Author Topic: Received the Buzzbomb back from Lane 1 (Read 10869 times)

Nicanor · « **on:** March 17, 2008, 11:42:57 AM »

Lane 1 filled the balance hole and drilled a new balance hole in the strangest place. Strange to me at least. The balance hole was at the 5 O'clock position to the thumb almost opposite of the thumb 180 around the ball. If you drilled straight through the thumb to the other side of the ball, the balance hole would be about 1 inch right of that hole.

I threw the ball and my bowtie was about 1 1/2 inches from the balance hole and the flare rings almost cleared the hole and most times did, barely. But thats ok.The first few shots had the ball going staright, almost dead straight. Then I threw the Cell and the Attitude Shift and they were covering the back end very well. Pin is up on the Cell and Attitude Shift and below the ring finger on the Buzzbomb. All surfaces ar about the same.

I noticed that i was trying to help the Buzzbomb hook and coming around the ball a little too far. So I worked a little bit and got a deeper knee bend stayed under the ball and threw through the ball with fingers and the ball came to life. Every time I came around the ball it skidded out and did almost nothing. Stay behind the ball with a little side roll and fingers and the ball was vrey strong. Never as strong as the Cell or Attitude Shift, but I believe its because of the difference in drilling.

I eventually tried a six step approach for the last 15 minutes with some friends that was video taping it on their camera and showed me the footage, and the Buzzbomb was reacting very strong on every shot. I wish they knew how to send me the video, but they don't and I'm not smart enough either. But even in the six step if I didn't get the knee bend and topped the ball the reaction was very limited.

So I'm not saying the ball itself is a dud with this configeration, but very difficult to use. I know if I work on being more consistant with my release, this ball will work very well for me.

Spell check is currently not working, sorry.

Lane 1 just prefers to blame on it's own customers the pro shop's, yeah that rights 3/4 of an ounce of bottom weight that makes the ball poop out hahahahaa what a crock of sh1t you are all being fed.

Are you telling me that all I've learned over the years drilling balls doesn't work anymore? That what I know doesn't mean anything?

Look what resin balls are doing to you. It's all surface and place the pin here and you're good to go. What do you actuall know about the science of ball drilling?

Maybe you should give someone a little respect for everything that I've learned and done for ball drilling over the years, which is a hell of a lot more than you've ever done, believe me. Actually, I'd like to know what you've done for bowling or ball drilling. Please inform me.

If you want me to go though my whole resume, just let me know.

Obviously you don't even use a scale when drilling balls or top of the line equipment. That's a shame and a dis-service to the bowlers. Do you listen to Brunswick or Ebonite when they tell you how to drill their equipment? If so, then why won't you listen to me when drilling my equipment? You believe that statics don't work, then keep drilling balls that puke. If you don't want to learn how to drill equipment from different manufacturers, than so be it.

We've sold thousands of these balls to pro shops all over the country and your pro shop is the only one in the country who's had problems with these balls, aside from a bowler here and a bowler there.

If I say/ask you to keep top weight in the balls and you don't listen and the ball comes out with bottom weight and the ball pukes, then who's fault is that..?

I'm willing to take those drilled balls back and replace them with new balls for you to drill with more top weight or with a different layout to prove to you how much it matters in our balls when you see them puking.

Maybe I didn't do my job with informing you good enough and I'm sorry for that. Nobody's perfect and I'll admit I make do mastikes at times. But like I said, I'm willing to make good on those mistakes and the balls.

Why don't want to take advantage of the offer? Is it because you're affraid that if the new ball turns out better, then it'll make you look bad? I'm sorry for that Phil. Is it you don't want to be bothered with learning about static weights?

If you would listen to me once in a while, you might learn something and we wouldn't be here in this situation.

Excuse me Barry for hijacking your thread.

You are funny as he11 my name is also Barry, i am not from K & K and i am not Phil anyone that knows me from BR that has bought from me has a clue and knows that.

You hide under t-god and go after Brunswick all the time, you also are helpful alot to others about drillings. But you are a tool when it comes to statics, your video you made of you throwing ball well and then like crap about cg negative and positive was a big joke.

