review, just saw the numbers, and the Uranium only gets
an overall hook rating of 40? I read that the Uranium
is a medium to medium-heavy ball; and that is from Lane 1.
The Activator coverstock is an aggressive one, right? I mean
the lowest Inferno number was 44 for the Blazing Inferno.
I was all set to get a Uranium, until I read this. Now I
am very confused.

The BTM review has me a little puzzled as well. When I read it, i did not think it was real accurate.

Only you know if you need something more than your ELement.
If you do, try an Anomaly. The Uranium is basically a Lane#1 Inferno. The ULtimate Inferno is also more than the Element. The Uranium is different than an ELement; it's not more or less, just different. Uranium is pearlized resin; Element is solid resin. Element handles medium to medium-heavy oil. Uranium should handle medium oil and up to medium-heavy, if you have more than average hand.

Brick, you're trying to tell me that you've even left a 10 pin with it? I literally haven't left one yet. that's just 15 games though, but this is my hardest hitting saw
Not to hijack the thread but King, I left every back row pin imaginable with the U-Saw and the four pin on good hits that usually carry else where.
I think this ball hits too hard for it's own good...

Nothing hits as hard as an Uranium

Whazzup with that? BTM says 47 for GN, Lane #1 says 24. Very confusing. I have a tendency to believe BTM's numbers. I can't remember the last ball I bought that was significantly different than tested by BTM. So, it appears to me that this ball will be (box condition) a light to medium condition ball. Except for the RG the U-Saws numbers are very similar to a Barbed Wire! This is not what I expected from this ball so this will not be my next saw and I already have a Barbed Wire.
Brick- BTM rated the Emerald at 42, Uranium 40. ( Lane #1 says 19+ and 23 respectively). With your self stated low revs, you must bowl on light oil conditions for your Emerald to hook hard, and I would guess same for the U-saw. I would think that the GN must be rolling out if it breaks LESS than those two. With medium or heavier conditions the GN should outhook the other two.

The problem lies in what people call "oily" and "dry". I've bowled on lanes that I was told were flooded and I hooked it plenty. The two people I've seen throw it are not the kind of bowlers I can get a read off of, or make an opinion about the ball itself. Every ball they throw does the exact same thing.
As long as YOU think it's a hook monster, that's all that really matters.

Hardest hitting saw, hardest hitting ball ever? Aren't these one and the same?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only Buzzsaw, the answer to your question is NO. I've had other balls that hit just as hard as a Buzzsaw, but the Uranium hits harder than any of those balls, so that is the reason for my statement that the Uranium is my "hardest hitting ball ever."....I now throw all Buzzsaws, but I am not going to sit here and say they hit harder than other balls from other companies, because they don't. The Uranium is an exception for me as it does hit harder than any other balls I have ever owned. I throw all Buzzsaws because they match up to me and my style than most ("most" and not all, but "most") other balls I have had.

As for my experiences thus far. My Emerald is drilled much more aggressive (4x4)than my Uranium (5-1/2x3-1/2) but the Uranium has a better look for me. My 4x3 Golden Nugget is a great ball as well but I have never seen a ball turn the corner like the Uranium. revs hard and then shoots off the dry...even with my drilling on it.
I would say BTM has some rerating to do.
As for BrickGuy's game....we worked hard on getting his stuff to work properly and he is in love with the Emerald and now the Bugget is working well for him but the Uranium is a different drilling for him than the others. Perhaps the drilling has a lot to do with what he's seeing.
Give one a try...the ball is awesome guys....

jjlamoroso,
What is it about the truth that so rubs you the wrong way? You can't handle the truth, relative or absolute, if it disagrees with your personal point of view. Is that it? Pity.
I emailed Lane#1 and they are the ones who said it was a resin pearl, not I. So you are calling your beloved Lane#1 experts "stupid" and a "liar". What does that make you?
- end of story.
