I'd take the Droid, though I admit I don't like the fact that it's priced higher.

even if i add in a DV8 HRR you'll still choose the droid? most ppl here don't like lane 1 if im not wrong because they are the "weakest" as i've read somewhere before.. cant really remember..

Yep, I'd still get the Droid. If I were bowling on 44 ft of oil, I'd get one of the other balls, but I (and most people) never see that much oil, so why get something so strong? I can play the sweet spot of the lane better with something that is a little weaker. Plus I saw a couple at the USBC Nationals and liked the way they rolled, saw some good scores with them.

For clarity, the Droid is the "weakest" of the balls you listed. Lane #1 isn't the "weakest" brand out there as a generality. Everyone has strong balls, everyone has weak balls. The Droid isn't the strongest ball that Lane #1 makes, it's just the newest. The balls that you listed of other brands are all the strongest balls those brands make, so it's not really a great comparison.

We always joke some girl is going to confuse it with a house ball and rip her shoulder out! It's 15lbs. It has a strong hook and he always knows where his ball is LOL.
