In the end its all personal experience. Some people have better scores with Lane 1, then storm,track,etc.

For me im going to be getting my first lane 1 ball wednesday which is the Uranium. And if i like it i might stick out with that company, if not ill stick more to track and storm.

All I can tell you about lane 1 is I have a xxxl, their plastic ball. The only pastic ball that I know of that has a core in it. And yeah, it's an awesome ball, that can be used as a first ball on burnt lanes without giving up pin count, as well as a spare ball on all conditions.

So my experience with lane 1 is fantastic.

For me, as you can see by my name, they are the best company. I have 2 blueberry buzzsaws, a viper, a black cherry bomb, and just bought the uranium today.  Are they worth the price? Depends on what your shop charges. I buy from a shop run by a Lane #1 senior tour rep. This debate is just like with cars, is an acura really better than a regular honda? Depends on who you ask.

IEQ is correct. I agree with him 100%. I don't think Lane 1 is any better than any other ball company, but they work well for me.

These kind of debates always remind of  kids, “My Dad can whip your Dad”.  Is Lane 1 good equipment, definitely yes.  Is it better than the other companies, it depends.  If you are looking at just the scoring aspect, I have to say no.  If you consider the intangibles like customer service, quality control, longevity of the equipment, etc, I would have to say yes.

If I followed the logic most fanatics’ use I would still be using Ebonite.  My first honor score was with a Gyro I.  Does that mean Ebonite was the best company out there for me.  Since then I’ve shot honor scores with Storm, Track, Columbia & Lane 1.

Right now my arsenal consists of Lane 1, Storm, and Dynothane.  I use the equipment from each manufacturer that lets me stay in my comfort zone.  Personally Lane 1 diamond core doesn’t work well for me, too condition specific.  The bomb core works great though.

IMHO people who limit themselves to one manufacturer are doing themselves as disservice.
