Has any one been hearing there is going to be a slight delay in the release of the Uranium. Problems with Big B

I understand your hesitation Curly but let me tell you...my sales rep has not been this revved up about a ball since the Cherry Bomb Pearl came out.

He says that his Cherry Bomb, Nugget and everything else has sat in the bag since he started throwing his test ball.

I am thinking it's going to be fantastic. What I picture is the smooth roll of the Pro Purple with the backend and hit of the Blueberry. And I'll have mine Friday...WAHOO!!!!!

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 ball he has ever thrown for conditions ranging from the lighter side of medium to the lighter side of heavy.

Didn't they say that about the cherry bombs and golden nugget too? I hate when companies do that. We all know they have to tell us their new ball is great so we buy it, but lay off the hype.

I also agree with Curly. If you're a ball junkie or a member of the ball of the month club, go for it. Otherwise get some feedback before buying. When the green bomb came out, it was supposed to be the next best thing from lane#1. Turns out not that many people liked it. I haven't seen that many people singing the praises of the cranberry either. Core/coverstock matchup is very important. People do seem to like the golden nugget - different cover, better results.

Thanks Doug, lets hope this one really is what is said to be. I found the BB to hit like every other Saw I have tried. Great! Its backend hook was moderate. That was/is good enough for me. Look, I dont need some hook monster. Too much makes them condition specific and I am getting too old to lug around a passel of balls. LOL! I need something that has a consistent reaction on varying lane conditions. No surprises...just reliability. Two mini nuggets in a diamond core wrapped in solid PK18 was the best they made. Nothing flashy just a great ball. I mean, look at all the honor scores(on their website) tossed with the BB. Thats gotta mean something.....right? Maybe I will come over and see you toss this new one. Owego isnt that far.-Mike

Clumped,

The issue is if we all waited for feedback, no one would have one. Considering that this ball is probably the Activator Coverstock, and we know that many love that coverstock, I don't seen an issue with trying it out.

I don't remember hearing any hype about the GN being the best selling Buzzsaw, nor did I hear anything about the Cranberry, except that it was replacing the best selling buzzsaw ever.

One rep said he believe that it could be the best ever. Am I willing to give it a shot?? Hell yeah, sometimes, just sometimes, ya hafta take the leap and give something a shot... oh well it is nice to have money to burn.. ;-)

-IEQ

#1: Like I said, die hards and ball of the month clubs will buy them. I assume lane#1 provides some test balls for a few pros or top proshops. I know they don't comp a ton of balls because they don't have a big staff like other companies. There will be feedback for those that are a little skeptical. Also the inferno seems to have a bit of a love/hate relationship. I'm not doubting the longevity, but Hampster, BrianN, and others have seen a lot of people not getting good carry. Plus AGAIN, it's the core/cover matchup that's important. Lots of balls look good on paper, but don't work out. That's why I mentioned the golden nugget working better than the cranberry.

#2: I said golden nugget and cherry bombs, not cranberry. And I do remember hearing a lot of hype about these balls.

#3: One rep's endorsement doesn't mean much to me. I hope he likes it since he works for the company. I'm sure someone at columbia thought the orange dot was a great ball. Same with amf and the bone xs, storm and the skybolt... If you're willing to give it a shot because you've had success with lane#1 and you have money to burn on an unseen project, great. Not everyone wants to do that. Let the people riding the fence know how it works out.

I dunno, it sounded like an attack to me you lane 1 evangelist!!

I will wait until Icem gets his and watch him throw it before I decide if I will get it...wait, nevermind, every single Lane1 he throws hooks the same amount, no matter if its a BCB or the XXL

Maybe I will throw his and see how it goes. The only ball I have ever gotten and not seen thrown first was the Cherry Bomb and I lucked out on that one.

The way I see it, they have been right about 90% of their ads...

The XXXL is the best plastic ball ever made.

The Cherry Bomb did have more backend than any other BUzzsaw made

The Super Carbide Bomb will hook in even the nastiest of oil.

The Carbide bomb? ok yeah that was a dud.

