Lane 1 folks, please post your current lineup (of currently available or easier to find balls - I'd like to snag what I need before places start going out of stock on things) or what you would suggest for a 4 or 5 ball lineup going from heavy oil to light.
thanks for your help.

1) G-Force or Solid Uranium- Heavy Oil
2) Solid Cobalt Bomb or Tsunami- for Med-Med Heavy
3) Cobalt Pearl
4) H2O or Bullet- Lighter Oil
5) XXXL or Crystal Diamond- Spares and burnt lanes.
You could even use an Enriched Uranium in here somewhere for carrydown and breakdown purposes as it is pearl particle. Just my $.02. Good Luck!

Pretty much older stuff, as you can see, but it all works well for me.

V2 Sanded
Tsunami
Uranium HRG (on the way)
Scout Pearl Urethane (Spares)
Eventually will replace the V2 and the Scout but for now they are working good together.

I'm finding the Cobalt pearl is very versatile, so to start, I'm looking for something to handle heavier oil or alot of carrydown without burning up (Enriched Uranium)? I'll be looking at the H20 and XXXL for lighter stuff.
For those who have an HRG and Cobalt pearl, is there a major difference or are they too close to really need both?
Post by: Grayson on February 22, 2007, 02:49:32 PM
The H2O I don't know but I have been advice this ball for med-dry to compliment my Tsunami...
If you need something stronger and you like the pearl Cobalt why not a Solid?
A friend's Enriched is very good on med and for sure skids good without burning up... the disadvantage is oil... though it is strong the ball imho skids too much around to handle much oil

The Solid Uranium was my favorite Lane 1 ball overall. But it got messed up by the ball return, so the alley in in the process of replacing it with a G Force for me for free. Should've had it already, but they sent us an HRG instead, so they're trying to straighten everything out.
So my suggestions are, wherever they fit in your arsenal, Bullet and Solid U (if you can find them both).

I have that can go in the bag at any moment....
15lb Deep Danger Zone. I know its not Lane #1 but its money..... in my pocket everytime I throw it....
15lb Pearl Carbide Bomb.
15lb Golden Nugget. x3 (2 drilled for me)
15lb Offset H2O
15lb Uranium Pearl
14lb Tsunami
15lb Cobalt Bomb Pearl.
15lb Silver Diamond.
I carry only a three ball bag to anywhere I go unless a tourney.
In that bag everywhere I go....
Uranium Pearl
Tsunami mostly for spares as its the wrong weight (unless the shot dries out or the backends are screaming)
and usually the offset...
Other than that the way they are listed is the order they are used from heaviest to lightest oil....

The G-Force revs up hard in the midlane and is very strong overall.
The HRG will be similar to your Cobalt Pearl, maybe a little less flippy. I scuffed my HRG, and it is a monster on a fresh THS. I left my Cobalt Pearl in OOB finish, and it works great once the shot breaks down and forces me inside.
Of the others, I would highly recommend a Bullet for light. That is the ball that keeps saving my butt in tournaments.
Otherwise, you will have to decide what is right for you. I have them all, and have had good times and bad times with each and every one of them. I would recommend getting one or two at first. Make sure you try something with a diamond core, too. They are noticeably smoother at the breakpoint.
