Since I havent done a formal review on this ball I will give you my take on it
Me:
Speed 16.5-17.2 typically
Revs 400+
lanes new syntetics
Pattern: 41ft top hat buffed to 43 feet
Volume, decent but no where near a flood
Ball
15# 4 oz pin 3" too 3.25
Drilling" pin in ring, cg stacked, no weight hole (works out to a 50 x 4.5" x 40 drilling)
oob observations:
Intially I threw this in a different house then my normal house shot, this house had OOB outside 7 with a decent volume in the middle. In oob condition 4k abralon no polish this ball was huge and the out of bounds wasnt there for me, was very very impressed with the recovery when i got outside of 7, no one around me was getting the recovery that I saw. For comparision, I threw my 4k abralon agent orange on same line. AO could not make the pocket, I played with the line for 2 games, moving left to get a feel for depth of ball, seemed like I had the world here, went from feet on 25 playing 10 at arrows to the 5 all the way to left foot even with left gutter cap playing 5th arrow to the 10 board (God love the house shot) ball carried well from all angles and on off hits the mix it leaves is crazy
On my normal league shot, 41 feet i found this ball to be fantastic, Still in box condition i could play left foot on 35 crossing 15 at the arrows to about 8 and the pocket was extremely wide. now be careful, for me, on this house shot, if I got futher then my 10 board target, the ball came back even harder and a lot of times for me that type of move results in a ten pin
after bowling a tourney where the shot was much drier, i went back to the shop and did some surface adjustments. I went to a two side sand/abralon, meaning I adjusted the ball on two sides to go with my track (more lenght) I went 600 grit paper, 2k abralon, 4k abralon, then hit it pretty hard with ebo factory refinisher and gave it a fantastic shine. back to league the following week and I got exactly what I was looking for, on longer oil I can play down the boards but on lighter shorter patterns I can get in deep and still get plenty of length with massive pop on the back.
Ive heard everyone talk about what this ball reminds them of, but for me, the movement of this ball is very much like the black raspberry or even so much like the original danger zone, with the exception of, I see this ball handling much more oil then either one, expecially when polished. The surface tweeks well, you could take it down to 1k abralon and probably have no issues with oil anywhere, and then you could take up the surface and have one of the best med condition balls you have ever seen
By comparsion on monday, opponent was throwing a polished virtual gravity (great ball by the way) but by the second game he was seeing so much burn up with his VG that he had to put it away, I on the other hand stayed with my Dynamo and continued to get better as the night progressed, shooting 269 the last game
for me I can go from smooth to hockey stick with this ball depending on my break point, ball is very controllable, a dream to roll and carries pretty darn near every off hit or flush pocket shot, left my share of 8 and 9 pins but an adjustment here and there and i am good to go again.
Is it a miricle ball? nope, no such thing. Is it as good as the other balls on the market, heck yeah, i personally see better performance in a bunch of key areas vs some of the most hyped/best selling stuff on the market, but that is just my opinion
