This is the best ball on the market. Mine is pin over the middle of the bridge with the cg on the midline about 2" right of center with a 6" hole. I won a SR ALLSTAR tournament with this ball, and last night start with the front 17. This  ball flat-out carries. Smoothe thru the heads, and never seems to over react makes the ball easy to use. I can play outside, and inside and never loose any hitting power. First ball out of the bag. jimensminger

Right hander with a left handed drill.  2.5 inch pin below the middle finger.  Great dry lane ball.  Burnt out heads, will kill this ball.  Which makes this ball only acceptable for light oil houses, or for medium conditions with lots of revs on it.  As my first Dynothane ball, it was very good, the carry was great, but is really condition specific.

The most versatile ball on the market today.

I have one Dynothane Thing in my arsenal, and one is all I need.

Just for reference, I am a high speed (18-19mph) cranker. My Thing is drilled 5 1/2 x 5, with the pin directly above the bridge and the CG below the ring finger, placing the mass bias in the strong flip position.

The Thing by Dynothane is just an incredible ball. Phil needs to be congratulated for such a masterpiece. My Thing will skid through the heads cleanly, rev strongly and smoothly in the midlane, and arc hard on the backend. It works on clean backends and carrydown alike. Dry heads require left to right projection to get the ball down the lane, but as long as there isn't heavy carrydown, have no fear, the ball will get back. Oil in the heads allows for straighter trajectory up the boards. Oh, and the hit is great as well. Not overpowering, like my Inferno, but sneaky hard, as it carries perfectly, keeping the pins low. All in all, this ball allowed me to cut out two of my Infernos out of my bag, as I use this ball on anything from light to medium/heavy oil. Only the extremes are out of reach for this ball. As a result of my success with this ball, my last Inferno will soon be leaving my bag and be replaced by a Dynothane Element. I turn the ball too much for an Anomaly. Great job, Phil and Dynothane, as I'm sure you already know. And PS - I have, because of my success with this ball, convinced 10 people into buying Dynothane equipment who otherwise wouldn't have tried it.

I picked-up this used 15lb red/blue swirl pin demolisher from a fellow Ballreviews member, as I’ve wanted to try a ball with the soaker coverstock. WOW, WOW, WOW! It’s drilled 3 3/8 with a weight hole on the PAP. This ball MOVES and HITS! It’s very clean through the heads, starts to rev HARD in the mids (good length), and just explodes on the backend. This WILL destroy pins! I like that it keeps the pins low, so I get ‘extra terrestrial pin carry’ just like it says it does.  It sends pins flying left and right, I think they cry after they get hit…LOL I can play my preferred line (20 out to 10) with good length and a STRONG roll on the back, crushing the pins. I did notice that if the cover starts to loose its polish (1500), I get sort of a strange reaction. With this one, I can come straight up the back or give it side roll, it likes both. Will leave ringing 10’s if you push it past its breakpoint (What ball won’t?). It’s such a cool looking ball too! I can’t say enough good things about it! I’ve been bowling my highest games with both the Thing and Element.


Some points about it:

Make sure to pay attention to the coverstock surface.

You can come straight up the back or give it side roll, it likes both.

Really cool looking!

Soaker coverstock does exactly what it says it does.

I could see this ball fitting in anyone’s bag.

When in doubt, go buy Dyno-Thane.

Until this one I never threw much Dyno-Thane equipment but I was very happy with the results. This is one that everyone should have in their bag, I drilled this one up with a 10:30 layout and put the balance hole at 7". The ball pushes with ease and doesn't over react when and if you hit the dry too early, tried it on a few of the tour patterns and got the same clean result on each and every pattern. I really think with a stronger layout this could be one of the best ones out today.
