Do any of the pros use lane 1 ball? If so who?

DreadPirateRoberts · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2004, 08:58:02 AM »

another topic hijack by the Lane one Cult.

nowhere did the guy ask about Lane 1 or it's price. He just asked who is throwing it.

Then you have Dave.. let me tell you that statement was the most uneducated thing I have ever read from you. the greatest bowler of all time wants his fair market share and that is the business of sports. it not a game to them, it feeds thier families. when you find the magical fairy godmother to grant you that deep wallet so you can just take balls for free and travel the tour, then by all means give us a special wave when you win you 10th title in a row using a buzzsaw.

oh!, wait, maybe you don't have the talent to compete with big boys and think a ball can do it for you! yeah that's it.!

how insulting to professionals. that would be equivalent to some high school kid saying if he had a pair of Nike's and a real Jersey he would be the scoring leader in the NBA.

It's the bowler not the ball!

as for one type ball being better on tour and another on league night. NOpe.

On a THS I pretty sure that with the right drilling and surface prep. 90% of the balls made will work. I would say most med speed strokers may have a tough time with plastic. so, to say a buzzsaw matches up more for the average bowler, like I have read in many threads in the past as well, is a Joke.

of course the cult is like the wall and common sense nor logic will be able to breakthrough.

that was not a direct reference to you sorry. it was more inclusive of many response in heated threads that always' pop up whenever Lane 1 is reference or unnecessarily added to another topic.

For fun look through Lane 1 posts and you see thing like( paraphrasing a little)

Lane one suites more people with hand. lane one suites more people with less revs. Lane one suites more typical bowlers, they will raise your avg by ten pins
,... etc.. etc..

every reason is given under the sun why they are better by the Cult from this board. yes I have thrown them and they are good. Just as good as any other ball. but shhhh, don't tell them that. it's like cursing god in church.

I know for a fact what lane 1 wholesale is. If you go to an honest pro shop you won't pay more than $220 for any in the line. It isn't the company that is dishonest, it is many of the pro shop operators. JUst as an example, local shop here in NC charges $250 and up for saws, I go to a shop in SC and get the same balls at a max price of $220. Around here, you find 2 kinds of shop very reasonable and ripoff artists, there is no middle ground. Local shop here was charging $240 plus drilling for the Freak when it 1st came out. If we're gonna discuss unreasonable pricing let's talk pro shops then. I've seen Lane #1's wholesale as I said and Ritchie and the guys aren't the problem, the shops are.

Jabroni- fact, putting perfume in a ball doesn't make it hook more.
- fact, you are annoying
- fact, you claim Lane 1 is no better then anyother company, then
claim that perfume ball company storm is the so great
- fact, you are annoying
- fact, i met this guy, whom heard from a real live pro, that in real
life, the pro said that his sister over heard a guy (she thinks
it was a guy buy the tone and pitch of his voice) that lane 1
balls work better for some people and thats why they throw
them.

Who cares whether the PBA pros throw them

Since everyone is obviously to infatuated with arguing, i think you should realize.........The person who started this does!!! That's what he was asking.....I'm not sure if anyone even answered the question, maybe they did.......

To Lane 1 Users: You like their products, buy them, that's great. But remember, we don't want to hear about how great they work, and all of that.

To Lane 1 Haters: Buy other products and use them. You're not buying Lane 1, why should you care about their price? They could make them $800, and it would make no difference to you.

I use Brunswick, Hammer, and I've tried Storm and Ebonite. I'll use anythhing that works....so I'm not biased towards anything.

jabroni, with all due respect to your bowling expertise, you once again try to impose your opinions on people as being FACTS. yet again, your posts ring hollow.

you're absolutely correct about walter ray. he should be paid well for his endorsement and use of a product. richie's supposed offer of equipment only couldn't have been a serious offer, only a stupid answer or an indication that lane #1 couldn't afford to pay for wrw's services.

once again, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE COST INFRASTRUCTURE OF LANE #1 BOWLING COMPANY!!!!! to continue to state otherwise is an effort in ignorance on your part.

stick to the FACTS. share your knowledge, state your opinions, fine. but quit blowing smoke up our butts.

Why not? We, who have won tournaments with Lane 1 products, are not selfish. We want others to benefit as well. To those who have not used Lane 1 balls, why not try it? If they do not work for you. Then it is just too bad that you have not harnessed the great carry and control that we all liked about Lane 1. Since we have been rewarded by using Lane 1, we will keep using them when it counts. As for me, I continue to look at other balls just to see what other companies have to offer. I do not subscribe to an exclusive Lane 1 patronage. It is only because they work for me that I continue to use them.
As for pros using Lane 1 not being used on tour, this has been discussed numerous times, Lane 1 does not offer incentive money. And people should not kid themselves, the pros can win with anything. Walter Ray has won with Hammer, Columbia, Dynothane and now Track.

No one really cares. I get my Lane #1 balls much cheaper than I can a Big B ball at the local Proshop. I mean 245.00 plus tax and Slugs for an Ultimate Inferno.. ROFL.. I paid 190 for my Uranium. Guys, do some shopping I'm sure price is all relative.

