I will not say the exaggerated claims had nothing to do with it, but it was mostly the attitude of the fan boys that turned me off. As much as I enjoyed offering advice in the Lane #1 forum, I did not want to be associated with the nut-jobs. In my eyes, the guys at Lane #1 did nothing to discourage the outlandish behavior. Rather, they seemed to encourage it. Lane #1 makes good bowling balls. So do other companies. I have simply chosen to associate with guys who conduct themselves in a more professional manner.
