    Because of the core, this ball does the job on the driest lanes and still retains hitting power. The ball doesn't deflect on pocket hits and kicks out the ends well. It gives crankers an opportunity to stay within thier game when the lanes don't matchup with thier style. Med oil + will force this ball into spare shots only. There is no recovering "flip" just a smooth arc so if it hasn't turned at 40 feet it wont turn at all. It has great carry for a plastic and still has that classic lane #1 sound. If you carry a spare ball in your bag, you may want to consider shelling out the bucks for this one as it will help you more than a white dot, target zone, and the other plastics will.<scrip

    this ball its great hits very very hard and goes tooo wayyyy long this ball its great for hig reving players looking for a very controlable versatile ball for medium-dry lanes or for house shot !! when i buy this ball i think that ball it was just for the 10 pin and other weak spares and splits but one day in the bowling alley the lanes where very dry and all my balls where hooking to much and i decided to try with this ball and kabooom 10 strikes in the game that i used fr a 279!!! great ball on medium oil if you want a down and in line play very controlabe hits very very hard !!!! great for the 10 pin and spares and splits this ball its very expensive but the money isnt very important because youwill never miss a spare with this ball again

    Now this one is not my ball it is a friend's who felt like spending some money, I would never do this. I have always wondered if a plasitc ball with a 2 piece performance core will actually make any difference in reaction. Visionary tried it with the Amulet, but that did not recieve much attention. The XXXL has a lower RG and higher differential than the Amulet which is why it is as popular as it is. When I was bowling on the dry shot with my Mercury, my friend used the plastic Buzzsaw. It is time to see what is better, a 2 piece, medium-low flaring, high RG, mild pearl reactive, or a 2 piece, medium-low flaring, medium RG plastic ball. Before I begin, I must mention that the Mercury has a weak high pin layout while the XXXL has a max hook leverage drilling layout. When comparing these two on a dried out shot in every part of the lane, the XXXL was more controllable. It went down much easier than the resin and still had very good carry. This plastic ball carries better than

    Why didn't any other company think of this before? The versatility of this ball is uncomparable and its purpose is simple - a spare ball that can be used as a surrogate strike ball in dry conditions. The diamond core terrorizes the pocket like we've come to expect from Lane #1 and the plastic cover will have you picking up the annoying outside pins like a pro with a huge margin of error. In less than a month, this ball has improved my average by over fifteen pins. Use it sparingly, but it's the best emergency ball to have in your bag.

    Got this ball to replace my spare storm. Didn't even gawk at the price of the ball, because this one will last longer than the reactives we all usually buy and you strike for show and SPARE FOR DOUGH, so I know this will bring me money back. Had to say I was excited to have a plastic with some guts in it. Too many times I shot at a spare and the ball deflects off the shot cause of its pancake block. Not this one!! Powers through and takes all the pins. Excellent dry lane ball as well since I am a cranker and dead dry is my enemy. Bowlers with a lot of hand, get this ball

    16 pounds Top Weight: 2.5 oz Pin out: 3-4 inches Factory Surface I have been drooling at the thought of a plastic ball with a dynamic core. When I heard that Lane #1 was going to put one in production, I jumped right on it. I needed a new spare ball, but more importantly I needed something to get through torched lanes that I run into occationally at tournaments. I recieved my XXXL and immediatly drilled it up. I figured I only live once so I stacked the ball 3 3/8" strong. Had to put a 1" hole on my axis to take it back to to 1/2 positive. This is a technological wonder. I took it out on conditions that weren't ran in a week, oil was no where to be found on the lanes. I was able to stand on 20 hit 10 at the breakpoint without loosing pin carry or having the ball over hook on me. I was in awe. Even shooting my 10 pins or other various spares, the XXXL rolled very true and dead on straight. Here's a quick story about my XXXL..... About a week after I drilled my XXXL up

    The ball has 3 oz top weight and 3 inch pin out. I had it drilled with 3/4 oz side weight and 3/4 oz finger weight with the pin to the right of the finger holes. The diamond's orientation is facing 45 degrees to the right , toward the pin, which is about an inch and a 1/4 to the right of my ring finger. I throw the ball about 18 -19 mph and am between a tweener and a cranker. I am trying to have less axis tilt off my hand with the same amount of revolutions, and I will try to work on it this summer. I believe under most conditions a rolling, end over end ball is the best to score consistent and well. When the lanes dry out, my ball breaks too hard right to left, so I was looking for something that would hold. And boy did I ever find it. This ball is pure hold and awesome power on dry conditions. I used the ball today on unoiled, dry lanes and I was able to play a straighter line to the pocket than anyone else playing around me. I usually have to belly the ball from the 4th ar
