Author Topic: Tested the new Dynamo tonight (Read 19287 times)

drillwizard · « **on:** December 16, 2008, 01:48:55 PM »

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.

"T-GOD said it in the nutshell. When you sift through all the ridiculous accusations of Lane#1 baby eating cults and other baseless claims of fanaticism, the Lane#1 message is that they offer equipment that gives a different look."

But, Steven. It's Lane#1 that does this and all the other cultist fall in line with that believe.

You know and I know it's just a lot of baseless hype.

Have a Merry Chrsitmas..

It sounds like the only people that seem to continously have an issue with Lane #1, their marketing, or whatever, are the people that take things a little to seriously.

What is worse? The Lane #1 fanatics that you all loathe so much, or those of you who take it all so seriously that you just can't help yourselves when it comes to showing up on a LANE #1 FORUM just to trash Lane #1 and their users?
Another question and I know it's been asked time after time, but never answered. Why do you all have this obsession with coming into a Lane #1 forum just to argue your opinion? If I don't like a show on TV I don't watch it just to get myself all mad. I turn the channel and watch something I do like. You have the same opportunity here.

So what if you personally don't go around heaping praise on your favorite companies and Lane #1 fans do. How does that affect you personally other than irritate you because you don't buy into it?

"To all you Lane#1 fans who aren't in-your-face, we're-better-than-everyone militants, let me reiterate I have no beef with the equipment itself. To all of you who feed the propaganda machine and seriously believe that Lane#1's equipment, all logic and good sense notwithstanding, is undoubtedly better than any other company's, all I can do is wonder how any of you function in society without your mothers wiping the dribble away from your lips and tying your shoes for you."

You are correct, there are two groups within the Lane #1 fan base. But just read this statement I quoted from you. It sounds like nothing more than someone who has nothing better to do than troll around forums looking for something that irritates them so much that they have to go in and rant about their take on it all, lol.

All people are entitled to an opinion. Opinions are just that, opinions. Opinions are neither right nor wrong, just someone's take on a particular topic.

If I didn't know some of those aforementioned in-your-face, we're-better-than-everyone militants in real life, I probably would be more indifferent. But these Lane#1 fanatics are just on another level from hardcore fans of every other company, and not in a good way.

And for the record, who said I was irritated? The only people in this forum who ever get irritated are the Lane#1 gurus that take offense to the slightest bit of negativity directed their way. If these people had a little thicker skin, Lane#1 would just be another company. And since you seem to think I'm a troll, I take it you're one of the hardcore people who preach to anyone who will listen that Lane#1 is the best, period. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten all wound up over my post.

I mean, I just love your post. You accuse me of trashing Lane#1 users, yet I only trashed the same people that almost *everyone* in the bowling community finds annoying, which is, I assume, the small minority of Lane#1 users. But thanks to your minimal reading interpretation skills, you assume I'm taking this all too seriously, trashing everyone associated with Lane#1, and trolling.

Anyways, thanks for proving my original point. Well played, sir.

Vince: I'm not sure we'll ever agree on the significance of what you believe to be 'baseless hype'. After years of being a ball whore of proportions only exceeded by you

, I've read it and seen all from each company. Look at the Brunswick Fury debacle. Brunswick hyped the Fury as the ball that would revolutionize future high performance bowling. Instead, we witnessed the one of the biggest flops in ball release history. It's amazing how this was conveniently swept under the rug by the broader Big B community. The point is that 'hype' is part of all the ball company's marketing bag of tricks. We all just need to chill out and take it for what it's worth.

Regardless, you have a Merry Christmas too.

I feel the same way you do about the over the top fanatics. My point is: I am still amazed that everyone let's it get to them. Especially when they know it's only a certain group of fans that are out of touch with reality anyway. To me, arguing with them about their fanaticism is equivilant to arguing with a 2nd grader about, well just about anything, lol.

"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."

Uh oh, he has to get that "super rare" status in there. Next thing we'll see is this "super rare" test ball on the market for $300 plus, lol.

I'm about as big a Lane #1 fan as there is out there. But I must say that there are quite a few out there, such as yourself, that makes me ashamed to admit it.

"My boys took care of me again", lol. Any pro shop can get on the test ball list, you just happen to be one of the many, so quit acting like you are someone special, lol.

How you get to be a tester with your lack of review skills is beyond me.

Firstly, I have no ill will towards any normal Lane#1 users. But after meeting several of the rabid fanatics over the years, it's just soured me on Lane#1. That being said, there is no shame in admitting you throw Lane#1. If you met me, introduced yourself, and told me you threw Lane#1 without managing to quote 25 physics studies, insist Lane#1 was the best company for every bowler alive, and tell me after every corner pin I left that Lane#1 would have carried that with a dead serious look on your face, I wouldn't really think twice about it. But I agree: arguing with some of these people is futile, since no amount of common sense seems to faze them.

Can you point to any other ball company that guarantees higher score and an increase in average. Double the hook, double the backend and double your high scores? No? That because they don't.

As far as the higher average claim, as I've outlined to you several times, it proved true for me. Equipment that is true rolling over diverse conditions will tend to do that for you. I know this doesn't meet your paradigm of the bowling landscape, but the reality still holds.

