I've been breaking mine in since the spring... I think the white is supposed to slide more than the grey, but I've found them very close.

I think they break in as fast as any Dexter heels I have, but I find the ABS heel more sensitive to humid conditions on synthetic and even some wood approaches.

Thanks Tony.  Good addition to the Dyno-Thane website.  I am glad you are changing things on the site.  Sites get very stale with the same thing up week after week.

I have tried the flat grey and white to no avail have bowled 3 games on each and still stick on older slippery wood approaches.  I haven't even attempted synthetic.  I thought about the Adjust-a-Heel but am going to try as some others have by taking a Dexter red leather heel and cutting out tear drop and using that.  Some others i know have had success doing that.  I slide more on my whole foot heel and pad.

I believe ABS needs to work on developing more slide in their soles and heels.  I'll never use the ripple type soles.

scott, I have had my pair of ABS shoes for a few months and I really didn't need much time to break in a different sole or heel. I started out with the white flat heel and the deer skin (cream color) sole which is about the most neutral sole and heel. If you want a lot of slide you can go with the grey flat hard heel and the felt gray sole, this will give you maximum slide. Where I bowl on Friday nights I started with the white heel and deer skin sole and found out that I was getting to much slide still so during shadow balls I changed to the dimple heel and the oiled leather (brown color) sole. I threw a few shadow balls with the adjusted heel and sole and I really didn't have to allow for any break in period. They pretty much were what I wanted after about 10 minutes of shadow balls. I didn't stick to much or have any problems. You just need to experiment with your different heels and soles to find out what works best for you.