The Cranberry is a big backend ball for those with the wrist to snap it off and if you dont drill it too aggressively.

The XXL is a great urethane but it did end up stronger than they wanted it.

From the specs I see it will match well for most people....

I've been reading through this thread and am intrigued by all the strong speculation that this ball is going to have the Activator coverstock (called "RadioActive" in the ad that's up on the Lane #1 site). I notice also that the RG and differential are both just slightly lower than the original Inferno. This ball sounds very interesting. I don't have any new information, but I sure am interested in this ball.

Just thought I'd bump this thread back up to the top to see if anyone has any new info on this new Buzzsaw Inferno. The last post was YESTERDAY! Come on, what's new TODAY?!!

I don't know...

Is the XXXL better than a gemstone, clear wolf, clear amulet, or grenade? Best ever made? How would you prove that? Could you prove that it would be better than a yellow dot in it's prime, on the oil used then? Probably best in current production, but that's not what you said.

I don't remember if the cherry bomb was advertised as having more backend than any other Buzzsaw? The ad says most powerfull reactive ball ever made. Another claim that can't be proved. Does the CB have more backend than a cherry or silver pearl? The CB probably handles more oil, but more backend than a silver?

Never seen a SCB, but it has a good reputation. Is it as good as a midnight scorcher, angle evolution tour... ?

Was the cranberry advertised as being a big backend ball? It is for clump, but Steven and Hamster say no. I also know clump and he can get anything to flip. I don't remember anyone else really liking the cranberry. I thought it was advertised as a benchmark ball, not a skid snap ball. I did go back and look at the ad. Had to save the stupid thing as a bmp file and rotate it just to read it. Ugh. It does say length and strong backend finish, but doesn't mention being their strongest. I also don't see a disclaimer about having big revs and weak drilling to get advertised results.

I haven't seen the XXL, but I have read it's a little strong. Not quite what people were expecting. Tha't my point about the uranium. It might be a great ball, but it could be another green bowm. Core/coverstock matchup. Again.

I would like to thank all the ones that DID answer my original question on a possible delay on the release of the Uranium !!!!!!!!

freedomrules3 · « **Reply #42 on:** February 04, 2004, 11:58:00 PM »

ok folks this is it as far as i know there isnt a delay but could be wrong. i wrote lane about the ball before preordering and here is what they wrote back.

Rick,

Thanks for checking out our website, hope you've enjoyed it. The coverstock is a pearl resin, RG 2.45, Diff. .043, hook rating 23, flare potential is 5". If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us again anytime by e-mail or phone 1-800-Lane No.1 (526-3661). Thank you for your interest.

Sincerely,
Lane #1

sounds like between a cherry and a nugget to me should be a winner. i have one on order and the guy i'm getting it from says it will be here friday. the cherry bomb has been very good to me

. in fact after buying it there are four people now using them in our house 2 cherry's and 2 super bombs. this new ball does have the older buzzsaw core but it is the densest allowed by the abc.

LeftE · « **Reply #43 on:** February 05, 2004, 12:09:33 AM »

SwiftRaven buzzsawed the correct on IceMQuicks Balls (that sounded gross, huh?)

Seriously IceM's balls all have the same exact hook. The only difference is the Golden Nugget hooks the most (by two boards), the Super Carbide Bomb never works (never enough oil), and XXXL doesn't hook.

The Green Emarld, BCB, Cherry Bomb, and XXL all cover the same exact number of boards. They are all drilled identical, and have slightly different break points. In order of most angular to least angular... GN, XXL with BCB and green emarld in a tie. The GN and XXL are about the same also.

The only problem is when the lanes are drying up, and the shots go heavy, lane 1, all the balls break way too much.

LeftE · « **Reply #44 on:** February 05, 2004, 12:10:13 AM »

That is why I forbid Doug to drill another label 1:30 drilling on any of IceMQuicks balls.

Doug Sterner · « **Reply #45 on:** February 05, 2004, 12:19:35 AM »

Sorry LEftE...I do as my customers ask...he wants 1:30 label he gets 1:30 label :-)
