Lane #1?!?!?!
« on: December 19, 2003, 03:53:05 PM »
Theres been some controversy with the "Lane #1" products, mostly caused by the user "notacranker". I just want to state that I have never owned or used any "Lane #1" balls and that the only experience I have had with them has been disappointing, the first time I saw someone bowl with a "Lane #1" ball was In one of my monday night leagues were the bowler was using a "Cherry BOMB", the bowler spun the ball more so then reving it and just chucked the ball down the lane and hoped for the best, the second I saw a "Lane #1" ball used it was on a competition at my house, a left handed female bowler was using a "Super CARBIDE BOMB", the ball hooked a lot and looked really strong but it hit like a sloppy pan-pake.

NOW DONT GET ME WRONG, I in no way dislike "Lane #1" balls and I am currently think of buying one but the reason I brought this topic up is because I know that some "Lane #1" balls use "Brunswick" covers and that there manufacted by "Brunswick" my question is why are they able to use coverstocks that I though where patented by "Brunswick"? I didn't think "Lane #1" was owned by "Brunswick" but if they are It would expain a few things...

P.S.  "notacranker" is a "Columbia" lover... So he must be retarded...

Lane#1 is not owned by Brunswick; they are a small company located in the Syracuse, NY area. They have a business agreement with Brunswick to have Brunswick manufacture their balls. They pay B'wick to use B'wick's coverstocks over Lane#1's own cores. AFAIK, all Lane#1 coverstsocks are Brunswick coverstocks; Lane#1 just uses their own names most of the time.

I doubt people like that actually buy the balls.  Just make things up to irritate people.

I have never owned a lane #1 ball so i'm just asking.If they use brunswick coverstocks and coverstock if about 70% of a balls reaction how can they be so much better than brunswick? I'm not trying to down them I'm just confused about the price diff for a diff core.


Business 101:
it's not just the different core, Lane#1 buys the ball from Brunswick after Lane#1 specifies how to build th eball. Brunswick is providing a service for which they charge Lane#1. B'wick is not selling their balls with a different core. Lane#1 has to buy it from B'wick and then Lane#1 has to have the ball shipped to their distributors.  Lane#1 adds their profit margin and the Lane#1 distributors, who are NOT the Brunswick distributors, add their profit margin, etc., etc.

Listen in Economics class next time.

20-40 a ball.... try 80-100.

swamp monster suggested retail 149.00
black cherry bomb suggested retail is like 259.00

Star, Mongo said "PAY" $20-$40 more and not retail for $20-$40 more. It doesn't matter what the retail price is. All that matters is what a person "PAYS" out of their pocket and that is exactly what Mongo said is "PAY." On your example of the Black Cherry Bomb, you can buy one today for $159 and not the retail price of $259. If you went out tomorrow and bought a new car and the suggested retail was $24,000, you don't and won't "PAY" $24,000. The same goes for the prices on bowling balls......Star, teenagers like you need to know what they are talking about before they go posting anything on this site.

Big Dave, contact Doug Sterner at DougsProShop@aol.com

He has the Golden Nugget on sale now for $149. Contact him now as I think the sale price is only good until Dec 31st or there about.
