Only show reviews for Lane #1 G-Force
Core Design:
Lane #1 is using an asymmetric diamond shape for the first time. The RG is medium at 2.516, and the Diff is strong at .051. The mass bias strength is low at .006. We saw 5" of flare with the 4.5 and the 4" 1:30 layout (Lane #1's suggestion).
Coverstock:
The cover is finished at 10 micron, which is equivalent to about 1000-abralon, according to Lane #1. The coloring is Solar Red Swirl, and the cover is called Detonator solid.
Manufacturer's Intent:
Lane #1 is working with an all-new design team now that Columbia 300 is producing its equipment. Richie Sposato now is venturing into higher RG and asymmetric core design to further expand the motion characteristics of the line, looking for a more angular move off the spot with strong continuation.
Test Results:
We all were impressed with the early revs and strong midlane we saw from the new G Force. We did not see an angular move off the spot with any test pattern, nor with any surface adjustment. We did see predictability and excellent pin carry, especially on the longer and heavier patterns. Some hook-out was present on lighter volumes, or if we encountered early friction. Outside angles with sufficient oil were this ball's best match for pin carry on our house shots (38 and 39") and Sport (32 and 39") shots.
When to Use:
Use confidently on longer and heavier volumes, and when looking for an arcing breakpoint motion. The strength of this ball is its strong midlane motion, with no sudden jerk off friction. We preferred outside angles when bowler speed, rev rate and lane condition matched up. When compared to similarly-surfaced solid Lane #1 Cobalt, the G Force rolled earlier with a smoother motion off the spot.
