To make a long sweet lovely story short... my first ENERGY was from a "bad" run of balls so Dyno Thane being the great company they are sent me another one... and this new one is STRONG!
They are drilled the exact same.
I'm very surprised at what this ball can do in the last several feet!
Mine is polished up pretty glossy.
This ball is being billed as having great length and a strong backend. It does have a Medium/Low RG and a very high RG DIFFERENTIAL. Both the RG and RG DIFF. say this this ball should roll early and flare alot... but I'm seeing a ton of length and severe backend snap (it must have something to do with this "POP" core).
The ENERGY is effortless through the heads... I'm dead serious on this, it's not only clean through the heads, but it rolls like plastic through the heads. Those that have this ball may understand what I mean by this. For it to roll like this through the heads, the ball must not be flaring much at all in the first part of the lane.
The backend is very sharp!
It's as close to a pure "skid/flip" ball as I've seen. Most of my BIG Backending pearl balls like the AZO Ultima RP and Storm Recharge have a slight bit of Midlane which leads to a very hard ARC... but the ENERGY honestly feels like it has NO MIDLANE at all!!! It starts up just AFTER the Midlane and then it's ALL backend from there!
Someone explain that to me!
I know Phil Cardinal may still be upset with me at calling the 1st ENERGY a "turd".
But please understand that I was calling the "bad run" of ENERGY's a "turd" (before I knew that they're were any bad ones, I just thought MINE was a "turd" possibly with the way I drilled it or something???)... not the original ENERGY design that you created this ball to be in the first place!
The "good" run of ENERGY's that are being sent out to people now are what Phil originally designed this ball to be about and he has got something great here!
I'm so excited about the Thing Lives, Barrage, and now Energy... that I may look into the Crisis Pearl (I just wish the Crisis Pearl was a SOAKER!)! I'd be fine with having mostly a Dyno Thane arsenal!!!
To all the guys that have gotten another ENERGY from Dyno Thane that had the bad ones to begin with... what do you think of this ball???
