I talked to Lane 1 today, and I stand by my claim that it is the original activator coverstock, and they will get them by midweek, next week.

Lane 1 would be making a bigger deal of this if this was in fact their very own coverstock. THat may happen on the next ball...

You may be right snakes, it could very well be just the original peral activator coverstock. I am inclined for the time being to think it's a tweaked version. Either way I am not complaining, tweak or no tweak, I have been impressed with the cover to begin with, and if I can start to understand my Nugget and the roll on it, I will be in line to buy one of these immediately.

One other reason why they may not be calling it the activator coverstock(if it is indeed not tweaked) is that i remember reading that everytime Lane 1 uses a Brunswick trademarked name in advertisement..ie Powerkoil 17, 18...etc...that they have to pay a fee...if this is true...why not call it your own name to avoid that? Assuming it is true they pay a fee for the name and also assuming Brunswick doesn't care what they call it. Food for thought

I bet it will be a lot closer to the Ultimate Inferno than the Raging.

It's gonna be a TON stronger than the Blazing.  And hopefully it's not like the Blazing, that ball flat out sucks.

I was told last year that Lane 1 would not be able to use the activator coverstock for I think 6 months to a year.  That is why I am 90% sure it is the original activator cover.

The original Activator cover was NOT a pearl. This was hashed and rehased for awhile in the coverstock prep forum some time ago.

The ball is significantly stronger than the Blazing Inferno so have no fear.

The cover is not the cover from the Ragin Red Fuze....the cover on the Cherry Bomb was a lot closer to that one.

The ball is meant as a new and improved ball that is said to roll like a Pro Purple but be as versatile as the Blueberry. I was told by a rep that it is "a Pro Purple with more reaction on the back 1/2 of the lane."

The ball is going to rev early due tothe low RG and then be smooth dow the lane with a strong but not overly snappy move to the pocket.

The balls will be delivered late next week, early the following week. Just in time for your sweetie to get you one for Valentines day!!!!

C'mon guys.....let's go after that angle. It has to work....right???

Well if it is like a stronger backended Pro Purple, I am in.   I carry two of them in my bag, now.

I suspect it is likely to go longer and have a lot stronger backend.

Does anyone realize how futile all this guessing is? Why not just wait and see what the ball winds up being?

I would like to have an Uranium, but I don't know where it would fit in with my Emerald and Golden Nugget as they cover with authority, from very-very light oil to medium oil. I haven't had anything heavier than medium to try the Nugget on, yet. Since, the Uranium isn't out yet, no one definitely knows what conditions it will and will not work on or if the ball will hit as well and as hard as the Emerald and Nugget. I just don't feel comfortable buying an unseen and untested ball thet has  not been used yet by the everyday league bowler. Does anyone see my point here and any advice from anyone?

I was speaking with my sales rep today and he honestly feels that the Uranium will be the #1 selling Buzzsaw ever. He said the Nuggets continue to sell well as do the Cherry Bombs but he tells me that the Uranium is about the best bal lhe has ever thrown for conditions ranging from the lighter side of medium to the lighter side of heavy.

Of course the conditions for use depend an awful lot on your own personal game, the oil pattern and where you want to play on the lane.

I am in on this one. I will be calling in my order in Thursday morning. ANybody wanting to get in on the preorder special of $169 plus shipping needs to contact me with payment info by Wednesday evening.

Uh, I guess I do. I think this here ball is the coolest looking one yet. But...I am gonna hold off til somebody(one of us regular cats)actually uses one. Is this the third 'most versatile since the BB' ball? man, I lost count LOL! Ya know, I would buy one if it were really true but I dont see it happening....but thats just me.

Why dont those cats...*DELETED DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT*....!
