Well I was off for a few months (3 to be exact) and decided I was going to bowl a tourney that weekend. So I figured why not drill my Dynamos'. It worked out because I was asked to sub in a league that Friday night.
I took my first Dynamo 4-5" pin and 2.5 top and shined the crap out of it with the Secret Sauce..What else!!! We're talking crystal clear mirror finish.
Ball #1 5x0 layout.(A personal favorite of mine)
Pin is 5" from PAP on a 45* angle above my fingers in relation to my PAP. The CG and weight hole is on my PAP. Ending statics are 1/2 possitive side and 5/8 finger.
Ball #2 was 2-3" pin and 3.75 top
Drilled 5x3 pin below my middle as my PAP is 4 5/8> and 7/8^
Left out of box. Has 6" hole from the center of grip through CG 2.5" deep and 3/4" in size. CG is slightly below my midline. Ending statics were 3/4 oz finger and +side. Surface left out of box...
So.....I was at my sub night on a med volume house pattern. 40 ft. Very easy actually..
Pulled out #2 and the ball hooked into the 4 pin twice so I put it away.
Out comes #1 and man was it like the perfect match up. Great lenght with good pop and control on the backend. I have a high tilt so my balls really read the backs hard. I was able to swing the lane pretty much but if I never got it out of the big shim in at the 15 board it kind of hung. That hang was gone by the second game and I had the whole lane. Had 213 game 1 with 2 missed spares. Not bowling in months didn't help there. Well then I shot 530 for the last 2 with 15 in a row in the middle of the games. No 300 but was very cool to see the reaction I got. It was exactly like my Black Raspberry with the same layout I had back in the day. Maybe it is the all black ball but was very similar. With this layout the ball does what you want it to do. Hook it, straight, etc.. Really a good layout for the players that can manipulate their releases.
So I go to the tourney and they are pretty tight with a lot of hang outside of 9. looked like a 38-40 ft pattern. Med volume inside. Scores were very low. 86 entries and 14 were +. I was +68 for 4 games and that was good for 2nd high qualifier. Anyways, I pulled out #1 to start becasue I liked the reaction so much on the THS and I had to play tight around 17 to 13 and it looked OK.. 3rd frame I leak it a little and go 2-8-10 so I put it away and bring out #2. Well all I can say is I was actually called a cheater by a guy bowling next to me and he wanted my ball weighed becasue I was able to get it 3-5 boards further right than anyone in the building and have it return. I was so impressed with it. It worked for crap on the THS but was money on the tough stuff. 20 brackets and I won 16 and had a 2nd in 2 others. Not bad.
The finals were match play. 16 player single elimination. Win first match easy 240's to 200. Next match I bowl a PBA member that was out touring the PTQ's all year. Tight match. He was throwing a Virtual Gravity similar layout to my Dynamo and I out hooked him by an arrow. Winner 240 - 220
Catch a bad draw for the top 4 as the match on the other pair was 170-160 to bowl for the title. I leave a 3-6 in the 8th and chop it. Now I have to punch out to make him throw the first strike and I do.. He also strikes so I lose 205-200. Title match was 180-170... If only I made that spare..LOL
Anyways. I was the only player to have 200 in every game. Being rusty I really needed good ball reaction and the Dynamo gave me more miss room than anyone else...
The Dynamo is a keeper. I drilled the Ball#1 layout for 2 other people and it was just as good for them.. Try it!!!
