Rate your Dynamo on a scale of 1 to 10
« on: June 03, 2009, 11:48:34 AM »
If you actually own a Dynamo and have used it enough to understand its reaction, rate your Dynamo on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being outstanding. If you don't have a Dynamo....two things...I'm sorry, and your opinion won't be very useful in this thread.

Name calling?  Seriously?  Man some of you guys are in junior high.....pathetic.

And no there is no follow the leader.  It is fact.  I've had a Twisted Fury Destruction (heavy oil ball) and the Dynamo is 6+ boards stronger than it.

Also have Track Phoenix (heavy oil ball) and the Dynamo is easily 5+ boards stronger.

Also have played with heavy oil balls from Hammer and Storm and none compare to how smooth and how much the Dynamo hooks at the break point.  The Dynamo carries so many more single pins and sloppy splits than any of that other crap that's out there.

So, no, we aren't back in kindergarten....unless you're name is Frankie Abralon.

Just wondering how serious the results of this poll can be when the O.P. asks for ratings from 1 to 10 and then rates his a 12!  VERRRRY unbiased.  Actually there are some decent reviews in here on this ball.  And there are some ludicrous ones also.
--------------------
We got a kinder, gentler machine-gun hand


My real rating is 10. I put up 12 because it is 20% more than 10....thought some of you would like that.

Here is the review I posted a while back
-------------------------
BALL SPECS
Pin Length - 3.5
Starting Top Weight - 3.5
Ball Weight - 15

DRILL PATTERN
Pin to PAP - 5
CG to PAP - 5
X Hole (if needed) - n/a
MB Location - No marked MB, but the implied MB is next to the thumb
Drill is pin over ring and cg stacked straight down


BOWLER STYLE
Rev Rate - 350
Ball Speed - 16...less sometimes when the elbow is acting up
PAP/Track - 5 1/4 by 3/8 up


PICTURE AND VIDEO LINKS


SURFACE PREPARATION
Grit - OOB 4k Abralon
Type (Matte, Polish, Sanded) - matte

LANE CONDITION - THS
Length - 37
Volume - Light
Type (Wall, Xmas Tree, Sport) - Wall that varies between dry and over blocked

BALL REACTION
Length - Moderate length, it clears the heads and reads the mids.
Back End - A very hard but controlled and confident arc that just won't stop. It continues right through the deck.
Overall Hook - MEGA hook. This thing will hook in the heaviest oil.
Midlane Read - A very good midlane read that builds to a strong smooth reaction

COMMENTS
Carry - The Dynamo carries EVERYTHING. Exceptional!
Likes - Smooth and powerful. It can smooth out an over-under shot. The ball never rolls out! You can actually play it in the med-dry and the smooth move just starts a lot earlier. You can play it in the puddle and it will still move.
Dislikes - The Dynamo is so smooth and never rolls out, so sometimes I keep it in play when I should go to something weaker.
Other - The reaction of the Dynamo and the Chainsaw are both so smooth, that I have an order in for a THS too.

I have tried the Dynamo on a drier shot using a handshake release and it went 45 feet straight out to the breakpoint and then made a hard smooth arc into the pocket and shattered the rack.

I have not messed with surface on the ball yet, but I have a friend who has his polished and it makes a BIG turn at the breakpoint. I'm keeping mine OOB for oil though. I can't wait for Richie to wrap a weaker cover on this core!

How does the Dynamo compare to other TOP SELLING oilers such as:

Virtual Gravity
Dimension/2nd Dimension
Cell/Rouge Cell
Sauce
Mega Friction

having crossed with all of those balls at one time or another, overall ability on the fresh, fairly equal, the dynamo drives harder IMHO.
 on broken down shots is where the dynamo for me really comes alive, i have way more versitility then bowlers with similar averages as mine on the same lane conditions the balls you list seem to be early and labor on carry down where as the dynamo for me is far better with carry down and in deep

CG,

I love the scoffing/mocking, if that's what it was.  For ME to date, the SCB IS the best heavy oil ball,and if you looked at my ball speed at the breaj point, you would see that.  I have not thrown the Dynamo yet, and if it is better, I will say so.  I see my SCB as a favorite because of the rg/diff, with the heavy particle cover as good, but I am hoping that the dynamo goes ahead of it.  I am getting 10" of flare out of my SCB, with the oil rings starting 1" off the fingers and flaring almost to my weight hole, so u tell me.

I know I'm late resonding but I've been in vegas...using my Dynamo.

OOB for me I would only rate it at 6 It was good don't get me wrong BUT it didn't have the backend I was expecting. That being I do have higher ball speed and have a tendancy to push the ball past the break point.
After 5 games I took the surface down and now would rate the ball at a 10. This is one of those balls that coems along once in a GREAT while. The only other ball I have that I would rate a 10 is my Teal Rhino.
First time I used it after I took the surface down was championship night on my Mon league, shot 267 170 264 = 701. The middle game we hade to move pairs to a pair that is natoriosly squirlly. I made the wrong adjustment, made the right one in the last game.

The Dynamo has a very smooth but very HARD backend reaction to it. It reminded me of my G-Force, but much harder.

I don't have a Dynamo, but I did bowl a SASBA tournament with a guy who used one for about a half game and it didn't match up well for the condition. Not to say that it's a bad ball, you just have to match the ball to the condition. I've drilled and used Lane #1 in my shop before and a friend of mine liked them and used them for several years. They matched up to his style better than mine, he's a high speed with lots of revs and very high track. The SCB was by far the heaviest oil ball I've thrown and for most conditions I wasn't able to use it, it also flared more than any ball I've thrown. I'm not a basher I just like to read reviews from different bowlers using different equipment, cause everybody has their taste and everybody can't still use what they want. As a side note I've used everything from the original black buzzsaw, purple buzzsaw which was one of my favorites to the newer stuff! They make a good product, but it's not my choice to use. Thanks, Bruce

No prob.  I got rid of that POS.  All Lane 1.  Using the Black Cherry Bomb right now.  I was interested in the Destruction and used it.  It is great on heavy.  Not sure what or how you were throwing it?  But it carries nowhere near the Lane 1 line up.  And isn't as smooth down the lanes either.
