I am really close to not buying one since my source (who shall currently remain nameless) says he can't find my specs anyway. All these negative reviews have given me a really bad feeling about this, which will (or would have been) my first foray into Lane 1. Add to that the fact that I e-mailed Lane 1 thru the website a week ago for info and haven't heard, and it sure does sound like hype. It sounds really close to the Resurgence hype I bought into, and that ball is a piece of crap for anyone with no hand.
I agree with previous posters that at this point I've only seen hypesters push the ball. Question now is whether or not to take the plunge.
By the way, I won't by the "oh you just don't match up" routine forever when comparing similarly drilled balls... If it smells like garbage and looks like garbage, enough reviews will confirm it's garbage.
Wonder how far it's worth it to go and see? If it's fine, I'll sing the praises. If not, I'll be sure to make that known also....
Personally, I'm the PERFECT test case. I don't know Lane 1, I have no preconceived notions (although I'm sure getting some), I'm a true stroker bowling on a left hand flood, perfect tester for this ball. Of course, I can't get one so it may not matter.

Signature? I don't need no stinking signature...
