Thing Lives?
« on: November 26, 2007, 07:12:27 AM »
Here's a few more questions for all of you veteran Dynothane bowlers.

How do you like your Thing Lives?

How is it drilled?

What surface do you have on it?

What lane conditions do you like it for?

Mine is drilled for length, currently polished, and it turns hard in one house I bowl in and doesn't turn at all in the other house. I have really liked this ball. It is one of the three balls I keep in my bag.

Mine is roughly 3 5/8 by 3 5/8 (PAP past 6" over), the pin is about an inch above the finger line.  It's in whatever you get by putting 300+ games on an OOB ball on mostly synthetic lanes and practically no maintenance.

It worked well for me on medium to medium heavy lanes, playing between the second and third arrows.  A few times I moved in deeper and slowed the speed down but I'm not as comfortable.  I used it in my PBA league this summer on the Shark and was happy.

It's a real strong ball, looking back I wonder if it was too strong for some of the conditions I tried to use it on.  It was my primary ball for a long time without much of a backup.

I just repolished my ball with a high gloss, really nice on the light oil in my normal house. Allows me to square up and really go at the pocket. Amazingly enough I have 4 other balls that are just monsters, but this ball has knocked my No Mercy out of the First out of the bag place. Just Love this ball.
