you start with enough TOP so you don't run into a bottom weight issue.

When I play straight up the boards I prefer my THS @ 500+Secret Sauce if it is a house shot with friction outside, if I need more ball I use my BB/R @ oob finish, or you can knock the polish off the THS, say something around 2000ab. and I stay up the back of the ball and not 'hit it' as much. My pin down Buzzbomb is just way too much so I reserve it for truly heavy oil, but a pin up polished Buzzbomb may work, hmm I think I may have to try this.

If he is playing straight up the boards, I would recommend the THS Teal or Supernova XP.  Both are smooth rolling and easy for control.  I am also a heavy forward roll with med-med hi revs.  I am able to play multiple angles and have good control.