As for the other Lane#1 marketing claims, many are over the edge. But remember, all ball companies make equipment performance claims that are to some degree over the edge. Once you're over the edge, you're over the edge. Splitting hairs over semantics is an exercise in being overly picky.

quote:

Also, if the balls a turd (which the Fury line was for the most part)no one that I know of is going to imply that there's nothing wrong with the ball and it's all operator error because of surface, bottom weight, side weight, cg placement..yada..yada...yada.

au contraire.....when I questioned the performance of my Fury on the Brunswick forum, I received dozens of posts questioning and criticizing my pin-to-pap selection, weight hole size/location, cover grit, etc. Not a single Big 'B' homeboy came forward and said "well, this isn't one of our finest pieces. Just chalk this one up to a Brunswick black eye". Of course, time and history proved otherwise.

quote:

The Bustbomb did have cover issues which no one ever heard of and they didn't admit to. But, kudos to them for replacing these turds that didn't perform as advertised.

I own 20+ Lane#1 balls, and I've never experienced a cover issue. There have been a few releases I really didn't care for (anything with pieces of the Bomb core chopped off), but I honestly believe that these 'cover issue' claims are questionable at best.

I've won enough money with my 'Bustbomb' to buy a couple of extra for storage. My Buzzbomb was the difference for me and my team winning our last league roll off instead of going home with honorable mention. While many of the other bowlers were struggling with the fresh soup, the Buzzbomb gave a good look.

There are a few Lane#1 balls where we could have an honest conversation about performance pitfalls, but the Buzzbomb is not one of them.

Hope you have a happy new year..

The same to you !!

While everyone on this forum knows I am a Lane 1 fan I have to ask a simple question...

Why is it that every single issue people are citing here as "over-hyped marketing" are the claims with the BuzzBomb? The double the backend, hook and scores claims were all with the BuzzBomb. What about teh other balls? I don't see hardly any other examples cited here or anywhere for that matter. Remember the claims were all aimed at thier new Doubler Doomsday core...the first time Lane 1 had used double flip block on their core.

The BuzzBomb is a fine piece. Did it live up to the "oil ball to replace all oiol balls" hype? No it did not but you know what? It is one of the finest pieces for heavier mediums that I have seen. The ball is incredibly versatile, driller friendly and takes surface adjustments as well as hand and speed changes incredibly well.

The Dynamo is going to be a great ball from what I have seen. The core specs when mated with the coverstock will keep that patented Lane 1 roll but will do it later on the lane.

I agree with many posters here...if more people would try the balls instead of bashing them, they cold add a valued reaction to their arsenal.

Lane 1 Buzzsaw...The Official Power Tool Of Bowling

holland1945 · « **Reply #83 on:** December 29, 2008, 12:19:04 PM »

OMG guys, this is the one right here. Got a super-secret test ball from my super-secret contact at <location-withheld>, aka Lane #1's underground HQ that only a select group of 5 people worldwide know about (one of whom is Batman). I was shocked and a little disappointed to find that my ball came with an 8" pin, but then I realized - I can kick this CG out so far that it's going be the most powerful ball ever!!!!!! Maybe even a replacement for my Messenger Ti Lightweight (I throw 12 pounds) which everybody knows still to this day has been the best ball ever made.

I drilled this baby pin 3 3/8" from PAP with the CG kicked out 180 degrees so it was on the other side of the ball! Didn't test statics or drill a hole because I first wanted to see what this was capable of. Headed down to Great Wall Lanes in China, TX, where I carry a 260 average, and boy was I not disappointed. I found no matter what I did, as long as I got the ball out to 5 it came CHARGING back for a strike. I mean true, every other ball (even my Blue Dot) does that here, but I know that this ball is hitting harder than anything else because it has the patented DIAMOND CORE. I mean, that's even better than the liquid core ball Homer Simpson was going on about way back when, right? This ball has so much magic juju that I can feel it tingling on my hands. I guess it could be that my thumbhole is too tight because my driller sucks, but I don't think so - magic juju!

So I kept throwing this ball and kept striking. I never threw it quite the same way or line twice and it just kept charging back to the hole every time it hit that 5 board! It was like this ball had the invisible hand of god (or a bumper raised up by the bowling alley) causing this ball to violently disobey the laws of physics when it changed direction! 25 300's in a row later I started to get tired, so you would think I'd probably miss or dump one in the channel. Nope - it's like it would SENSE my inaccuracies and correct them. Too little hand and it would swing out less and arc more, too much and it would just spin and churn and snap at the end! Move left and it covers more boards, move right and it covers less! It's like there's a Dynamo magnet in the 1-3!

This ball truly is the 8th wonder of the world. I can't believe the USBC is going to let Lane #1 sell this ball - it will truly change bowling. Now winners will have to be determined by a coin flip or something because everybody's going to be having perfect games every time. Or maybe with perfect scores being a given, the winner will be determined by style points gymnastics style. Don't think Scroggy can do a cartwheel? He'll have to learn if he wants to hack it in this new world of bowling.

I don't know what they plan on charging for this ball but clearly it needs to be more...a lot more. All the other companies are going to go out of business so Lane #1 will be subsidizing the entire bowling industry. Is $500 per ball enough? $750? I don't know.

If I was you I'd put in a preorder for this ball if you can, and be ready to toss the rest of your stuff to the curb! Also feel free to drop to 12 pounds to save the wear and tear on your arm - a 300 is a 300 no matter the weight of the ball, right?

It took many years, but we do finally have a new king of the mountain to replace the Messenger Ti Lightweight. It's name is Lane #1 Dynamo, and hell hath no fury like a Dynamo scorned!

Holland (THB): If you had a dollar for every time you've averaged over 200, you'd be able to buy one really cheap hamburger. You should be jumping up and down for joy at the prospect of having a ball that can bring you the illusion of bowling credibility.

Try to be thankful.......
