Can you prove that they are putting thousands of people out of work because they don't sell to distributors? No, I don't think so

Lane 1 sells a Black Cherry Bomb DIRECTLY to a pro shop for about $165.

Based on your statement places like Buddies and Doug Sterner, Drillwizzard, etc. that sell this ball for $169-$170 would only be making $5 to $6 per ball. Do you really believe they would handle them for that? No I don't think so.

If you are really that concerned about Lane 1 putting thousands of people out of work (which they aren't and you can't prove they are) maybe you should run for the Senate or similiar govt. job and do something about it.

As you've been told by others on this site, you need to drop all of this crap about Lane 1 and move on.

You, myself, and all of the others on this site can argue this Lane 1 thing forever, but there will never be no winners of the arguments. No one is ever going to "give in", so lets cut all of this crap and quit right now. OK???

well said-its a free country and we can throw what ever balls we want.its sad that someone asks a simple question and it turns into another lane one bashing.
all lane one fans should not respond to jabs and similar folk,as they want to take any comment and make it into something else.
its sad,as all the folk that actually post seem to know what they are talking about, so it always will come back to personal preference....
maybe jabs is paid by another ball company to post this crap or maybe he needs a life.
happy new year lane one fans....

Jabs,
quote:
DUH....They're not supposed to be drilled pin axis, you drill them according to the sheet, if you had ANY clue what you were talking about you would know that.
They're not supposed to be drilled pin axis, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T, and give you the proper reaction of a pin axis drilling..!!

This goes to show you that Mo's core is 1 dimensional. All it does is lope/wobble. Now I'm not saying that lope/wobble isn't any good, becasue it is for certain conditions. But, if you want to stablize the core for a certain reaction, you can't do it, and get a tight spinning pin axis reaction.

At least with Lane 1's diamond core, you can drill it pin axis and get a tight spinning smooth reaction. As a matter of fact, the diamond core does it best..!! And, if you want lope/wobble, you can get that too, all with a controlled, powerful reaction.  
quote:
HHHMMM....That's a flash point....If you look at the core...OMG it's a double cone!!!!!!!!!!!
That does look like a double cone. Maybe Lane 1 will try to put a stop to it, who knows. Just because Lane 1 has a patent, doesn't mean other companies won't try to infringe upon it. I'm sure they'll do what ever they think they can get a way with. I guess thats Storms way of trying to make Lane 1 look bad..? Infringing on their patent, and charging less for it. That sounds about right. =:^D

I think the whole point about not using distributors was "why are their prices still so high" if they're not using a middle-man, which does seem rather perplexing, UNTIL one sees that its obvious: people buy them at this higher price, and as long as they do (which everyone seems content with doing, and thats perfectly cool) the prices go nowhere, that would just be bad business to lower you're prices if your demand is steady or increasing. Although I still just have to wonder why they were set that high to begin with, when, as you say, they have no middleman.

jabroni, i will no longer attack you or your posts.  however, the issue i have is that you tend to propose your opinions as fact.  you obviously know alot about bowling, but i suggest that you keep a more open mind with respect to all manufacturers.

go back and look at some of your posts on this topic.  you're being unnecessarily harsh, and that's why you catch so much flack.

a corporation is, "an entity that is formed for the purpose of creating a profit."  if any bowling company could increase their profits by including or excluding certain aspects of the supply chain, they certainly should do so, don't you think?  blaming lane #1 for not using middle men for distribution is not a valid complaint, in my opinion.

please don't get so mad at the people, including myself, that think lane #1 is outstanding equipment.  your posts about lane #1 that go "a little too far" make your good posts in other topics less credible to some on this website.

i personally hope that i have an opportunity to travel to the greater atlanta area and say "hello" to you this year.  i'd enjoy the opinion sharing over a beer or two.  see ya' soon . . .

Jabroni, in reference to BadShot's post, no one could have explained it any better than he did. Hopefully you will take notice to what he said as it is the sole reason you have so many people attacking you when ever you post. In fact with your terrific knowledge, ability, and expertise, if you will take notice to what BadShot said, you will find that you will gain many friends rather than enemies on this site, myself included.

quote:
I think you missed the point.....It's a mid priced core by other companies' standards. However for some reason Lane 1 charges double the price for the same core....hhmm....strange.
Jabs, you missed the point..!! Price is dictated by performance, something the big manufacturers don't understand. Just because the core is simple, doen't mean it should cost less, if it out performs other "so-called high tech" products.  
quote:
Lane 1 could care less about them infringing on the patent....they have enough people snowed over by the "diamond core" bs that they are in no danger from a real bowling company.
I would hope that they care, as they should care, no matter who it is. Any infringement is a loss in sales for the company who is being infringed upon. So go get'm Lane #1.
quote:
WOW....you just showed your ball drilling intelligence right there.....
Yes, I did show my ball drilling intelligence right there. I've been drilling balls for over 25 years, not that that means anything. I guess I don't know anything about ball drilling or ball reactions. How long have you been drilling balls for..? Where is your ball drilling intellegnce..? What makes you so right, and me so wrong..? My knowledge comes from experience, not from what someone tells me is right or wrong..!! I prove my theories, unlike you.
quote:
So funny how just about every Lane 1 staff member I have met is a complete hack
So, how many have you met..? Name them..? What kind of staff member are they..? PBA staff, regional staff, amatuer staff, sales staff, shirt staff, ect... Back up your comments with Facts..!! =:^D
