What ball is the Pro Buzzsaw? Is it the Teal?
« on: January 24, 2006, 07:28:19 AM »
I have an older Lane 1 ball and all it has on it is Lane #1 and Pro-Buzzsaw.  Its a turquoise in color (maybe teal) but thats it.  

Thanks.

Yes, that sounds like the teal. It should have half a sawblade, say pro-buzzsaw, serial & made in USA. It also probably has a Lane#1 Inc label on it.

Thats it Sawuser.  I wasn't sure. I had it lying around so I plugged it and put my new span and picthes in it and put a little 3M compund on it to see what it will do.

Thanks again.

I believe Sawuser is incorrect.  See My teal below:

The isn't any markings on the ball that say "Pro"  Might this be another on of those overseas balls?  The only Buzzsaw that I know of with "Pro" Marked on it is the Pro Purple.

The color of my ball is not the same and where your ball says Buzzsaw mine says Pro-Buzzsaw and on the left of the ball there is a full circle buzzsaw blade with the letters PRO in the middle of the circle.  It does say made in the USA though.

Thanks.

Got me, I just don't think it's the Teal, or atleast not the original like mine...  Oh and I forgot about the Comet Pro, but that one was blue.  Do you have any PICs?

I have a Pro Purple, so its not that I'm sure.

I wonder if its a Pro Comet but I thought that ball had Comet engraved on the ball somewhere.  It is almost a blue green.  Not a solid color.  Its marbleized with the darker color blue/green being more prominet and then a light blue green swirl. All the lettering is in yellow.

Sorry I don't have pictures.

there are a few Pro-Teal's floating around out there. Sounds like you got one. I don't have specifics on it, but I would imagine it would be similiar to the Pro-purple. Meaning some type of particle load wrapped around the original diamond core. I believe it was a test-type ball, might have been the test ball for the Pro-purple. Whether or not that is true, I have no clue. I was just throwing that out there. You can go over to the lane 1 site and post something on there and Richie can answer that for sure.

The Pro-Comet was more of a blue, and yes, it would say Comet.

or just ask buzzman(who works at lane#1) or rudyrevs over at BBE.(probably faster than using their website since he visits everyday)

The Teal is a resin coverstock(no particles) & it is teal green in color. The original purple was also a resin with no particle load & then they came out with the pro purple which is a particle pearl resin.
--------------------
Here is a picture & the specs, but this particular ball does not have PRO_BUZZSAW written by the half blade. Probably just a variation from batch to batch, but it's the same ball.

Here is another picture from lane one retired section & if you look close, you can see PRO-BUZZSAW under the half blade.

or...it could actually be like the pro-purple and have a particle load. Which I believe it is.
