Threshold compared to a Black Widow
« on: September 08, 2006, 02:53:24 AM »
Hi all,
I was absolutely dumbfounded to walk into league last night and find more oil than I could handle.  I am not going back without something to stop that mishap from happening again.  I think I am all but set on the Threshold, but I've been having the Black Widow pushed on me.  I have seen the Widow in action but nothing on the Threshold other than the one video here.  I need somebody to help me out on what reaction difference I might see in the 2.  I thought the Widow looked a little on the "rolly" side on a house shot and the video here certainly made the Threshold look stronger in the backend.  Has anybody seen or thrown the two side by side for a real comparison? I really want to get back to all DT, but its hard to make the leap with nobody around throwing it to see what I might get.

Threshold was stronger than my Big One's , both of which I got rid of. Balls didn't match up for me at all. I'm getting another Threshold and drilling it weaker, and polishing it so I can use it on 'softer' conditions. It hits HARD.

Up til now the absolute best oiler I have thrown is a Morich Total Shock and Awe and it is was the by a BIG margin. I have used the Big One, Hammer Hawg, Strom Trifecta, Passion, Ultimate inferno, Weapon of Mass Bias, Seek and Destroy, and a few more. The TSA was the BEST! It hooked in the heads all the way to the end of the pin deck. A sick ball IMO.

How does the threshold compare to the Morich TSA?

I've thrown them both, same layout, hands down Threshold. And that's with the Threshold at 1500 grit, sanded to the TSA at 400 grit, much stronger cover on the Thres.

I dont have the Black Widow....but I do have a Threshold. The only Dyno-Thane i have. It was a total fluke that I ended  up with this ball. I got it this summer from a equipment league. I had orderd the Columbia Action Packed....and I got the Threshold instead....I was pissed at first. I said what the hell. Best choice I could have ever made. CRANKER....if it is too much ball for you in OOB finish....shine it to about a 1000 grit....watch it come to life. Very versatile------hope this helps ya-----Earl

If you're a cranker I highly recommend the Element Zr40.  It's the most controllable, strong arc'ing ball I have.  And I have thrown about three years worth of Dyno-thane equipment.  I have two of them now and I jsut ordered another two.

Though I don't see the Zr40 being a real oil ball, I do think it is one SICK piece of equipment.  Gets down the lane, still strong enough to recover and yet some how easily controlled.  It was actually this ball that brought me back to thinking Dyno all the way again.  I just needed to be assured that the Threshold would do what I was looking for. It sounds as though it will.

I've yet to see the threshold... hoping for it tonight.. but the Zr40 is special, I loved the original element smooth and strong there too.. god its good I don't know why I EVER even looked at other stuff.
