Author Topic: Tested the new Dynamo tonight (Read 19291 times)

My boys took care of me again and sent me the super rare Dynamo test ball with no logos just plain black on black Johhny Cash style, with a silver pin.

This is the new Lane 1 ball coming out soon, its the Dynamo. My test ball is blank black with no logos at all. I only got to throw the ball about 1 game tonight cause the condition laid out in this league is way dry, I usually have to use my Chainsaw. But I wanted to play with the new toy. Anyways I punched it up 4 3/4 x 4 no weight hole. This tester has roughly a matte finish to it. I cant wait to throw this on some oil in this out of box state.

I could swing this ball and hook it a ton and still carry or take all the hand out if it and play it somewhat in the track area, and it still carried exceptional. I am going to put a high polish on it tomorrow and try it out again and will post back with the results. If I can get this thing to get like glass I think I can put some huge numbers up with it.

I have a feeling this will have a real good chance to take ball of the year honors, with this cover and core combo.

Cant wait to see the final logos and product, in a month or so.

Where in any of these do you see the claim of double to hook, double the backend? Increase your average by 10+ pins??

I see them touting a new cover (as all will do) but no claims of miracles here

A ridiculous statment is that, a ridiculous statement. Whether it will be that your scores will double or you will getted scared by a ball is the same thing. I do not buy balls based on marketing. If you do and don't agree with Lanes's so be it.

1. Diamond core is the best..? They have a physic study on their website done by an independent research that clearly demonstrates that the diamond core generates at least 20% more energy than any other shape, everything else being equal. That's physics facts proven.

2. More 300 games than any other company..? They say that you get more 300's and 800's PER BALL than any other company. That's not highest toal award scores, but the average per ball is more. More power + more control = more 300's & 800's. Clearly the laws of physics are working here.

3. Improve your scores by 10 pins or more..? If you use the product correctly, and get used to the differences in reaction, as compared to your other equipment, most everyone will increase their average. The more room for improvement, the higher your average will be raised. If you're averaging 230, you probably won't go to 240, maybe 235 though. More power + more control = more strikes = higher scores. Again, that's the laws of physics working.

4. Double your hook, double your score..? They said double your high scores, not double your score. Double your hook, that's debatable and probably a stretch, so we'll give you that one.

These balls ARE really really good. I wouldn't be so negative, especially if you're looking to bowl higher scores more consistently. =:^D

That study is accurate from a physics standpoint, but it's applicability to pin carry is utterly bogus. Don't make me dredge up that thread from a year or so ago where I illustrated this.

Here is another. I know of 5 balls that will out hook and perform this ball.

And I still do not find a problem with anyones marketing...

Description: New in Ebonite''''s High Performance category will be the NVD. The NVD will be the strongest ball in overall ball motion to date. In order to accomplish this strong ball performance, Ebonite modified the cover slightly by adding more friction enhancing capabilities and changed the core design to offer a lower RG with a higher mass bias rating.

Our prices are every bit competetive with every other top line ball price.

I pay more for the High End Storm balls right now than any Lane#1 ball.

This may have been true in the past but those times are over.

The only issue I have had with Lane 1's marketing is the fact the girl in the Chainsaw ad should have been Jen...THEN that would be some great marketing!

I never known any ball companies to claim that they can increase scores by 10 pins or better.

Inverted, I had an Agent Orange drilled up today and threw 4 games with it after getting it drilled and averaged not 10 pins over my average, but 30 pins over my average for the 4 games. I shot 182-201-205-225 for a 203 average vs my league average of 173.

And....my normal line is playing on the edge of the oil line which is in the 10 board area and today with the Agent Orange, I was able to move left to the 27 board, throw over 17 out to the 7 board area and the ball came back to the pocket without any problem at all. Normally I stand on 20 and throw down 10. This is the first ball that I have ever been able to move that far left and throw right that much and have the ball get back to the pocket with authority. Double the hook??? I don't know if it was double or not, but it was a "H" of a lot more hook than I normally throw.

Two years ago, I was struggling with a 169 average with Legends/Lanemaster balls. In early December, I dumped them and bought an EU and a Solid Cobalt and raised my average to 186 by the end of the season. That was a 17 pin raise in average which again is more than 10 pins.

I'll admit that a bowler shooting a 225-230 average probably isn't going to raise his average 10 pins switching to Lane 1, but a bowler with averages up to at least 190 can very well raise their average 10 pins if they match up with Lane 1 balls such as I did, so to sum it up, it can very well happen for others as it did for me. Now for people that don't match up to Lane 1 balls, it won't happen just like I didn't match up to Legends/Lanemater balls.

I think what all the advertisements mean is that the potential is there for it to happen. I don't know if the ads say "guaranteed to raise etc." or not as I never pay any attention to the ads. Maybe you should do the same as I do there. Might even help you sleep better also.

Yes but did the shop replace it or did the Mighty BIG B replace it???

I had (2) grossly undersized balls that came to my shop that I tried to send back and "NOTHING" was done about it...

NOTHING!!!!!!

I myself replaced the balls for my customers at a loss to keep the customers happy.

I had a Black Widow Venom that rolled like garbage for a customer and Jeff Ussery had me send the ball back to be checked. They would not replace it with a new 1st quality but offered to replace it with a NIB X-out but did send a few shirts and other nice gifts for my customer. AT LEAST THEY TRIED!!

Chad Murphy at Columbia 300 has always been good to deal with as well as Brian Purcell and Ed Gallagher with Ebonite over the years.

Some companies do go out of their way but I will argue "not as a Lane#1 Staff member" but as a Pro Shop owner. Lane#1 has and will always stand by their products.

So much so that we offered a 100% money back guarantee on any balls drilled at the booth last year. With that said.... We had 1 ball returned.

In fact, I truly believe that you are the target market for Lane #1. It may certainly be true that you can raise your average with this equipment due to the nature of the ball.

OddInverted1: We've had the discussion several times in the past about Lane#1 claims regarding achieving higher averages with their equipment.

If you use the equipment properly, it's a fact. For many years I averaged consistently in the 220-223 range. I gradually switched to Lane#1 (as I started seeing results) and had two consecutive seasons at 230 and 234. Given that I'm older and frail with all kinds of physical challenges

, it wasn't a question of just 'getting better' or suddenly discovering new improved techniques.

Lane#1 offers some of the most even rolling equipment on the market, so how can someone not achieve more consistency in their game if they have sound mechanics and play the lanes properly??

The 'target market' for Lane#1 are any bowlers who want to improve their game. It doesn't matter if you're a 190 or 220 average bowler -- use the tool properly and it will assist you in achieving noticeable improvements.
