I had the time Saturday morning to drill up my Agent Orange and throw a few balls with it.

Specs:
PreDrill
Gross: 15-4
Top wt: 3-3/4
Pin: 3-4"

Layout and specs:
5-1/2 x 5 Pin over bridge
No weighthole
Gross: 15-0
Side:  3/4 oz pos
Finger: 3/8 pos
Top: 1-1/16 pos

Surface:
I knew the 500 grit Abralon finish would be WAYYYYY too much so I stepped it up to 4000 grit without polish.

First impressions on our house shot AFTER the teenagers got done with their Junior bowling set:

1. This ball looks way cool going down the lane!!!! The charcoal grey/ orange flipping going down the lane is just an awesome sight.

2. The ball ignores the heads, reads the middle well and has a HUGE backend reaction.

3. Pin carry is way above average...far better than the BuzzBomb/R in my opinion.

4. This ball recovers from ANYWHERE!!! I threw a few balls that stood NO CHANCE of getting to the pocket much less striking...BUT the ball got there and eventhough they didn't strike they left easily convertible spares.

The ball is significantly stronger than the Evolution, Teal THS, SuperNova, SuperNova XP, BuzzBomb/R, or original G Force.

Total hook for the Agent Orange is just a tad less than the original BuzzBomb (at 2000 grit) BUT the coverstock and layout get the ball to read later which gives the illusion thatthe ball is actually hooking MORE. My Pin over ring BuzzBomb will start to pick up around 38 feet while the Agent Orange waits until around 40 feet.

This is just a fantastic addition to Lane 1's line up. Want a good 3 ball strike ball arsenal? Chainsaw, Agent ORange and BuzzBomb will cover almost anything you run across.

Will post more as soon as I get more frames on the ball.

Lane 1 Buzzsaw...The Official Power Tool Of Bowling

Edited on 11/9/2008 3:19 PM

No harm, no foul man...we all have our days. The challenge for everyone though is to leave it in the past and not let it affect the future 90% of the human population is  guilty of not meeting that challenge.

I can honestly say that the Agent Orange is significantly better than anything Lane 1 has released in the recnt past with the exception of the BuzzBomb and SuperNova XP. Yes, it's that good.
