Most bowlers want a ball will bounce by itself with minimal skill. Most old school Lane 1 balls are very smooth and rolly by nature...a booming backend is NOT typically one of their big assets...yes there are exceptions...Silver Diamond, Cherry C2 most notably.
Lane 1 started getting backend with the advent of the Bomb cores (Cherry Bomb, Dirty Bomb) and now the 900 Global coverstocks react much stronger to friction than the old Brunswick covers did. So we are getting more backend now due to the covers.
I would like to see the Uranium cores released again with some of the new high friction coverstocks from 900 Global.

Sit tight.....I have a feeling that the C/2 core will make a re-appearance in the near future. I obviously don't know for sure, but I can feel it....

yea retro cherry bombs with c2 cores
. . . funny! he he he
. . . bombs and c/2s r different cores
. . . a new core might be a c/2 with a flip core (aka bomb core)
. . . now that'll be a winner

my favorite lane 1 balls of all time was the solid uranium, pearl uranium, and black cherry bomb. i had a ton of lane 1 balls back then. that used to be all i threw.
the cores with 900 global covers do not impress me much. im going to stick with hammer and roto grip. the only lane 1 ball i will have in my bag will be a solid uranium.

That's when I stopped using Lane 1 and the only Lane 1 balls I have now are a Pearl Cherry, Pearl Carbide and Solid Carbide.

Should really try the new stuff. The Chainsaw series and Dynamo series are the real deal.

I used the basic #1 drilling off the Hammer Black Widow drill sheet...pin over bridge with the cg kicked out 1" and the mass bias is on my VAL since the pin/cg and MB are not in perfect line. No weighthole was required.
This ball is an absolute beast. I ended up standing 10 boards left of where I was with my Blue Death and targeting a full arrow inside of my Blue Death line. So I guess that makes the Curve hook 15 boards more than my Blue Death! However the Curve is ALLLLL backend. The first 45 feet of the lane might as well not even be there....
The Blue Death is an incredible ball for me and it's probably the best ball I have drilled up in the last 4-5 years. I cannot wait to get more time behind the Curve and get it on the spinner to try some surface changes....I think this ball is going to be awesome.
While it is true that the new Lane 1 balls are not the same as the Old Lane 1 balls, the old Lane 1's left some to be desired on many levels. I think the new core and coverstock combinations are matching up great with today's lane conditions. We just need a few WEAKER pieces....
Can I make a plea for the Creature Pearl cover wrapped around the XXXL core????
For those of you who have shunned the "New Lane 1" I suggest you give it a try....I think you will be pleasantly surprised at what they can do. What you must avoid, however, is just doing a 100% comparison to the old Brunswick poured stuff. Just do an unbiased comparison and see what happens....
