Lane #1's sexy Curve now has a big brother for protection. Introducing the Lane # 1 Big Curve.

Dual Angle Layout(PAP 5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 60* x 5" x 30*
Balance Hole - none

Surface Preparation - Out of Box 2000 grit Abralon)

What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
One look at Lane #1's new Big Curve and you know it is going to hook. The dual angle layout I chose was to create some good length and try and delay the early roll and store as much up for the backend as possible.

By using the angles I did I was able to get the Mass Bias over closer to my thumb to help tame some of the hook the ball was going to create.

What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
I was amazed at how much length I was able to get out of such a strong ball. Normally when you try and tame down a stronger ball like this you get a real weird roll out of it.

The Big Curve reacted exactly how I wanted giving me enough early roll to read a little heavier oil volume but still getting enough to create a ridiculous amount of hook down lane. As I played inside with this ball I noticed how the ball was pushing through the pattern and creating more length giving it more hook on the backend then I have seen in quite a while.

I even took this ball and played more up the boards and I think as long as you have enough oil to create the length needed you will get all the mid lane and down lane hook you want out this ball. Now granted most people would not be throwing this ball well into the second and third game unless it was polished but with a ball like this why polish it. I would use this as my starting ball for the night and open the lane up just the way I want.

Another winner from Lane #1, can't wait to see whats next.

The Lane #1 Big Curve lives up to it's name as being a very aggressive bowling ball. As a slower bowler I needed to play a deeper inside line to make sure I had some oil helping the ball down the lane. Once it hit friction it took off to the left.

If you are looking for a monster hooking ball, then check out this one.

I have also seen this ball thrown with more speed and revs and thought it looked great.

Lane 1's newest edition to the Curve line is the Big Curve. This ball is designed to handle the heavier volumes that the Curve struggles on. The Pure Explosion 9.6 cover gives you a stronger roll up front to allow for a smoother move at the breakpoint. I have seen this ball thrown on a higher volume pattern and its performance was awesome. The ball motion was strong up front but still went through the pins like a truck.

The Lane #1 Big Curve has been a big hit with our bowlers that need more roll in the front and a smooth backend.With a 219 on the perfect scale and 2000 grit abralon finish if you need more skid in the front and strong backend bring the finish up to 4000 abralon with polish.

This is really insane! I was looking for a new bowling ball that can handle the heavy lanes better as my previous ball has a limited hook on oily lanes. Hence, i took a look at the bowlingball.com and came to know about lane #1 Big Curve. As stated in the website, its perfect scale is the second highest overall, it would mean that it would be able to perform on oilier grounds. And previous reviews mention that it actually hook more than its brother, thus making me wanting to have the ball more than any others!!(although i was reading the reviews of the other bowling ball as well)
I had to wait 2 weeks for the delivery, but i was very impressed by the service provided by bowlingball.com. As they gave me updates of the ball until it reaches my home. I'm totally overjoyed. Furthermore it was my first time purchasing something online!
I had my ball drilled immediately after receiving it. And the truth is the ball hooks 5 to 8 boards more than my previous ball. And it stores plenty of power while entering the pins. This cause me the problem of having to shift my target once every 1 to 2 games as it tends to suck up the oil very fast.

But i'm still very pleased with the ball and the services provided by bowlingball.com. I plan to use my new acquired bowling ball in the upcoming tournament. I also look forward in purchasing new products from bowlingball.com. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! And for those who are looking for big hooks, this is the ball for you.

I have a league average of 218 and I throw the ball with medium speed (15-16 mph). I had this drilled to give me a strong hook and hard arc. To say that this ball hooks is an understatement. Usually I stand on the 12th board and throw over the second arrow. Man, did I have to go deeper inside. Once I did, this ball simply took over and could not miss the pocket. I had to learn to trust this line. No matter how far right I sent the ball out, it found its way back to the pocket. When it hit the pins, they scattered low on the deck. It won't be long before this ball takes over as my favorite "go to" ball. I have the Invasion and I love it, but this balls hits so much harder and I don't leave the dreaded ten pin.
