I've never heard of Lane#1 up until about 4 months ago. What makes this brand so compatible to so many bowlers? I have a friend that bought his first Lane#1 ball a Uranium Pearl used from his driller, and now he swears by it. He will not buy any other ball from other company now. He owns like 5 now, Black Cherry Bomb, XXXL, Hybrid Dirty Bomb, Viper, and maybe a Tsunami coming his way. Another friend have a Black Cherry Bomb, and he doesn't want to throw his other equipment anymore. I was very intrigued myself too, so my girlfriend chipped in with a couple of friends and got me a H2O, and I love it. But I would still want to try other companies.

I'm not trying to start anything with other posters here, just something thats been in my mind. But what is it about this company that intrigued you into becoming a true Sawhead?

There is nothing special about their equipment that makes them better. A lot of bowlers match up well with them, and a lot don't. I am not saying that they are inferior, just that they are not superior either. I had a Uranium Pearl that I loved, but a Carbide LRG that I did not. If you match up well with the cores and covers, then the extra price tag is worth it.

After my friend got his U pearl, I got 2 Lane#1 myself.

That's only a span of 3 months.

DO NOT forget that they are the ONLY company that has advertised more 300s and 800s shot with their equipment. I would say that is "superior", which also seems to SCREAM that more bowlers than not, match up exceptionally well with their stuff. I would say the main reason is their unmatched cores, which are diamond shaped (in one fashion or another), which is geometrically sound, thus generates more stored energy, thus more power. I am no expert, but if you e-mail Lane 1, on their website, they will send you some scientific reasons their cores have more energy.

I've read that on a thread from Triggerman(by the way is an awesome person, gave me some really good advice). But like you said Saw Mill, after throwing their Lane#1, my friends can swear it was made for them.

uuhhh... I don't remember anyone saying that other company was inferior. Me personally would like to keep trying every company. I think every company makes good equipments, and as long as they keep making pearl reactive stuff, I would look into it. I'm currently looking at a smokin' Inferno, seen it in action and very tempting to get one. But so far, every Lane#1 I've seen has been a hit. But I think you're right, no company is more superior to another.

You talk about the people that work at lane one, the owner, the customer service, & I have to agree, a great bunch of people. I have never needed to test their customer service for equipment problems, but I did e-mail a question about coverstock prep & refinishing. At the time, unbeknown to me, they were unable to respond to my question because of a technical problem with my e-mail server. One morning the phone rang & it was a lane one rep, calling me from N. Y.(I live in california) to answer my question that I had asked. Talk about customer service, what other companies would go that far? The quality of the balls is nothing short of great, the coverstocks hold up great, I have never had one crack, & they suit my game & satisfy my needs. Why should I not use lane one? There's a whole lot more I could say, but I've rambled on enough. I hope you all have success at the lanes, I know I will!

I'll just touch on something trigger said....

Besides having equipment that matches up phenomanally well to me, the Visionary staff has been very helpful to me and their customer service was out of this world. Though I have never spoken with the Wonder's personally, I've had plenty of help from their staff when I needed it (especially Steve....thanks!!!) They made me feel like I was important and my questions and concerns mattered.

My father made a mistake once and thought the drilling instructions were missing to his Centuar. He wrote them an email asking them if they could send them. He recieved no less than four emails within hours from four different members of the Visionary Staff (James, John, and Jason Wonders in there) apologizing for the oversight and they would be sent immediately. Come to find out, they were in box. How my father missed them, I don't know. However, their friendly and immediate response brightened his day as he was expecting a much longer response time to his concern.

Wrongside, If the bomb core matches up with your game, you should like the HDB.
My daughter loves hers, but for me, the HDB didn't match up well. I have not used one diamond cored ball yet that I didn't like, but for me the bomb cores aren't doing a lot. I think it must be the flippier move on the backend with the bombs that give me a hard time. With the diamond cores, I get the good strong continuous move through the backend yet with control. I guess it just depends on you & your game!

I wish others ask like you ....

we had few who just come here and talk sh!t ...

I will add this to what others have said already
if lane1 matches with your game .. and another company matches your game as well ... I am 99.99% sure you will choose Lane1

I, for example, no matter what, will never use ebonite .. but I don't go to their forum and talk sh!t about it .. they like it, works for them .. good for them ...

one of Lane1 videos said: when a pin still standing ... keep watching ... and I found this to be very very very true .. and it is one of the reasons that makes lane1 unique

Thank you GTX, I don't like confrontations, and don't think arguing will change anybodies view on things.

I post this because it seems like more and more of the bowlers I see is throwing Lane#1 around my area. From not knowing about this company 4 months ago to seeing all of the latest equipment from Lane#1. I was just wondering why anyone who has throw one are usually hook. I'm hook myself, but don't want to limit myself.

I see why most are hooked now. Great Company, product, customer service, and users.

wrongside,

I said they were superior (which I have the right to that opinion), BUT I also said that they match up more often than they do not (I would dare say to more bowlers than any other company), which could imply that they are better, not to mention the physics aspects. The reason so many people seem to lean towards other companies (regardless of any possible superiority), would seem to be their complaints regarding the cost(as often screamed in the debates over Lane 1).

Also, the superiority would definitely be a result of the company's relationships with its users. As stated, most people do not know the names of people within the organization, BUT most Lane 1 users do, and have even talked with some. I have often called, and they (Richie and Chuck, and a few others) taken the time for questions, as well as personal conversation. I would like to see how many other bowlers can call Storm or Columbia, ask a few questions, and then just talk about general stuff, as well as when you mention your name, the person says, " hey Dave, how's it going". I would bet that Lane 1 knows more of their "average Joe" bowler, than any other company.

You seems to have been personally angered, just because of my position, but just as many bowlers have the right to say Lane 1 sucks, I have the right to say that they are the best. It would also seem reasonable that to be the best, you would have to be better than the rest, and being "better" would imply superiority. Sorry if you were offended, but none was intended towards you, or meant to imply any ill respect to you, whether you like lane 1 or not.
