Lane #1 Gravity Balance System

Post by Dustin »

Richie is back at it with his take on drilling bowling balls. At 31:30 he explains his take on why GLBH is not the way to go. Enjoy :roll:

Drill balance holes on the bottom of a ball without checking of they are flare safe at your own risk! Also if you have a ball with high top weight will you be able to get the cg to a 45 angle and keep it statically balanced?

Oh, this one is GOOD! Thanks for sharing! I knew I wasted all that money and Mo's time going to pro shop classes. Thanks to YouTube and Richie and an endless supply of grease pencils . . . I am qualified to drill a ball no one wants to buy. Here's the Lane 1 difference . . . I can sell someone a high performance and a mid performance ball for the price of one of theirs!

Don't you think the location and size of the weight hole is going to influence the flare and motion of the ball more than where the cg is located?

At one point, someone "has" to put him in his place before we get a bunch of bowlers trying to come in here and creating havoc...

Better yet, a few qualified guys from here meet up with him and show him why he "doesn't" know jack like he think he does. We know we can put our money where our mouth is, but can he, not really :lol:

Starting to see more n more people trying to discredit Mo and the other guys here who have put in soo much time and some money into creating the most simplest and rewarding system to use for bowling balls. But, they don't know that it will backfire on them down the road....

Yeah, I think that is why lane #1 really is at the bottom of the barrel price point.... their stuff is NOT gold that is for sure. If they think their "stuff" is sooo good, then why isn't it registered for use on the pba....because most or all of the pba and wpba bowlers won't buy over priced boat anchors while having to get a degree in super duper calculus math just to drill a ball....

I hit this one kind of hard where he talked about it in the video.

No point in beating a dead horse. It's totally invalid and not worth being on my forum. It's been discredited many times. So I'm locking this thread. Hope you understand.
