scottie,

I went with a 5 x 3 pin under bridge, and this ball outhooks almost all the balls I have.

cg outs have worked well on the Uranium series for me in the past and for many of my customers, I have drilled many of them this way.

ok guys thx for your posts--yes drilled pin under cg out and wow..... first game 279! then 223 then i fell to bits for a 669 series....wonderful strong ball...i was standing center on the aspproach and playing over the 11 board..pissed i didn;t get a 300 with this ball--had the front 9 then a flush hit, ten pin staring at me!

Did your ball come with a spec sheet?  The way the ad reads, it appears that it has the original Uranium core, so presumably the RG and diff are the same as the other Uraniums.  Is that the case?

i dont think ill ever understand how people bowl so well out of the box.
for me personally, i dont start to do well with a ball until it gets tracked in.

Is this ball a replacement for the pearl/solid? Or a new ball for the Uranium line?

I would say it is an addition, not a replacement. The original uranium is a pearl resin, the second a solid resin, & this one has different pearl cover with light load particles added.(3%)

its an addition to the uranium line i believe, so apart from the cover stock being tweaked, i trust the core etc is the same....noting megamav comments, some buzzsaws for me match up so well no matter the shot..dirty bomb 754 out the box, tsunami 740 out the box, and then i can struggle with some saws for ever...golden nugget and cranberry were always tough for me.....i have a friend who will only use black raspberries, where for me they have never worked that well...
for me its also the house shot i'm playing..if its dryish, i can play where i'm really comfortable, and hoof the ball down the lane, if its oily, i tend to tighten up and not score so well.....
anyway, i'm sure you will all be shooting big numbers with the new uranium..i wanted that 300 bad last night with the brand new ball..there is always tonight's league....

Good luck tonight Scottie! Keep us posted on how the ball works. I have mine ordered.(I'm not as lucky as you) I opted for longer pin & higher top & planning to drill 1:30 label. Hopefully I will have mine before Christmas.

Why don't they have this on the USBC approved list yet? Or am I just missing it?

Scottie,

You are the same speed as me, and I would suggest a 4x4 or 4x3 1/2 layout, which would put the pin approximately at 2:00 to the ring.  This is my FAVORITE layout for most of my stuff, especially since I need the extra strength due to my speed disguising my rev rate.

I plan on using this ball behind my SCB and before my Pearl Uranium.

I too have my EU on order (should ship Monday). I already have the solid and pearl, so it will be interesting to see how this one fits.

I really don't care if there is overlap. The Uranium is my favorite ball in the Lane#1 line, and I could probably get by with nothing but them. I finally got my head out of my "arse" and started using my solid in league, and the results have been phenomenal. I shot a 300 two weeks ago, and shot my first sanctioned 800 last night. In the month I've been using the solid, I've averaged 240+, and the condition isn't pretty.

Anyway, kudos to Lane#1 for expanding the Uranium line, which are the best balls on the market.

For all you Lane 1 experts..

I am a high tracker so would a pin beside the ring cg out and mass bias to the right of the thumb be a good strong drill for the Enriched? I have one coming and am thinking about doing that layout since its safe..

Jim, I like that layout. You need a good amount of oil with that layout, but If you end up not liking the roll on that drilling, I'll trade you my excellent condition Tsunami for your EU. We almost have the same span, so it won't be that bad.

That layout should work ok for you, but the extra wt hole still may be fairly large if you swing the cg rt in relation to the pin outside of ring finger.

I will not swing the cg enough for a weight hole. Maybe just a tad bit outside the palm.. I do not like weight holes with my short 4 inch span. Sometims it causes to much flare for me..

That sounds ok. So looking at your layout then, it would actually be more stacked or 1 o'clock almost label?

How you can you say your not impressed with the ball when all you have seen is that one video and the ball thrown by one person??

I could not have any opinion, good or bad, of the ball at all till I drill one up for myself or see it used by someone else..

Oh well, to each his own..

Lane #1 told my pro shop that the release date was 12/12.  I am under the impression that that is the SHIP date, not the date that they are expected to actually be in stores.  I just called the pro shop to check, and that is what he thinks as well.  He is going to call Lane #1 shortly to place another order, and will find out for sure then.  If I get any interesting feedback from that call, I'll post it.

AllenP, have you tried a longer pin out with a 1:30 label drilling keeping the pin at least 1" or more above your finger line? This type drilling could raise the bowtie enough to reduce clipping the finger hole.
