I just have to say, my Energy is a turd.

I know that people will get on here and probably BLAST me and say I'm a moron. But let me say that my THING LIVES is one the best balls I've thrown in a long while... Many 700's with this ball and also an honor score as well to it's credit! Best Medium/Heavy Oil ball in the game! The THING LIVES is the ball that got me turned on to DYNO THANE. And I thought if all the SOAKER's rolled as great as this one, that I would have a new favorite ball company.

I hope and pray that the ENERGY I got is a BLEM, or a DEFECT... because this ball doesn't cover much ground in the backend at all.

My Energy is drilled with the PIN above ring and CG slightly out from the grip... basically a 4 3/4" x 4".

I tried it on 2 different shots... one was a broken down shot and the other was a fresh shot and the Energy didn't match up with neither one. No recovery at all.

Usually surface changes help... but not with this ball.

It comes out of the box kind of dullish actually. So I polished it up before I even threw it because I figured it would be too early for me (and I knew if I didn't like it, that I could just scuff it back up).

With a polished coverstock, the ball just rolled and rolled with no recovery so I thought maybe the ball was not creating enough friction and was going to long... so then I scuffed it down a little (close to box finish) and it still was rather weak.

My Thing Lives is drilled PIN above ring (4 3/4" x 4")... and my Storm Recharge is drilled PIN above ring (4 3/4" x 5 1/4").

The Thing Lives is sanded to 600 and the Recharge is glossed up pretty good.

My RECHARGE had a strong backend on both shots as did my Thing Lives. The Thing Lives being earlier with still a big backend... and the Recharge being longer and cleaner with a strong backend.

I let 2 friend's throw this ball tonight after I seen the weak reaction I was getting... and both of them agreed that something was not right with this ENERGY.

I wanted to make a post about this in this forum to see if any of the Dyno Thane Guru's, or people "in the know", had an answer.

I'm truley disapointed in this ball.

I hope and pray that the ENERGY I got is a BLEM, or a DEFECT.

For the people that have had their's replaced...what did you have to do with your old ones?

By the way we haven't seen a second post from Ric clint after he called the energy a turd in his post. I was wondering if he was treated properly and if so than maybe a post to let everyone know how we treated him would be nice. I would hate to think that those that bash before we can fix a problem would not comment on how customer service handle the problem quickly and with the customers best satisfaction in mind.

Just waiting for UPS to pick my old one up and drop off my new one, should hopefully have a better update in the next couple of days.
