OK, first I have to say that I love Track Equipment and will more than likely not be taken away from that. I am never beyond trying different equipment though. I am not one of those guys that stays with one company-----no knock to those saw lovers that only use lane 1.
I bought a buzzsaw xxxl a while back and thought it was awesome for dry lanes. Great hit, and carry for a plastic. Last week I got a Blue Berry from a fellow user----the ball is far too light for me, but I wanted to try it anyways. I like it, it goes long and snaps very hard. The hit is good, but I just cannot keep from missing left with it due to the light weight. So far, I like the ball and wish I had a 16lb.
After seeing a few of my friends throw a Cherry Bomb, I want to try a Black Cherry, and I have already contacted Doug Sterner to purchase one. This one will be 16lbs so I will have a better idea. The Black Cherry would easily fit my game better than the Cherry.
Currently I am trying to get a few older Lane 1 balls to see if they will match my game, or atleast how I will like them. One of the balls I am going to try is the XL-----I have never seen it thrown, but figured it would be nice. And the other is the Pro Purple. What should I expect out of these balls?
I do not want to sound like a desperate person, but if anyone has any old lane1 stuff lying around and would want to get rid of cheap----let me know. I do not want to put out Lane 1 type money and hate a ball.
So with the BlueBerry being light......and going after the older stuff...is this the wrong way to go about trying Lane 1? I would tell most bowlers to NOT do what I am doing. I just think it is the incorrect way to do it. Even after the older stuff I am going to try, the Black Cherry is probably my best way to rate lane 1---atleast on that ball.
Thanks for reading and any responses I may get.
