Since ballreviews won't put the new ENERGY in the new reviews column,..I have to resort to using the DynoThane site for writting my reviews,..oh well,..
Drilled up my second "wonder-ball" and got about 5-6 games of practice on it over the weekend, After trying to contact the D/T Research and Development Engineering Department,(good-luck),..and then realizing He (otherguy) was at the Super-Bowl Hi-Roller "working", I decided to put my years of knowledge and experience to use,..and layout this ball myself. Scary huh,..but after about ten minutes of contemplation, and using a trusted theory, K.I.S.S., I went with one of my favorites,...4 1/2 x 4,...the pin was 2 1/4, so to get things where I wanted them I had to drill the ring finger right smack in the pin,..which is no big deal, and the cg just above the midline. I then put a 3" deep hole 5/8"dia three inches below my pap on the VAL,..this will get the s/w back to about 3/8oz+, and increase flare. Okeedokee, now this beauty comes outta-da box 600gt wet sanded/polish but mine looked like it missed the polish line somewhere. Kinda dullish looking to me, BUT....I always like to throw'em out of the box first before I run to the spinner and grab the shiny stuff. I'm figuring this puppy will hook at my feet,..but to my suprise it gets down the lane just fine.
Tues night I decided to give it a chance to break into the starting line-up, and if things went well maybe a chance at "first bag". This is a pretty typical little house shot, except for a few things, 1. there's mega oil in the middle, 2. the carry down shows up in practice, 3. the track to the right drys up quick because everyone plays in the same place. Synthetics, with about 35-36' and the backs are usually fresh,..at least for a little while. Ok here we go,...the first 24 shots are all in the jar, with back to back 257s,...alrighty then. But I know it's coming as I keep moving my feet left to avoid the track, and the over/under that I see every week,....but with this ball I never saw it. The ball continued to show the same reaction all night,..it was amazing,..this is the first ball that I've been able to throw and it not duck-hook off the track as the lanes start to break down. I could keep the ball to the right, it would swing out, and arc back, and never miss a beat....I kept thinking this ain't right. I actually could miss right,..into the dry and the ball didn't jerk. AND still retain enough pop to complete it's assigned mission with out missing a beat...WOW. With this reaction I don't have to worry about the carry down because I can get out in front of it,..and make the ball angle to the pocket off the dry track,..amazing. The last game was a 221,..with couple of good shots that just didn't carry,..but all-in-all I was very surprised at the performace of this ball. The way that I could continue to swing the ball wide, and it not over-react is wonderful,...and still recover with POP. Thursday night is another house with a different shot,..and if this ball continues to perform as well as it did,..I think a starting positon is in it's future. jim
ps: the problem is who do I bench...?
