Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has thrown a Dyno-Thane Energy? I have an NIB one i'm gonna get drilled and want somewhat of a length drill on it. It has a 1-1.5" pin so length drills will be limited probably. Just wanted to see if anyone has ever thrown one and what the reaction was like so I can get a rough idea of what to expect. Thanks for any help!

Well that sucks. Hopefully I wont get the same results. I've always wanted to try out a Dyno-Thane ball and I hope thie first isn't dissapointing.

+1 unfortunately......IMHO Id put it on Ebay and maybe someone will be willing to pay for a rare discontinued ball.....just my opinion. Ive never had luck with that ball.

I had one and it did not do much for me so I inquired on the DynoThane forum as to what serial numbers were effected.  Someone contacted me from DT and asked for my s/n.  After I supplied the info, they sent me a new ball.  DT never came out with a list of the 'bad' balls, they just requested your s/n and if it was one of the 'bad' ones, they replaced it. With DT no longer in business, not sure how you can find out if yours is good or not.

 

I dug through my info and this was my s/n:  

 

Mine was dull and from what I remember, the 'bad' ones were dull, the good ones were shiny, OOB.  Apparently, one or two batches came out as just a urethane ball, no resin.  Now, I wish I still had that urethane Energy because I could use it for some of the patterns I am seeing.  I ended up giving it to a high-rev bowler after I got the replacement.
