This is the 1st Lane 1 ball that I have owned and I am very impressed with the way the ball rolls - it kind of reminds me of of the old Quantums except it does not hit at all. I am lucky to carry 3 out of 10 pocket shots. This ball is also advertised as a Heavy oil ball but it really does not move a lot. That is definatly not it's biggest problem. I do want to try another Lane 1 ball because of how predictable this ball rolls, I just hope the next one will carry a lot better.

First of all this is the first Lane #1 ball that I have tried, at first I wasn't that impressed, but I was not using the ball on the wrong lane condition. The balls is in factory condition, and it works wonders in Heavy Oil and Med-Heavy Oil. In heavy oil i have to play a more straighter shot and this ball carries great. In the second game when the lanes start to open up I can swing the ball out, which I prefer and this ball carries a ton, even on light shots, very underrated ball. I am a Hammer Head but I am going to try another Lane #1 for Med to light oil.

I am glad that I bought this ball. I don't believe the carry that I get with it.. Carry strikes that I never carried with different balls. I have tryed most of the other's. Have about 40 sitting around the house and this is one that I will keep in the bag..... It carries the ten pin that I was leaving with my Strom X factor.... Never see a 7 pin because the carry is so great.... Wish that I would have bought this ball a lot sooner. I am carry a 209 average and never was over 170 before<scrip

I own 6 different Buzzsaws, and this is the only one that I can't figure out. I am a left-handed cranker, and this ball is just useless for me. I've tried different surface preparations and every possible line, but never get good reaction from the ball. If I hit it from outside, it rolls out incredibly early and hits like mush. If I play it inside, it usually over-reacts when it hits the back-end and runs for the right gutter. I get the same poor reaction on all lane surfaces and oil patterns. I never really liked low RG balls, but never had such bad performance as I get from this one

I can't believe how awesome this ball is. The carry is incredible, if it hits the pocket, they all go down. I've only left about 3 ten pins with it so far, and that's waaaay below normal. If you make a halfway decent shot, it will carry everything. It tends to be a little jumpy when you find dry, or miss inside. It LOVES playing the outside line, and I can't really describe the backend better than a sharp arc. It turns like it's going to snap, and then just drives through the pocket. VERY few backrow leaves. Haven't left a mixer 7 yet, very unusual for the house, mixer 7's are left a lot. I've left one 8 pin, and that's really a surprise for the house, it likes leaving those too. Left a couple 9's, but that's expected when a ball drives so hard, evenso, much less than I usually leave. Other than that, splits are a virtual no show, even on a bad shot through the nose. The ball sends pins flying all over the place. EXCELLENT ball. None better. Buzzsaw ROCKS!!!!

I bought this ball off the internet and i was kind of worried when it came 6 weeks later, and it had a 4-5 inch pin out and 4.5 ounces of top weight. I had it drilled thumb leverage, with the pin centered an inch above my fingers and a balance . This ball isn't the early roller Lane #1 says it is , it travels very far down the lane and then kicks it up in the backend with typical Lane #1 hit. I've thrown this ball on only oily conditions because you can't throw it in the dry. If you throw this ball on dry you wikll throw from the corner of the gutter out to the other gutter and you'll make 7-pins, if you're right handed that is.
