About the Bowler

Great ball. I am right handed and I throw between 13-1/2 and 14-1/2 mph and I own 4 balls that are too agresive most of the time and I had a hard time keeping them from going to high or brooklyn. So far I have bowled two series with it 629 and my highest ever 695 and it is great. It gets down the lane and still comes back into the pocket and hits hard.

About the Bowler

I am rev dominant, ball speed 13-1/2 to 14-1/2. Got my gemstone drilled weak, flare 2 backend 5 to the gemstone spec sheet. The ball was a little weak and did not come back to the pocket very well. Had it re drilled flare 9 backend 9 to the gemstone spec sheet. Man does this ball hit hard, great pin action. I needed a ball that goes a little longer and gets to the pocket with control and this is it. I bowled about 30 games with it and I have raised my average 10 pins.I am averaging just over 200 with it. Fantastic ball. I like the Lane 1 diamond core. It has many ways you can drill it. I will get another one and save it till I wear this one out. Thanks LANE #1...

About the Bowler

I bowl in a house that is light oil to no oil(heads and mids are burnt up by the time I bowl. All the balls I have are reactive resin and the weakest ball I have is a razyr which I have been using but is still a little to agressive (these lanes are really bad)...So I decided to go with a urethatne ball. They all have pancake cores like my razyr. Then I found the Liberator. Bought it and used it the same night on my league. Wow what a difference!!!It was great to be able to keep it in the pocket from start to finish. It sure is great knowing that I can bowl an very dry lanes and have a ball that can do it. The ball hits hard. I am a stroker,ball speed 13.5 to 14.0 and I drilled it Straight up, pin just above and centered between fingures.The nice thing about it is the core, it turns into the pocket very smooth and if I have to I can have it sanded smoother and polished. For right now I am going to use it unpolished and see what happens. Thank you Lane #1 for making a urethane ball with a weight block. Great Idea.

About the Bowler

I a tweener (13.5 to 14.5 mph)and the house I bowl at has FRIED wood lanes. My reactive resin coverstock balls are all way too aggressive so I got the Liberator. Drilled with pin at 12 o'clock with stock finish and it was still a little strong for those lanes (did I mention the lanes were FRIED?)... I had it re-drilled with the weakest buzzsaw pattern. (Length 10 / Backend 4 and polished). Now it is perfect for the dryer wood lanes. I am averaging 200+. Other guys on the league are struggling because the lanes are so inconsistant.I just change my release a little to adapt. It is a hard hitting ball and I am glad I made the choice. A BIG THANK YOU LANE #1
