I know that the world has turned upside down for Lane#1 over the past few months, but at a practical level, I'd like to understand what this means for Lane#1 bowling consumer.

The Lane#1 website still lists a number of the Brunswick based covered balls (out of production) as 'active' but if my search for a Carbide+ is any indicator, only odd pins are available. I can only guess that the Columbia based G-Force and Uranium HRG are out of production and will also soon be in short supply.

Does this mean that if I want to remain primarily Lane#1, that best case it will be 6-9 months before they'll have a new lineup that's widely available? I love the company, but it looks like I'll have to go to other companies for my shorter term needs.

If I'm reading the tea leaves wrong, input would be appreciated.

well all I can say is just sit back and relax...Lane#1 has something in the works and will be a matter of time before the bowling world will know..They do have a pretty good stock of balls in stock.If you are looking for something give Chuckie a call and ask him to check what they do have...Columbia isn't closing for a couple of months so they should be able to have a good stock of the G-force and HRG...

I just ordered a C+ directly from Lane#1 and the lane#1 rep listed me few balls with different pins & TW .. none of them was odd ... could be just those bowling sites have few left and did not order new ones from Lane#1

and yes I asked the guy from lane#1 about their status .. and among the answer I got is what irishluck821 said ...

so my opinion .. worried !!  not at all