Why not admit that bashing your own customers/pro shops is just plain stupid for business reasons. You are so arrogant that bite off the hand the hand that feds you, i knew the real Richie would come out of the woodwork because you forgot all the heated pm's between me and you from about 3 years ago.

Btw the mighty Richie if you asked your customer, i was one of few here in Vegas that bought your buzzbomb and kept the ball. Hmmm interesting that i like the ball and others that are far better bowlers than me have all returned them to K & K.

I do not blame Ken if never buys another product of yours again, i would get on the phone and kiss some big azz if you still want them after attacking poor Phil.

I am sure he is reading this post and they will make the correct decisions for being so rude and arrogant at Phil who is 100 percent innocent on anything here.

Bowlingnut---Mind your own business. You are not a spokesman for
K&K and you are making them look stupid. They are not, you are.
Let Phil take care of himself, he is very capable.

mrbowlingnut · « **Reply #51 on:** March 19, 2008, 06:01:27 PM »

I am sure Phil will take care of himself, i am not spokesman for k & k and have said so at least 3-4 times in this thread alone. You are correct they can fend for themselves but the original poster was told by lane1 that incorrectly drilled the ball for bottom weight, i have had pm's with him and was making sure that he realized what was going on.

Am i making them look stupid or myself

Of course i know what you think and do not really care to be honest or Richie for that matter. They know my phone number and email if they have a problem i am sure there is call coming soon enough.

Let me chime in one point that I haven't seen mentioned yet. For some reason, everyone believes the world revolves around this site and failure to see or hear critical mass here indicates there is no problem in the market. Sorry to report, sadly, this site is not "all that". I for one just got my BuzzBomb and am (at this juncture) very unimpressed with Lane 1. I saw another poster mention on the side that he saw a fellow league bowler struggling, and a few other posts that mentioned people with complaints in league.
Not to hurt any egos, but 98% of the buzzbomb owners don't live here or, like me, are so tired of the lack of response and BS on the board, we tend to stay in the shadows. The informative and objective posts are pretty much scattered among the sniping back and forth.
Bottom line: Not hearing it doesn't mean it's not a real issue. That goes for ALL companies, not just Lane 1...

The problem when reading about bowlers who have issues with the BB is that there are too many credible reviews that say the ball is the real thing. So I'm not overly impressed when I read a "poster mention on the side that he saw a fellow league bowler struggling, and a few other posts that mentioned people with complaints in league".

What does this 'he said, she said' tell me? Did this 'fellow league bowler' throw it on drier second shift conditions where it should have been left in the bag? Should this fellow league bowler be throwing any heavy oil ball at all based on skill and/or the ability to differentiate bad ball from bad matchup? You don't know the answers to those questions, but you should know the credentials of the shops that post videos and love the BuzzBOMB.

Steven, you are an idiot. Credible reviews? Give me a break. I for one will take the word of a Joe average bowler trying to make the ball work over a shill on the board any day, any time.
Sorry to say that, but I just can't beleive kool-aid drinkers like you actually believe what you type.

Well since I will be working the booth in Las Vegas next year. I will be seeing probably 95% of them again.. I give every customer I drill for a business card with my contact number and email address in case there is any problems or they are not happy with anything....

As for you TheMezz...

I do not hide behind my screen name and cause problems and troll like you. I may spam a little but everyone here knows my name and where and how to reach me.

You have no guts to post your name or who and what you have ever done for this game....

I see what Buzzbomb does on this USBC Pattern and I also saw what it did at the regional this past weekend.

The bowler in 4th place with 773 at the USBC Open threw a plastic spare ball..
Is everyone going to drill one to come here and bowl becasue it is the 4th best ball in the tourney right now???

Mezz,
Why don't you go into the other companies forums and write how their balls crack and stop hooking and have mismarked pins and CG's?

Why???

I was just as upset as everyone else when my ball did absolutely notta after I got it drilled...it's on it's way back to Lane #1 as we speak. I will definitely post results when I get the BB back with the static weights that Richie ends up with after moving the x-hole...actually can't wait to try the old one and new one side by side to see what comes out of it. The BB definitely won't be my last lane #1 ball with customer service like that...

Regulator--I would like to point out that K&K has actually not responded at
all to this thread. They are being made to look bad by some big mouth who
has made all of the responses for K&K. They have remained above the fray.
