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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

In regards to your customer service experience, Brian Purcell (back when he was with Ebonite) provided the same level.
Wrong Side, it may have been that way with Ebonite, but it sure isn't that way with Track. Let me give you an example of my recent experience with him......
I bought a Track Xception 5.0 a little over 2 months ago. The ball never worked for me from the first time I threw it. I sent an Email to Brian Purcel asking for help/advice------No answer----I sent a second Email----No answer----I messaged a couple of Track Staff members on this site and they tried to help, but the ball still never worked for me. Even on a good hit, it hits like a sack of mashed potatoes so I finally removed it from my bag and threw it into my closet.
I have come to the opinion that the ball doesn't match up to me......The point to all I have just said here is that Brian Purcel doesn't appear to provide the same type customer service for Track as the Lane 1 users say that Richie/Lane 1 does.

After trying newer stuff I tried Lane #1 and it carries ten pins better for me and gives me a better mix at the pocket on light hits. It made me go and buy all Lane # 1.
Am I saying that other companies make bad stuff???? Nope. They pretty much amke good equipment all around. It comes down to which company makes the right cover/core matchup for you.I'll never bad mouth another company,but fior me Lane#1 simply matches up to me better.

That is what I have said, just because I say that Lane 1 stuff is the best, is not saying that other companies make bad stuff. I have NEVER said that other stuff is crap, nor have I bashed any equipment from other companies, I have merely stated that there is nothing better than Lane 1. Other companies make "good" stuff, but Buzzsaws are the best
On one hand you have good or even great stuff, and on the Saw hand (I mean other hand) you have tremendously phenomenal stuff, LOL!!!Sorry B, for any misunderstanding, but maybe you are too easily irritated; maybe it is just the dark..., oops I mean leftside!!
