TBones:

Sorry if I allowed my response to drift off target from your original post. I know better than to feed the trolls. I was simply pointing out that the cost associated with trying a Lane #1 ball is probably less than 10%-15% higher than an equivalent high end ball from another manufacturer, not 25% as had been stated.

I wish you luck with your new ball selection. If you have any questions, the members of the F.O.S. are an excellent resource for information.

Hey Bros,

The most important is we have fun bowling and support the sport.  Everything else is just gravy.

It is clear to me that I have hurt your feelings, and for that I appologize. I used the word troll to denote an individual who posts a message for the purpose of creating controversy and eliciting an iritated response to the content. Based upon your choice selection of words to insult me, you obviously felt that your message didn't fit into that category, so I am sorry you were so upset by my usage of the word.

As to the topic of a profile, I took the time to review your profile, and found it to be quite detailed and your bowling accomplishment are worthy of note. I was intending put one together at some point, I simply hadn't gotten around to it. I will eventually find the time to compose something, though I don't think that type of information is generally relavent to these discussions, so long as the debate is kept on an adult level and backed up with logic and facts.

Triggerman, I guess this is a little off topic, but who cares! It sounds like you & I are having the same experience with the bomb cores right now. The past 3 weeks I've had a couple 630's, a couple 680's, & a couple 700's all with the diamond cores & variations of same. I did have a 279 with my pearl carbide bomb, but it's so flippy I have trouble being consistent with it. Did I tell you, it looks like I'll be getting a solid U pretty quick?

Inverted 1, don't make me come up there!

F.O.S MEMBER IN TRAINING.
Got my fisrt saw last night (Tsunami h2o).  Thanks Doug!!  I'll let you know how things are once I get to throw it.  Now back to the post.  There it was in all its glory ready to rip the sh*t outta the pins.  Can't wait to see the owners face when he's replacing the pins.  But he'll be able to use the old ones as mulch in his garden, or around the bowling center for landscaping lol.  Don't want to hijack the post, but just wanted to say that for years I wanted to throw Lane 1 but complained about the $$ not anymore.  If this one works well I'll be weeding out all the stuff in my bag.

Triggerman:

I have experienced similar behavior out of my Cherry Bomb, I wouldn't say its too flippy, but it is a little speed sensitive. I have to be really careful not to lift my backswing with it, as the speed variation is more noticeable with this ball. I do love throwing it though and I find I can us it easily from light to medium oil.

Inverted:

would you feel better if I called you a couple profane names. Would that make you feel like I was not on such a "high horse". I recommend you switch to decaf and try to relax a little, your getting pretty worked up over this, and I don't want to be responsible for causing you to have a stroke. As to how high another person's horse appears to be, it all depends on your vantage point.

I'm afraid that to wear that shoe, I would need you to remove it from your foot first.

As far as taking ones self to seriously, I'm not to the one who injected profanity into this discussion.  I also didn't refer to you as a troll until you chose to take a personal stab at me just because I felt your original posting was a little harsh. I felt your humor was a bit uncalled for because you chose to be derogatory to the fine people who choose to throw Lane #1, and are dedicated to the brand.

Taking ones self to seriously would, however, fit well with a person who gets angry and makes personal attacks on someone else, simply because the other person, doesn't find their humor to be appropriate. You have made no effort to discuss Lane #1 bowling balls or the F.O.S. with me, and had you done so you would have already realized that I am not a mouthpiece for Lane #1. I have never in any of my postings disparaged another Ball Company, nor have I belittled another bowler for their choice of balls or brands. I love my Lane #1 gear and it fits my game very well, however, I have always advocated that other bowlers select the balls and brands that fit their own personal style, budget and game.

It is disappointing, that we could have had a spirited discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of Buzzsaws, but that opportunity has been lost in your efforts to drag me into a personal insult match. I am sorry, if you are frustrated, that I have not chose to sink to the sophomoric level of throwing profane insults back and forth, but I really have nothing against you. I have in fact enjoyed the volley of posts back and forth and have found your posts to quite amusing.  

Thus, I still wish you, no ill will and a good evening.

You can't be serious, your entire reaction to my original posting, was based on my offhand usage of the word "WE" in my first post. You accused me of not reading the entirety of your posts, which I assure you I have, and yet you fixated on the word "WE" in my first post and completely missed the point I was making.  Further more, you have extend your fixation with the word "WE" to interpret it as a claim of formal representation of the entire F.O.S. and Lane #1, that is completely ridiculous.

In the future I recommend that you read the posts through completely and try to grasp the intent and point the writer is making, before you start trying to argue over the choice of particular words.  

I will try to simplify the context of my future posts, to make that easier for you.
