Sorry Jabroni but you are incorrect Lane# 1 does indeed make their own cores and ship them to brunswick which in turn pours their covers around them.  Thus the slight increase in cost due to seperate shipping of their cores to brunswick's facility's.

every time I see someone use the core shipment as the excuse for the price I want to scream!


Has no one every heard of Freight transport!

the cores are only 3 or 4 lbs. you can send a lot of cores in a split transport and cost would be minimal.

someone must work at  a shipping department here, they can chime in.

I thinking with a decent qty. they are probably a buck!

I said slight increase because I don't think their prices are that much higher or any higher If I find a good deal.  I was told this by someone else and I am not trying to make excuses, It is my understanding the cost is increased due to the fragile nature of the cores and the extra precautions taken to ship them safely.  You can't just go throwing their cores in one big box and ship them where ever you want would be my take on it. I could be completely wrong in this matter.

Yes, OmegaBowler you are right it would probably only cost them a 1.00 -1.50 to ship them from a semi, if it is instate or depending on how far they are being transported it shouldn't cost more than 2.00 - 3.00.  I can send a instate pallet up to 500lbs for 50.00 were I work.  Out of state is a little more.  That shipping cost is not enough for them to charge what they do for their bowling balls.  That is just my opinion though, I have never been a fan of Lane #1.

Who gives a sh*t about what the cost is of making Lane 1 balls. They are going to charge what they want to charge for their balls regardless of what the manufacturing cost is.

there you go brick! Capitalism. not excuses!

I'm just tired of the mindless sheep that make comments that spew back un-educated 2nd hand statments like they know what's going on behind the curtain.

it costs what they want it to cost and there is nothing more to it! stop making excuses for a company that you buy from,unless you have stock, then that would be Capitalism, dis-honest but still capitalism.

I work at a shipping center and even if they shipped them fed-ex ground or ups ground it would be about 4 to 6 dollars max. It is not a shipping issue.

Wow, you guys are terrible anyway I am not a mindless sheep and I do not pretend to know whats going on i simply heard that from a person whom i trust.  I like lane# 1 and I don't care what they charge.  I like them simply because i like them, not because I think they are better or because I think they carry better I just like them.  Do they make better balls maybe, maybe not. Do they make good balls, well at least for my game yes, maybe not for everyone.  I like them because they are one of the "little guys" meaning of course a smaller company.  I also like Morich a lot for this same reason.  I like balls form the big boys too but i throw lane#1 because thats what I like to do.

I'm not going to get into this .. but WHY is it so upsetting to SOME when PRICE is mentioned relative to LANE 1? There isn't too much more to talk about. Their bowling balls are like all other companies (good for some bowlers on SPECIFIC conditions) and then you have PRICE (which is MUCH higher then other companies). Doesn't it seem logical that when bowlers get into a discussion on LANE 1 that PRICE will eventually come up? I think you'd be fairly STUPID to not NOTICE the PRICE DIFFERENCE! If bowlers come on here and want to say that they think the balls are OVERPRICED .. let them! When they say something that's NOT RIGHT then it's time to JUMP on them! I buy LANE 1 BUT THEY ARE OVERPRICED. Incidentally .. the question originally asked has been answered ..
