Liberator- a limited release?
« on: January 25, 2008, 09:13:41 AM »
Well, is it? I read somewhere on here; "hurry and get one before they're all gone."

There's just not that much demand for a urethane ball, no matter the core. 750 may be wishful thinking, but not a terrible gamble. Many people will like them. I just think it will be less than 750 bowlers. There are tons of NOS urethane for sale on EBay. (NOS - new, old stock.)

charlest,
I agree, but are there tons of urethane balls that will hit like a Lane #1?
There are lots of plastic balls out there, but none that carry like the XXXL.
I believe a similar outcome can be expected with the urethane cover.

Especially because of the price, u see how expensive those are?
No offense bro, but looking at your profile, you seem to have plenty of expensive balls in your posession. You are criticizing the inflated price of a urethane ball?

$240.00? More like $150.00

Do you live outside the USA?

Sorry. Don't see that.

I have visionary SLate Blue Gargoyle with a REAL core, also.

Wow, you need buy your stuff from someone else cause I've never paid even close to that drilled with grips and slug for a new release Lane#1 ball of any type ..

charlest: With due respect to the Blue Gargoyle, I don't believe it will be in the same class as the the Liberator. That's just my best guess right now, but I've seen several Gargoyles in action, and I don't see them being in the same category.

I've got one on order. So does my proshop guy (for himself), and he's not really a Lane#1 guy. We should know better when they arrive in a week or so.

I don't think I will be buying a Liberator as my current arsenal will cover all of the conditions I see around here where I bowl.

The SBG can be snappy off real dry. I have one and I think that the pearlized shell gives it those characteristics. I'm hoping the Liberator is a little tamer than the SBG.

Probably the cover.
My XXL (pearl urethane) also snaps pretty hard on clean backends.
Just for the sake of comparison, I dulled my XXL and it rolled much earlier and was much more tame on the backend. I polished it back up since I have a Liberator coming.

No need to be sorry. It's just my opinion.
I will find out (next week) how the Liberator rolls and I will post my findings.
