As to cost, WHO CARES! It is the individuals choice as to what they want to spend, and on what! If Colombia, Storm, etc., etc, decide to put a suggested retail price on ANY of their balls at $500.00 it is up to each and every one to decide IF they want to pay it.

Lane1lefty- you state:

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.

Well, let me set one thing straight here. Yes, Lane 1 did sponsor this site, and I appreciate that. Yes, I have seen them give away a few balls. But other companies DO so as well! ROTO GRIP came through for the NY State Volunteer Fireman with more than just "a few balls" to assist us in fundraising at last years state tournament! I will not go into what Lane1 and Ritchie did for us, because it was said in past posts. But let's just say, they DID NOT come through after a face to face meeting and a handshake!

Personally, I will never bash a Lane1 user, but I know of no NY State Volunteer Fireman, including many that are also paid like FDNY, that knowing of what transpired will ever have that equipment in their arsenal.

May everyone always carry those pesky corner pins, regardless what companies equipment you use

Rockbowler It's funny how Lane 1 users contradict themselves so much, it's hilarious. You speak of control....why did most in the Lane 1 forum say nothig of the last two balls outside of their very hard backend move? I'm sure you're going to say that they are a "controlled hard move".

You say so casually that "if they don't work for you, that's too bad". Everytime someone posts a disgruntlement with a ball in the lane 1 forums, there are a couple of responses blaming the driller. Lane 1 balls are not game in a box, they won't make you better. Sure they can raise your average, but so can any other ball that is matched up right. If you think that bowling league on a wall is actually bowling, and an average is a gauge of how good a player you are, then you have a LOT to learn.

Since I was one of those you singled out, I will reply. I have won two amateur tournaments with Lane 1 and my friend placed second in a national amateur tournament. This is the main reason why I use Lane 1, because it works for me. Also, most bowlers that we know are now Lane 1 converts and I have not heard of anyone go back to another company once they use Lane 1. We were the first ones in our area to use them but now the secret is out. If some people have really used Lane 1 and say that it does not work for them, then it is too bad. They are the exceptions. I like the Lane 1 carry and control. What good is explosive carry if the ball is uncontrollable? Are we exclusive Lane 1 users? Of course not, I still look and buy other non-Lane 1 balls if I think that the balls will be good for my game. I also agree with you that I have a lot to learn. Instead of bashing Lane 1. Why not use their balls instead of your stormy preferences? Maybe you will like it and you will become a buzzsaw fanatic. And I have a lot to learn as you said but what bowling really is to me is how well I do in tournaments. This to me determines how I measure up and I love that challenge. I only bowl league to have some fun.

Several people have ask this question and Jabroni has answered

They have always matched up good for me and I am on staff, so I support them.

I have never read where Jabroni has "gushed" over them, he sings praise for them yes, and why shouldn't he? They see enough in him to give him a ball contract and thus help support his quest to succeed in bowling.
