the new control monster from lane #1 bowling. the chainsaw is a specialized tool on the lanes when conditions are med-dry to drier. with 2" of flare max, you don't have to worry about this ball overreacting because of it's skid/hook coverstock. you cannot use this ball to cover a lot of boards on a fresh house shot, however when the track area burns up....LOOK OUT:eek:

WELL ENGINEERED BALL: the core of the chainsaw features a double end cut diamond weight block that is low flaring and easy revving. as with every high performance Lane #1 ball, the carry power is incredible, down and in, point the corner, ride the oil line next to the track area all result in powerful strikes.
"throw it in the dirt, and watch it work", do yourself a favor, put this ball in your bag, you'll be glad you did.
