    the hybrid dirty bomb is a great ball for higher revving players in my opinion. i see players who have high revs strike left and right and shoot really high games. then i see other people who rev it a lot less and they suck butt and shoot crappy scores. i love my hybrid even though i love my cherrybomb a lot more. still though lane#1 put out another winner in the hybrid. so if you like lane#1 and especially if you like the regular dirtybomb go out and buy the hybrid and mutate your game. if you don't believe me check out their videos at Lane#1bowling.com.

    This ball hits so hard i dont think i can go back to anything else this ball is the reason why i like lane 1, i also like storm because of the backend.but this backend seems to be fine for me. It hits hard in the pocket and out of the pocket even for the best shot possible when the ball i threw was a little off. This is a great ball and dont dowt its power.this ball is great in any kind of lane conditions really. this ball can roll great and is easy to find your shot early on like in a tournament.

    I have some trouble moving this ball in oil. Or anytime. It goes and when it wants to it comes back otherwise see ya later 10 pin. This ball has some weaknesses but I frst got it drileld wrong then with a re drill it hooked more but I still struggled in the the back end. I could be throwing htis ball all wrong but I am definately not a big fan. I was looking at someone throwing the enriched urnaium bal and it hit like a plastic ball. I am not sure yet again if this was becuase he wasnt throwing right or was using it on the wrong condition.<scri

    The ball hits harder than anything I've thrown EVER!! Rips racks apart!! If you find the right angle you can say good-bye to the rack. This ball will leave you a lot of single pin back row spares if your not extremely accurate on your entry angle. This ball didn't hook as much as lane #1 advertised on there site, but still has flip. I can't wait for the newest release from Lane #1 its on the way to my house as i speak. The Super Carbide Bomb Sanded of course the polished version is not a legal USBC ball.

    The Hybrid dirty bomb is definatly the strongest bowling ball that I have ever owned. It hooked a lot on all kinds of shots but it worked the best on heavy oil through medium oil. It drove through the pocket like a truck. on oily sport shot this is what I reached for all of the time because it hooked on even the heavyest shots. The only dislikes are that you should clean it every night because it tracks up quickly and it tended to leave many nine pins and ten pins and dry lanes. This ball has great mid lane hook with a high backend reaction.<sc

    This also my first Lane 1 ball and i must say that i'm impressed. The ball was to agressive on the medium house shot so i had to polish it up to tame it somewhat. the ball hit like a freight train that jumped the tracks, harder than the ultimate inferno that i thought was the hardest hitting ball out there. Must have head oil to get the most out of this ball. I'm sold on Lane 1 i guess the solid uranium is next. Da bomb Da bomb Da bomb etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc et c etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc .

    The Dirty Bomb Hybrid is the best ball that I have ever bought. It was well worth the $175.00 that I got it off of Buddiesproshop for. It carries like no other. It truely does hit like a bomb. Another great ball from Lane #1. If you are looking to improve your medium to heavy oil game in an explosive way, then you should definally try the Dirty Bomb Hybrid from Lane #1 you will not be dissapointed. It is well worth the extra money. The coverstock of the Dirty Bomb seems to hold up very well. Mine has about 100 games on it and it is just as good if not better than the first day I got it. The core of the ball generates more pin action than any ball I have ever seen. I have thrown my second highest series(760) with this ball since owning it. I have also have thrown over 270 on three ocassions.

    I had this ball drilled up with a CG outdrill so it has a very strong midlane role and a big break point. This is a very good ball on medium 2 heavy oil but i would not use it on anythin different as it is 2 aggressive over all and tends 2 burn up on lighter oil patterns. On heavy to medium oil this ball works very well because of it midlane role and a sharp beak point and with this you are able 2 play the inside lines with ease and it has a lot of hitting power. I adjusted the surface 2 a high polished finish because the ball was loosing some of its power in the midlane but with this adjustment it got a touch more length and a lot more energy when it reached the break point which gave a sharper break point and with it already excellent hitting power creates a lot more pin action. This ball has lived up 2 its expetations but it is not meant for lighter oil which is where i use the new H2O. Over all it is a very good ball and it never leaves my bag although i do not always

    The ball is drilled with the pin and cg at 3 3/8 stack creating an earlier roll with a good midlane read. The pattern is a 43 foot wall to wall sport condition. This ball doesnt really hook THAT much in comparsion to others i keep in my bag for the shot, but it reads the lane so well and carries so good that some say the ball makes tough shots easier (within reason) giving you two boards error either way, however the the way the ball hits can creater some ugly leaves on bad shots (4,8,10 through the face and 4,5,8,10 when it doesnt come up) But as a whole the ball allows room for error on a tough shot. On normal house shots, the ball is basically a dud, being jumpy and difficult to control with spotty carrydown and dry heads.

    This is my first Lane #1 ball. I have heard all the "hype" about Lane #1 equipment, and had to find out for myself. Well, now I'm a believer. It is drilled with the pin over my ring finger, and the CG kicked out about 1 1/2". Added a weight hole even with my grip centerline, to bring the side weight back down to 5/8 oz. I can play almost any line on the lanes, and "lock in" a shot with a slight polish, or restore it back to a factory finish. No matter where I move n the lane, I get excellent pin carry with this ball. I am not afraid to move into the middle slush, as the ball has very good midlane roll. Even when tossing the ball wide into the dryer areas of the lane, it still has a very readable, and controllable breakpoiint. I highly recommend this ball to anyone, who like me, was on the fence trying to decide if its worth getting. Now that I have one, I have to try some other Lane #1 balls.

