Ball left in box condition, 4 x 3 drilling, pin right above ring finger, CG on midline.

On the house shot, synthetics:  This ball offers length and a strong backend, a hockey-stick motion to the pocket, but the ball doesn't roll out (like my AU79 would sometimes).  Will still hook if pulled in the oil, so can be used if there is an over/under condition.  I've had the first 10 twice in a month, once stopped by a solid 7, and the next one by a pocket 7-10.  A staffer one pair over shot 846 with it last week, and he has a tremendous amount of hand, and was able to get the ball down the lane with lots of ball speed and still carry everything.

I've also used this ball with success on PBA pattern E, especially after some carry down.  On two other PBA patterns, no luck because the ball just hooked too early.  

I have seen other players polish this ball and use it sucessfully, had a 300 bowled against me last week by one, and my wife used hers to win the local Queens tournament averaging 238 for 8 games.  They both have a slower ball speed than I do, the polish helps the ball conserve "energy" for later down the lane.

As the Dynothane arsenal goes, this fits between my Pearl Vendetta and my Thing Lives.

There haven't been too many balls that have made me panic after four or five frames that I should have order two, but that's exactly how I felt midway through my first game throwing the The Energy from Dyno-Thane.  

I throw with a lot of speed with a high rev rate and had my 16lb. Energy drilled with the pin above the bridge with the cG 1 inch to the right.  This is absolutely the smoothest ball I've ever thrown--so effortless in fact, I joked to a buddy that it didn't feel legal. With a continuous arc all the way to the pocket, the Energy is easy to read and is versatile enough to use on a variety of oil patterns.  It covers roughly the same amount of boards as a Thing Returns without the hard backend.  Think of the original Thing with all of the modern performance upgrades.  My evaluation based on a scale of 1 to 10.

Hook..................7
Backend...............7
Carry.................9
Overall Performance...10

Whether you're a high or low speed player with varying degrees of rev rates, the Energy from Dyno-Thane is an outstanding product to add to you arsenal.  I have posted this before and will keep saying it, Dyno-Thane produces the best ball line top to bottom in the industry.  I don't post scores as they don't reflect the performance of the ball.  Feel free to ask me a question regarding the Energy or any ball I've reviewed.