This is the type of comment I can't stand when it comes to the Lane#1 cost debate. Please stop comparing an online price to what a brick and mortar shop charges for a ball, which usually includes drilling and grips. You have people like Nizzo (I think) using a family discount and a gift card and telling us the price he paid. If you bought the ball from Doug Sterner, Drillwizard, or Bean's, at least give us their price of a Buzzsaw compared with another high end ball. Both prices alone, or both drilled and out the door.

King and Rockbowler:

Sorry if I came out wrong. I wasn't talking about people like you. You're right, you should be able to say how you like it. But I was referring to the pyschos who talk about superiority and that Lane 1 matches up better than anything else and all that crap....

I don't mind people talking about how brand X works for them, just as long as the say them. I hate when people state their opinions as facts.

On that note, let me say that Brunswick and Hammer balls hit harder than anything else.

Got an interesting message in my box from jabroni calling me an idiot. I guess that's the status you get when you disagree with him. Sadly, he has become the 1st person on my ignore list. Lane 1 pricing is not as cut and dry as antisaw people like him want you to believe. There are discount programs for high volume shops, as well as, new equipment discounts. For example, the Golden Nugget went to the local shop here at introduction at a special rate of $129. This is the same price or cheaper than many other particle balls. Granted, the price to buy from the shop was $190, but this is hardly the $250-$300 that some have mentioned. Now, there is a way to get them that high, it's called the Lane #1 guarantee, it's only on carbides. If, for any reason you don't like the ball you have 2 weeks and they will either give you a new ball or a refund. This warranty does make the price $300. People like jabroni are bad for this board because if you disagree with him he lashes out like a 2 year old. If you don't like Lane 1 I could care less, but I don't go in the other company boards and bash them, so extend me the same courtesy. As many have said, Lane #1 backed this site while scott ran it for many years. They also sent a few folks free balls. Would the other larger, wealthier companies do this? No. Lane #1 is not only my ball of choice, they are my company of choice.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Amen. Lefty is correct. And let me add:

Everytime there is commotion on this board about Lane 1 balls, Jaborni starts it. Jaborni did start out real nice with his first post this time and I even thought.... "hey, he is trying to be normal with common sense"... but after that first post he could no longer contain himself and as Lefty said, he started lashing out like a 2 year old child. Jaborni even lashed out at T-God twice and T-God has not posted anything nor said anything. Any time anyone disagrees with Jaborni he's going to lash out and bash them, calling them idiots, morons, cult members, and the like. He tries to give off the impression that no one knows squat about bowling balls except himself. He accuses people of "hiding behind their computer screens" but he must be ducked down so low behind his that he doesn't notice that it is himself that is hiding behind the computer screen.

Face it, Jaborni dislikes Lane 1. Thats the bottom line. If that wasn't true, Jaborni wouldn't even bother to ever open his mouth about Lane 1.

Jaborni critizes every thing he can about them. Why does it bother Jaborni that Lane 1 still uses the Diamond Core? Why does it bother Jaborni that Lane 1 only tweeks their cores such as adding one diamond, two diamonds, denser core, and etc. Why does it bother Jaborni that Lane 1 doesn't come out with different cores or erotic cores that look like a piece of art sculpture?

Why does it bother Jaborni that Lane 1 keeps using the same cores and only changes the covers?

Why does it bother Jaborni that Lane 1 charges more for their balls when according to Jaborni the balls cost the same as others to make. Why does it bother him? The people that use Lane 1 balls are not complaining so why does this bother Jaborni?

From time to time Jaborni indicates that Storm balls are better, best, or what ever. Yet no one dares say the same about Lane 1 balls or else he will start throwing a fit and start lashing out like the 2 year old Lefty indicated.

To sum it up, why does Jaborni care about anything concerning Lane 1?
He doesn't use them. He doesn't stock them. He doesn't even sell them unless it is demanded by the customer. So what is his problem with Lane 1? Could it be Jealousy of some sort?

Jaborni, I stand by every thing I said. If you want to continue to be in denial, that is your problem. You have admitted thru out your answer to my post that you feel the way about Lane 1 that I said you do. I really feel sorry for someone like yourself that has that much hatred inside of them about something like you do. I would even be surprised if you can sleep well at night carrying that kind of hatred around inside yourself all day long every day of the week.

How Lane 1 runs their business is not your concern. Whatever cores and material they use to make their balls and who ever makes them is not your concern. The costs of what it costs to make their balls is not your concern. The prices they charge per ball is not your concern. How they go about doing business is not your concern. How much profit they make is not your concern. The bottom line of this is that they are a very-very successful company regardless of whether you like it or not. And all of your whining and complaining isn't going to change a thing, so you can either accept it like it is or get out of the pro shop business and make a living doing something else.

As for Lane 1 pricing their balls to you for $169, I would charge you a high price too if you constantly whined and complained and putting my company down like you do them as I wouldn't even want to do business with you. I don't know this, but maybe if you changed your attitude, they might want to give you better prices.

Let me ask, if you had a neighbor living next door to you and you hated him bad, would you:

1. Fight with him every day?
2. Move because you couldn't stand him?
3. Accept him like he is and ignore him pretending he doesn't exist and go about your everyday business.

This is the same 3 choices you have with Lane 1.
