Opinions on Enriched Uranium
« on: April 25, 2007, 04:00:21 AM »
Hello everyone,

Just wanted to know the opinions of users of Enriched Uranium.
How you drilled the ball?
When you use the ball?
The kind of ball reaction you are getting?

Hopefully some of you guys will be able to shed some more light into the ball for me. Thanks in advance.

mine was pretty much over/under reaction oob
it became controllable when I hit it with green scotchbrite
to remove the shine, then polished it with 3M Rubbing Compound

I sold it after a while as there was too much overlap
with my pearl cherry bombs.

Yes, The 3m rubbing compound makes all the diff on the ball, In fact that is all i use on all my balls is compound............

i think its a lane #1 classic benchmark ball.....my fav drilling for this ball is pin below the ring finger, cg then kicked out about 1-2 inches ...good length and massive recovery on backend..i throw hard,17mph, and this ball always comes back....would always be in my bag for any tournament!

I think it's something we should prevent the terrorists from obtaining!

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...

One of the best bowlers in my area saw me with Lane #1 equipment and mentioned he used to throw an EU. He said it was an awesome ball but died on him pretty fast. I'm not sure if that's typical.

first time I heard that.
did he/she performed any hot bath/scotchbrite thingy?

anyways, I find scotchbrite pads to work well with particle balls
as it does not hurt the particles - JMHO.

Thanks for all the info guys. I drilled my EU today as how i mentioned previously. Logo at 10 o'clock, Pin on right of RF and a balance hole.

Played 6 games with it and scored 206, 218, 198, 187, 182, 190. Its pretty good considering I've only been bowling for 6 months. I did find the ball quite speed sensitive at first but once i got a little used to the way the ball would swing it was great. Each game i played different lines. 10/10, 12/10, 10/5, 14/10, 12/8, and 15/10 which wasn't soo good cause i had to really work hard to rev the ball to make it come back. So far first 6 games with the ball and fairly happy with it.

Though I still think my hrg hits harder, maybe just need to run in the ball, its still in oob condition. The hrg has had about 4 months of play on it the surface is probably a little bit more dull than the new EU.

Thanks for all the info guys. Love the URANIUMS!

Thats news to me, I have never had any lane 1 ball die, and if you bake it, bathe it and stay on top of ball maintenance you should never have an issue, In fact, I am the second owner of mine, And i Have never noticed a decrese in performance

The ball kind of has a love/hate relationship. I've seen more negative opinions about this ball than anything else Lane#1 has made, except for maybe the Cranberry. I know two guys with them and they both hated it.  


Strider: LOL! The Cranberry and the EU are two of my favorite Lane#1's, and I have many.

As far as the EU, there is nothing inherently 'touchy' about the ball. I think pearl/particles in general are more condition specific than their solid counterparts, but when you have a good lane condition match, the EU is about as good as it gets.

After having the other Brunswick covered Uraniums (Pearl & Solid), I was surprised at the look the EU provided. The EU has alot of potential backend, so drill accordingly. I have mine with the pin on the center grip directly below the fingers, with the CG kicked to the right. X-hole on PAP.

Enjoy the ball. If you're getting it for free, that's an added bonus.
