Review: Lane #1 G-Force
« on: January 23, 2007, 11:50:33 PM »
Hello all...
Heres hoping my review of this ball will be of some use to you in your
decision to purchase

BALL: Lane #1 G-Force

================================================


BOX SPECS:
15# 3oz, Pin 2-3", Top 3 1/4oz, MB In Line With CG

BOWLER SPECS:
Right Hand, 14-15 mph, 4 3/16 x 4 1/4 Span
PAP 4 3/4 over x 0, Axis Tilt Slight, RPM Medium

================================================

CONDITION FOR/REACTION SOUGHT:
Typical House Shot, Fresh Oil, Guardian Heads, Wood Backends
More Direct Line Down The Outside With A Slightly Earlier Roll

LAYOUT USED:
Box Finish
3 3/8 Pin X MB Slighty Right Of Thumb
Next To Ring With No X Hole
================================================

REVIEW:

I think we are all excited to try Lane #1s newest release considering
the change to Columbia covers!  

For the reaction I was looking for was a stronger mid lane roll with
a strong arc finish on the backend.

With this layout the backend wasnt nearly as violent as the design of the ball
might suggest but considering the pattern I wanted to try it on this works great.  The carry was tremendous with this ball!  With the box finish it was
very strong at the breakpoint, but predictable.   I can see this being a
monster on the backend by moving the MB into the strong position and possibly
a tiny bit of surface adjustment.

Compared to Uranium HRG
(2-3", 1:30 Label Leverage) Really isnt a fair comparision but I thought
I would throw it in.  The HRG on this shot went WAY longer and didnt even
think of recovering on fresh oil.   I typically use the HRG either bowling
2nd shift or when the lanes start to transition into a burnt state.  These
two would compliment one another excellent!

================================================


Thanks again to Richie & Craig at Lane #1

Sounds like a great ball to be Joe!
I may have to give you a Buzz and pre-order one.

Joe start comparing it too another hi-po ball from another company that is eqaul in stength. To me comparing it too a much weaker ball tells me nothing about what it can or cannot do, say an action max or total nv.

Howdy

Just a slight update:

Threw it in comparsion to My Tsunami H20 (layout pin under ring, MB strong,
1-2" Pin).   I still see an earlier motion on the same shot from the Tsunami
then the G-force, but definately MUCH more movement on the backend.   This is
good.  I often never throw the Tsunami due to the fact that it rolls in the mid
lane and has nothing to offer on the backend.  If you were considering a Tsunami
I would move right along to the G-Force.

Thanks,
Joe
