For all the weeks in our Summer league we had a light oil short oil pattern where I have been averaging 224. I have been using the Jolt solid polished and the 2nd Dimension. I bring my Dynamo at 4000 and the MF at 2000 just in case because this house changes oil patterns at a whim.
I coach juniors on Saturday morning and I noticed during practice (warming up for coaching) that most of the guys who swung their bowling balls out, slid into the gutter and moving them more down and in showed the oil pattern was heavy and long. So on Saturday I had a clue that the oil pattern might have changed.
So Sunday night I throw my 2nd dimension, not a wrinkle. No one has a ball moving. I went and got my Dynamo and threw it and it hardly moved. Then I got a 500 Ablaron pad and scuffed the Dynamo left to right around the whole ball to make it legal. I threw the Dynamo then and the ball hooked all the way to the Brooklyn side. Not only was I amazed, but everyone on the pair was shocked. The Dynamo read the lane too hard and I could not get the ball to the pocket. I went to the MF and shot a 610, only 6 of the night in the house. I should have gone with either 2000 ablaron or 1000 Ablaron first because 500 was way too much surface.
This was the first time I tried the Dynamo at 500 and I was pleased to see the reaction. It tells me the wide range of lane conditions this ball can handle with proper surface adjustments. I have been using Track's Clean and Sheen on the Dynamo and if its too much shine, I knock it off with a 4000 Ablaron pad and this handles most THS shots, except the light, short oil.
