Thinking about going to a Lane 1 arsenal, and thought I would post this to get some ideas and feedback from Lane 1 users and drillers.
My specifications are: PAP – 5 1/4 over, 0 up or down. (high track – approximately ½ - ¾ from thumb and finger holes)
Speed at pin deck – 14.5 – 16.5 mph
More of a “tweener†style, comfortable playing inside or out.
“Old School†fingertip drilling, NO grips or thumb slug used.
House 1. – THS with conditions varying greatly, as we are second shift, and open play during the day. Medium to light, where sometimes heads dry up a bit, but carry down comes into play more often. Sometimes, medium oil, and pattern stays consistent, depending upon open play on pair. Synthetic lanes.
House 2. – Flat pattern, short oil, back-ends cleaned weekly. Track shot around 10, usually lighter oil for us, as league ahead of ours complained they can’t get any movement on their equipment. Again, second shift, follow mixed league, with the only constant thing about this house is that the lanes will hook, just how early.
Also, these pieces would be used in tournament, and travel league conditions, so please let me know your thoughts, and ideas, or suggestions.
My thoughts:
Supernova XP – stacked layout 4 ¾ X 4 ½ with pin over ring.
Teal Retro THS – stacked layout 4 ¾ X 4 ½ with pin over ring.
Uranium HRG – pin over bridge, cg slightly shifted right about ½ - ¾ positive sideweight.
Liberator – Label at 1:30 with pin right of ring, cg in palm, 4 X 4 ½.
Looking to get pieces with long pins, about 4 inches, and 3.5 plus on topweight. When balls are finished, would like to have fingerweight, positive sideweight, and topweight over 2.5 on each of them.
Can use surface adjustments to cover changing conditions.
Please share your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks in advance.
