first got the g-force last year and was not impressed with the ball.....it set in my cellar and I even tried to sell it on the forum here,no takers.
I plugged and redrilled the ball as a learning experience and now I have shot two 300's in two weeks.
the ball works incredible for the first game,"both 300's were first games",as the lanes change during the second game it starts to loose a little carry and the third game it labors to get around the corner to carry.
I guess my question is when the g-force starts to fade a little,what lane#1 ball would be a good choice after the lanes transition?
-
When you say fade, do you mean hook too much or lose drive due to carrydown?
The Evolution is a great addition if the Solid is starting to hook too much.
If you are fighting carrydown go for the Nebula...the particle in the cover cuts the carrydown nicely.
If you want stronger, go for the Buzzomb.

it is losing pocket angle due to carrydown,will check into nebula.
I have shot 548 for two and 568 for two....a little more pop on the backend that last game,I will shoot an 800 series,that darn g-force is a carry monster until the backends tighten up!!!!
-
Yes go with the Nebula...it gets through the heads easy, rolls strong midlane and has a strong arcy backend. The particle in the coverstock helps with the backend carrydown a lot.

Mr. Sterner is correct is his anaysis, those two balls will fill the need you have depending on what is happening. This is a tremendous 3 ball arsenal that my recent purchase of has made me push all others to the side. The Superflex(my understanding) used on the Neb and EV got me to purchase this combination because it's my favorite. Don't know about the BuzzBomb but the gurus can stear you in the right direction on that ball. My one venture with Lane1 was the Carbide Plus and it was a good ball, but these 3 have me thinking about staying awhile regardless of the hype or the attack hype.

why not try the supernova, Have never used the solid, but the Supernova would probably make a good step down, but maybe only through the second game, might be too much for the third. I rarely get to use mind. I bowl on second shift, so it's usually too strong for me, but have had extremely good luck with my XP
