Is Lane #1 making a comeback? I see they are making a Crystal Bomb.

I saw on Facebook that they are making a batch of the clear w/blue core spare balls (maybe for sale soon).  Based on comments made by Lane #1 (on the Facebook post) it sounds like they are trying to make a comeback.

I hope they adjust their pricing otherwise they aren't going to survive. $169+ shipping on the Crystal Diamond. I hope if they bring stuff back, its not off that price schedule. High end balls will still be $250+

$169 + shipping for what amounts to a "boutique"/limited production batch is not horrible.    Storm/Roto have a $129 MSRP on their clear spare balls and they are producing way more of those than Lane#1 is of the Crystal Diamond.  OTB bowling charges $189 for their custom plastic balls.  Lane#1 is right in the mix pricing wise.

so are you saying that their pricing will be more in line this time possibly?

Still more than everybody else. If the batches are going to be small like this then prices are for sure significantly higher.

It will be interesting to see if they can get anybody stateside to pour balls with reactive shells for them. I wouldn't call it a comeback until then.

Not made in USA for those who kinda care

I'm not sure any clear bowling ball can be made in the USA. Something about the materials involved being against regulations here. No idea if that's true, just what I've heard.

Plastic bowling balls are made in Mexico or China/Korea region.

So it's not just the clear material then. Must be the polyester in general. Interesting.

EBI was the only one that made low end plastic in USA...
