dynamo/virtual gravity
« on: June 03, 2009, 02:56:04 PM »
ok before i left for nationals alot of my friends who already went and came back said that i should condsider picking up a virtual gravity. not being a storm guy i was very reluctant to get one but did so anyways. i have to say i really liked the VG even so much that i bought another one to keep polished. being a big fan of Lane #1 i was wondering if anyone owns both a VG and a dynamo and what are the comparasions between the two. i know both balls are supposedly at 4000 oob. are they to similar to have both?  thanks in advance for all your help

I thought that it was determined in several threads in this forum, that although the website said the Dynamo's stock surface was 4000 grit Abralon, it was really 1000 grit Abralon?

Whether it is or it isn't, don't make the mistake of comparing them at different grit (surface finish) levels. Insure they are the same when you compare them.

That said, a friend, a very good bowler, has his at 2000 grit Abralon plus polish and he loves its reaction.

I was given a Virtual Gravity from a buddy who did not like it, and I already owned a Dynamo and both are layed out almost the same pin next to ring and cg stacked or about 4 x 4 and I have had both at 4000ab and at 1000ab. The Dynamo is the stronger ball by a few boards if that matters to you. The shape of the line is different between the two also, the VG has a more abrupt response to the dry than the Dynamo and more direct line into the pocket with less continuation, the Dynamo has a more sweeping line into the pocket and more continuation. I would usually switch to the VG if the Dyno was too much, but I still needed a strong ball, now I keep the VG at 4000ab and the Dyno at 1000ab to really get some separation and to try to match them up to their strengths within MY GAME, so I would say both are good and different, just depends on your game and the conditions that day. Hope this helps.
