I wanted to try a 15lb ball due to a hand injury. (trying to avoid surgery) and my friend gave me this Dyno-Thane about 3 weeks ago. Our span is really close just a bit larger thumb hole. I was going to take it in to the pro shop to redo the thumb but I have been busy with work. Tuesday I shipped my regular equipment to Reno for nationals so all I had to throw was my Morich Rev and the Dyno-Thane. I threw the rev first and it was rolling ok. Then after the first game I wanted to try the Dyno-Thane. My first shot hit so hard that I knew I was done with the Morich. then after the next 11 for my 3rd 300 (1 sanctioned) I have decided to look a lot harder at the Dyno-Thane line. I just cant believe I have missed out all this time on a great ball like the thing lives. Can anyone tell me what other balls Dyno-Thane makes that is a must have ball? Thanks.

My first 300 game 03/30/07 w/Total Inferno.
11 in a row last year.
High series 771.
Next step will be my 800 series. (I hope)

The Thing Lives and the Black Vendetta are the two must-haves.  Oddly, both are dull solids.  Must be something in the sandpaper.  I've got a TL and it's an awesome ball.  Lots of midlane, plenty of backend.  Doesn't usually start up too early, either.  You've got a great piece, it was my first DT as well.  I wouldn't mind having a Black, but they're harder to find now and I can't buy now anyway.  I think the first 300 Global ball (spiritual successor to DT) will be similar to it (just a guess).

I also have an Energy, it's a great piece as well.  About as strong as my TL, I wish it would handle less oil, but I'll wait until I get my spinner to change the surface.

Send a PM to tekneek, he's pretty good for leftover DT equipment.  I think he's got a Pure Energy for about $65 in 15#, if you want something for more oil than your TL, that'll cover it.  It's also a Soaker like the TL.  Joe has one or two as well.

I wish I'd been able to buy more DT balls before the buyout.  Since Phil (newguy, former owner of DT) is starting up 300 Global, I think that'll be the next best thing.

personally, i have a 44 magnum that is great on fresh, medium oil. took it down to about 600, it's a 14 lber. so i can put some juice to it and it will come back strong on the back end. when the lanes start to break down, i go to the zr40 in oob. i threw that in our classic league for a couple of weeks and about 5-6 came up to me and asked what it was. it will go way long before it moves. both of these keep the pins low to the deck. i have a high energy but haven't had a chance to throw it much because of shoulder surgery. will definately try it when i get healthy. very underrated balls. not too many people in no. indiana throw then.

Must have Dyno-Thane...the Black Vendetta. Hard to find, harder to put down.
