I bought this ball when it was first released to get a better move to the pocket in oil and was sorely disappointed. I treid it sanded with various grits but this ball hooked so little in oil that I ended up just polishing it to use as a spare ball. I should mention that I am a textbook stroker so we're not talking high revs here. I finally was able to use this ball after I purchased a ball spinner and sanded the snot out of it. With a sanded surface the Uranium Solid hooks fairly well in medium oil and pretty darn good in light oil. Definitely NOT worth the money I dropped on this bad boy as I already had several balls that work well in medium to light oil. Crankers will probably love this ball, but strokers and possibly tweeners should avoid this ball like the plague.

This is my favorite Lane #1 ball. I have alot of honor scores bowled with it. I have it drilled with the pin at noon. Keep the ball polished and it will do the job. The ball goes does long coming out of the oil has a nice arc to the pocket. This summer I rolled an 800 and th e folling two weeks after that rolled 11 in a row. The ball is great for all lane conditions. Swing it when it is dry, down and in when medium and when oily come off the corner. I am a big Lane one fan and wont change my mind bout the company.

This is my second lane on ball, and definetly won't be the last. In the past all i threw was morich but now that I have seen the power and capabilities of the buzzsaw diamond core, I see more in the future. The uranium solid is exactly like they say, a monster mid lane rolling ball. First time I threw the ball there was a med shot out, not enough for this ball. Ball rolled over about 35 to 40 feet and went into it's roll. To my suprise the ball didn't die out and hit like a wet noodle, it crushed the pocket and sent pins flying everywhere. The only down side to using on lighter oil is the control factor, But on oil for which I bought it for and is made for, this ball is a beast with a smooth and controlable brakepoint

I can only wish that every ball hit with the power of this one. This ball really has tons of power in the pocket to the point that I am surprised when it dosent carry even on errant shots. I am still not a big fan of the activator covers, but they are growing on me. This ball needs oil to save the energy. Tried many cover surfaces but 1000 seems to be the best match for me still a little float but this ball still carries at even late angles to the pocket. I would recommend any of the lane 1 balls on the fact that I havent found one yet that I wasnt happy with and this is one of my favorites if it rolls, and you like, it price shouldnt matter.

Here are the specs on this ball 16Lbs 3.0oz Top Weight 2-3inch Pin Lay Out: 1:30 Stacked Weight hole on my PAP Let me begin with WOW! I am amazed with this ball. I threw this ball on a fresh shot and was blown away. The first game I threw it up 7, and it smashed the pins. The second game I swung it out to 5 without moving my feet and it came back and smashed the pins just the same. I moved in a little with my feet to see if I could move left and throw it a little more right with out worrying if it's going to come back, and it STILL did! This ball is definately one great heavy oil ball. It's my new baby for one of my leagues :) Definately would recommend this ball for oil and even on Medium conditions if you have the speed to get it down the lanes. As usual another success from Lane #1!

I got the ball at a discount price but would have paided full price for it. Its a great ball ... Love the lane One Balls. I've rolled everything you can think of. nothing carries like this keeps the pins low carries high hits also..There isn't enough you can say about this ball.. I got this ball by accident.. It came in the mail and it fit my hand perfectly. I thought that I was getting the Pearl Blue uranium , but when I got it I saw it was the solid uranium, very easy ball to row . I row it out across 15 to about 5 then watch out here it comes back. Destroyes the pins Love to roll it. Can't wait to pull it out of the bag. One bad M _ F..

Goes mid-long then BAMMMMMMMM! Takes a hard turn into pocket. I bowled my best 5 consecutive games since i started bowling. I love this ball. It performed as well on game 5 as it did in game one. I will have this ball for a long time. the cover stock did not soak up the oil (the first day I used it the condidtions were medium heavy). I just wiped it down every 5 shots or so with the towel and off she went. I am not a techy guy when it comes to the specs but I can tell you that the Pro drilled it fairly aggressive but not too much so. Sorry I don't knoe that info to help anyone. But it is to date the best ball I have ever owned.<scri

Lane #1 balls are great. If someone is claiming they suck, they had the ball drilled wrong for them, they bought the wrong one, or their pro shop just screwed up....If you are not a good bowler to begin with, then just buying a new ball is not going to help. The solid is not made for spinners or those who have no ball speed.....a aaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaa aaa aaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa

this is a pretty good ball, it doesnt do anything different than my other medium balls, no extra hit, no extra flip, it performs exactly like the mid priced B Balls. I had to try one and now i know, people have to say they are good because they dont want to look like an idiot for spending the extra money, well I have waited for this ball to do something special, its not happening and i am man enough to admit i made a mistake, lesson learned, dont believe the hype. I will stick with what brought me here, thanks for listening to me cry over spilt milk

i have never said this before cause i always try to play the big looping hooks but as soon as i drilled it up i went back down to the sho and said "it hooks too much." the reaction is unlike anything i have ever seen before and OH MY is it nice. the only reason i got it is because we orded it for a guy and he never came and picked it up so my boss said its yours and am i just the happiest person alive because of it. the midlane is beautiful and the finish is just amazing. i would recommend it to ANYONE.

I got this ball because the proprietor of my center just totally changed the shot from summer league to fall/winter league. From a decent blend shot to totally oily. I drilled this maximum leverage, which is shaky to do since I am a cranker. I admit it comes close to flaring over the thumbhole, but with the core/coverstock combination, it doesn't seem to bother it when it does. Took some time to get used to the roll of the ball since most of my equipment is Storm and I like a late arcing roll. This ball is a real tournament performer and I suggest it for any bowling style!

This is the best ball I've ever thrown. I got it three weeks ago and have used it in three leagues. I have not shot less than 700 in any league yet. I was averaging around 200 when I got the ball. The ball hits hard and holds the lane, very little skid. The ball needs oil, don't take it out if the alley's are dry. Can't say anything real bad about the ball other than it hits so hard that I've been leaving a lot of solid 9 pins. That's pretty unusual for me because I really don't move the ball that much.

Are you man enough for this ball? Ok guys grab your socks get a hold of your pride. The New Lane #1 Uranium Solid Buzzsaw is here and it is a lot of ball. Drilled mine Label Leverage this was worked out off My Actual H&V. This ball simply doesn’t roll out it finishes I am able to play very deep with this ball far deeper than the pearl it is less snappy than the pearl but that was expected. Never the less this ball has all the same characteristics as the Pearl but it is simply a STRONGER ball. The Uranium Solid is dominant here we have already sold 15 balls and everyone loves it if you lack ball speed you may need to polish it up to get it down the lane unless your house is using lots of high quality OIL! This is a top ten of all time ball I have them ready to drill in our shop for 189.00 plus the drill If your Man enough buy one you wont be disappointed. http://www.bowlingismybag.com

im a cranker and im not sure how many turns my ball does per minute but i knoe i throw 30.50km/h consistantly. ball layout label leverage pin out 1". the ball had a nice flip at the end and had a nice hit ball sort of had the same reaction as the pearl but recovers earlier and can stick better to the oil than the pearl. tested the ball with a labyrinth beside too see which ball had a better recovery on the lanes on the tournament of champions 50ft condition. and both could recover the boards but the uranium solid left alot of major taps like the 7-9 a numerous of times if i came in light. one thing is never ever use this on a medium-dry condition for me it left a 9 pin consistantly because it would hook in the backends but thats why i carry a polished cherry bomb with me when the lanes call. well it was the best $400 canadian ive spent so far and yes i said $400 CANADIAN its quite expensive up in canada and there hard to find unless you have hookups up there.
