Picked this ball up off of volley_man used. Threw it for a while and decided to slap on the rico drill just to test it out.

Reaction
First time out with this ball after being redrilled rico was a success. It was very even rolling and had a nice strong arc backend. Not the snap it had on the previous drill. I was unaware, however, that there was carrydown present and this ball just powered through the stuff like it wasn't there. Just tamed down the backend slightly. The hit and carry is out of this world during that first experimental period and I was able to string 17 strikes-in-a-row. That hooked me.
Besides looking sweet going down the lane with the red and yellow logos, the ball, on fresh oil w/ no carrydown, still wanted to snap pretty good. Much more controllable yet still had a very strong backend. This is my first Lane1 ball and it certainly will not be my last. That much I can tell. Those looking for a strong ball with a strong backend in the Lane#1 products should give the Hybrid Dirty Bomb a try.
