Man.... Lane #1 BITES.
« on: September 09, 2003, 11:13:12 AM »
THE LANES!!

Holy smokes. I used my blue carbide tonight, the pink still needs some TLC.

I was standing 7 boards left of where I would normally stand & 3 boards left of where I was with my Quantum Navy.

I could not believe how much movement I got out of this ball & all with little to no loss of hit.

It's entirely too early to pass judgement on the ball, I'm usually a tough critic. But I get the feeling I'm going to enjoy these next few weeks.

On a separate note, I HATE the new Prodigy oil! It was there one minute & completely GONE the next. In a matter of 3 frames everyone on my team had to move left TEN BOARDS. I was throwing with my right foot on the far left dot, even with my Voodoo.

We had to resort to throwing Hammer pearl urethanes & Scouts for the last game. If I see many more weeks like this my next purchase may be an XXL.

Well.... I never was a buzzsaw basher, just a Lane#1 basher. I still have some reservations with how they present their customer service & marketing.

However, it's obvious to me that Lane#1, like Roto-Grip, Visionary, & D/T, has a devout following willing to do anything to show the beauties of their beloved balls (that sounded dirty).

Again, it wasn't a miracle ball for me tonight, but the hook & hit was a bit of a suprise. I shot WELL (20 pins) under average. I can attribute that to myself learning the ball, not executing well, & the terrible lane conditions (probably caused by the high humidity here right now). Once the oil when AWOL, everyone started bowling poorly.
