(You don't have to reveal it. I'm just curious, as to what type of bowling person told you that.)
If not, do you know which BASF resin is Lane#1 using that the Dynamo hooks so much WITHOUT particles?

Apparently with any Lane #1 ball the core is 80%-90% of the ball reaction (if you ask alot of Lane #1 followers on here).
I'm sure there is some sort of particle in the cover stock. Better off PMing Thomas (Beans) or emailing someone from Lane #1...

No, I have not seen anyone say that, yet. Unless I learn of some new technology that can make this much hook (according to the review I saw on it in BTM), my suspicions lie in the realm of particles. Many, many balls produced by many manufacturers have had particles even when the manufacturer has not advertised such. Heck, they've had them, even when the manufacturer has denied they have particles via a ball rep.
I don't know that the Dynamo has particles. I also don't know that it doesn't. I suspect that it does. Anything is possible. I try to keep an open mind, no matter who says what. I remain curious. I collect facts. Personally it makes no difference to me if it does or it doesn't.

nothing at all wrong with that logic Charlest, but it reacts like a solid, not a particle, and I've never heard anybody call it a particle.

One weird thing though and Doug Sterner mentioned it. The ball comes back with oil rings but by the time you get up again for next turn, the oil has disappeared.
Anyone want to guess what is going on??? In 30+ years of bowling I have never seen this before.....

What's impossible?? Krumpy reports that the Dynamo cornered hard while the Virtuals and Sauces were all DOA in the last 15 feet. It shows that our friends at Lane#1 have done it again. It actually sounds exciting...

You know the Virtual is one of the best selling balls out there!!!! And it ain't just because of it's great looks!!! It performs!!! Sauce, needs a little help. Take the cover down to 2000 or in some cases 1000.

Here's the deal..
I've been bowling for over 40 years and have never seen a ball do this.
I've read through the thread, and I've seen two references to Dynamo miracles:
1) The Dynamo cornered hard while the Virtuals and Sauces were all DOA in the last 15 feet.
2) The Dynamo is an oil sponge
I don't think you have to see visions of the Virgin Mary on water stained walls for either of these reports to be nothing more than matter of fact. What did I miss??

Ahhh, my good buddy Steven..
Here's the deal..
I've been bowling for over 40 years and have never seen a ball do this. I've had balls that match up great to a certain condition and could play the lanes in an area that no one else could get a good look at the pocket. My last 300 with the Fury pearl is a great example.
Two things:
Every SINGLE time Richie comes out with a ball, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and will preform absolute miracles on the lanes. I don't think L#1 EVER made a bad ball im the companies entire history.
I've lived in So Cal since I was 3. Been there, done that, have the annual pass
--------------------
Keep looking... I'm sure there's a 300 in one of those balls you keep buying!!
(\ /)
( . .)
c(')(') here bunny bunny bunny....
I am not a Lane 1 loyalist by any means, just describing what took place last night. I actually don't think oil disappearing before your next throw is a good thing. I have a Thing Returns which is a Soaker coverstock which does not "drink" oil. I had heard somewhere that it was a similar cover as the Break with additives. I have a Break and it does not drink oil so there has to be a difference. I have been bowling for a few years, not quite 40, but I have never seen this either.
Is the Dynamo a "miracle" ball?? Not really, gave me a good look on a shot that is normally a mess. Recovered better than I thought it would, and had some nice pop. I got a great deal on it from my driller and I knew 900G poured it so it was a no brainer to give it a shot.

When a strong ball with a decent mass bias hits a burn in the lane, it will die pretty quickly. Am I saying the VG will not corner?? Far from it. It is one of the strongest balls down the lane that I have seen in a long time. An excellent ball quite frankly. I was just surprised that the Dynamo did not burn up when everything I saw did.

I've actually seen this happen with my Ebonite balls that hav the GB covers on them. You can almost seen the cover suck the oil into the ball. Also, my Break S75 does the same thing. They're oil sponges..

. . . I'm kinda amazed on how loud it hit the pins
. . . but I left so many ten pins - about 10 to 15 in 3 games
. . . I just polished it with 3M Rubbing compound
. . . hoping that it will save up more energy in the backend
. . . I'll see tonight.
