i have no idea, but i will guess the following . . .

brunswick probably has the best series of equipment out now (except lane #1, of course) with their inferno balls.  i doubt they're in financial trouble.

could be that if there is a delay, it's because brunswick is busy keeping up with their demand . . .

Could someone tell me what conditions this ball is supposed to be meant for? I could go to the website but I don't want to miss anything.

Kendog,

I have never really seen a good answer to that question either. Anyone?

Also, for all you lane 1 experts, basically where will it fit in a lane 1 arsonal with a super carbide bomb, golden nugget and an emerald??

thanks..

Actually, I don't think Brunswick has much of anything.  The Zones are a couple of nice balls, and the Raging Inferno is decent.  They might be SELLING a lot of the Infernos, I just don't think they're that great.  Brunswick's stuff keeps rolling earlier and earlier and when you have that hook/set reaction with EVERYTHING, it makes it really hard to come around the side of the ball on a short pattern especially when it wants to move at 30 feet in any case.  They can't be in financial trouble, no.  However, if it's Lane 1's own coverstock, why can't they make them?  Do they not have the right equipment?

Hmm, another thought.  I imagine it'll be a lot like the Raging Red Fuze, just from hearing about it.  Wouldn't surprise me at all.  Should be right in between the Cherry Bomb and Golden Nugget.

Weelll, after going over to the Lane #1 site, I'm cornfused I guess. Glides through dry heads, and sticks to the lane in oil. This ball does everything. They ought to sell like the perverbial hotcakes with all that.LOL. I wonder what is new about this resin.

They will be in Syracuse, late next week.  It is the activator coverstock.

It's not Lane 1's own coverstock, it is a tweaked version of Brunswick's Activator coverstock. Lane 1 hasn't started making their own yet, but I believe this is coming fairly soon.

Remember the black cherry bomb was delayed when Brunswick was bringing out a ball, has the newest Inferno come out yet? If not, that could be why....

Why would you say it was a tweaked version of Brunswick's Activator?

I wonder to the point of doubting that B'wick would tweak the cover for Lane#1 and they certainly wouldn't give Lane#1 the formula. My guess is that, IF it is the Activator coverstock that someone above said it was, THEN it is the pearl Activator coverstock from the original Inferno, because B'wick would also certainly not give Lane#1 their new solid Activator when their own version of it is not even out yet.

That I agree with.

The reason I say it is a tweaked Activator is that Lane 1 doesn't call it an Activator coverstock. The called the coverstock on the BlueBerry the powerkoil 18 coverstock. Notice the Nugget has a p.17 carbide particle...think the foundation for that could be powerkoil 17?

I could very well be wrong, it could be Lane 1's own coverstock, just not one they are physically making yet.

If the new Inferno is now out yet, then I would put out money as to why the Uranium is being "delayed"

Chazman,

I see what you're talking about, but marketing is a very strange language unto itself. Note that Brunswick has never mentioned which base they were placing their particles in; that is, they never called a cover: "PK 17 plus particles".

"Uranium Coverstock" sounds so much more impressive than using the same name as Brunswick. The buying public still regards any thing radioactive with a lot of fear. Power is also associated with "radioactive", as in bombs.  

Also, from a marketing standpoint, if this were the first cover that Lane#1 were developing themsleves, I have to believe that they would be making a MAJOR deal about on their website and in all their advertising.

All in all, I have no proof but am inclined to believe thi snew ball, if it has a Brunswick Activator cover (which is quite a great cover, indeed!), it is the original pearl one.

The thing I would like to see is to take this "denser" material in the weightblock and create a strong mass bias in the ball by vertically making half the core the original core and the other half with the new material. they can then call it the "Plutonium Buzzsaw MB", MB for mass bias.

Has anybody thought about the delay being that
as of Jan. 28, 2004 ABC has not approved this
ball and it also does not show up on the PBA
approved list either?
