The Ripsaw is the latest upper-mid priced release from Lane #1. This ball uses a symmetric, high RG version of the Back Cut Diamond core shape. The cover is the older Bleeder formulation used on balls like the Pink Panther and Buzzsaw THS.

The combination of this core and cover provided the test staff with the best reaction on the medium pattern. We could move a few boards further right with our feet on this pattern and get it to the friction as quickly as we wanted without worrying it about it over-reading and going high on the headpin.