I played second arrow out to the 2&3 board on the right side on heavy oil. I expect many more great games to come!!!! Keep it up Lane#1!!! Lane#1 RULES!!!! Have Fun and Good bowling!!!

    I used to roll an old Columbia U2 ball and was struggling to get 600+ series. Now I am hitting over 650 every night I bowl and even when I practice. I am looking to buy another Lane#1 ball in the near future(Uranium). I had my ball drilled as a full roller and am very happy with it. I do have room to adjust my ball if needed because the way I had it drilled. My friends have never heard of this equipment; and now that they have seen this ball in action they are extremely impressed and want to invest their money in getting a Buzzsaw ball. Now all I am working towards is hitting my very first 800 series and hopefully getting my first 300 game.

    THIS IS THE FIRST LANE # 1 BALL I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. THIS IS AN EXCELLANT BALL FOR ALL MEDIUM CONDITIONS. I HAD MINE DRILLED 4X3 WITH THE PIN UNDER MY RING FINGER AND CG KICKED OUT. IT WEIGHED 16 POUNDS WITH 3 1/2 OZ OF TOP WEIGHT. PIN 2 INCHES OUT. OVER ALL I GAVE THIS BALL A 9 OUT OF 10. IF YOU PURCHASE THIS BALL I WOULD SAY STAY AWAY FROM EXTREMELY DRY CONDITIONS. I WISH I WOULD'VE HAD IT DRILLED LEVERAGE NOW. I MAY JUST BUY ANOTHER ONE JUST TO COMPLIMENT THIS ONE. LANE # 1 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND I'M EXPECTING GREAT THINGS FROM THIS BALL.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was looking for something I could play down and in with a flood that keeps the pins low to the deck (for corner pins) well this ball is the answer! On 41 foot oil pattern this ball reads the oil and arcs to the pocket with power I have never seen or heard before. An added bonus with this ball is when I hit the carrydown lanes or a dry shot you can actually move in add a bit more tilt to your release and this ball still makes a great move to the pocket so it is not a "straight ball" that only goes straight. (I do understand that this is not a straight ball however I have mine drilled for max length) Tech Stuff: Simple Pin Over layout with a 4-5" Pin 3oz top weight. (4 1/2 X 4 1/2) With CG above thumb under ring finger. Getting another one drilled up stacked 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 drill so I can still play my normal 3-4th arrow shot on a walled up house with med-light oil. Scores since used: 9 Game Block 2287 6 Game Block 1360 Practice Sessions averaged 230-254 across three days

    Ball drilled with Pin directly under fingers and CG in palm. I polished it up to around 1500 and then 2000. The ball is very predictable and has a nice smooth continuous arc. Speed must be kept up to avoid a jumping motion in the ball, otherwise I don't have any real dislikes. Pins seem to be kept lower giving better than average carry. I am able to play a variety of shots, from a big swing, to down and in (based on lane condition). This is my 7th Buzzsaw and is by far the best yet! I have thrown everything from the 1st green Buzzsaw, to the Viper, to the XXL, to the Carbide, and this has the best and most consistant reaction shot to shot. I have the WMD from MO, and the Track Rule GP2 but the Buzzsaw is the most versatile on a variety of shots. I only give it a 9 since I only have a dozen or so games on it, and I don't think any ball is a true 10. I see this as a winner from the lane #1 guys! UPDATE - I have 5 nights with the ball and have seen various conditions. Have been as low

    This is my 9th Buzzsaw. And, like the others, I was not disappointed by its performance. I am a lefty and drilled the ball label. This ball reads the lanes very well and seems to actually like carry down. The heads are very clean and the back end reaction is violent!!. I was throwing this ball at 18mph and it did very well. However, when I slowed down to about 15mph the ball would actually get a little squirrelly. It wanted to over-react and flip way too early. I would not recommend this ball to anyone who has a slow speed delivery. I really like this ball and would recommend it to anyone who feels that they need the extra punch. Carries light hits and corners very well. Will leave an occassional 8 pin though.

    THis is just a normal label drill on this ball with a 2 1/2 inch pin This ball hits like a truck, and it hooks. The ball won't grab in oil though, but once it hits dry it takes off. I bought the ball for heavy oil, a little dissapointed that it doesn't hook as much as i was expecting, but then again, i throw it faster with only maybe 15 revs. The backend on this ball however makes up for it not hooking in the dry, this is a very realiable ball when the backends are dry, or the heads are dry, if there is any dry this ball is usable. There doesn't have to be much dry, but just enough for the ball to break into the roll. Also this ball carries everything, I've struck more with this ball than any of my other balls, it's one of the first balls i don't have to worry about 10 pins with.<sc

    I was shocked at how well this bowling ball performed. This ball is great on heavy oil and can cover up mistakes pins made by your wrist or where you release it at. This ball revs up so fast that when it hits the pins it is an explosion. I have never had a ball that hits so hard! The ball does very well on second arrow on synthetic lanes and combination lanes. I would not recommend drilling a weight hole in it for it to break early, but leave it just as is. However, i would not recommend you using this ball on dry lanes for it will hook like crazy. Get this ball soon !This is the bowling ball of the year. It has my vote!!
