Bowling This Month Magazine Subscribers...Please Help
« on: October 29, 2003, 06:37:56 AM »
I am a new subscriber and only have 2 issues.  I am thinking of buying a Dyno-Thane Element or Vendetta Particle.  I was wondering if someone could check their back issues of BTM and let me know what their rating numbers are for the core torque, flare, length, backend, and total hook.  I would really appreciate it.  Thank you.

Old Length scale was 1 - 10.

New Length scale is 1 - 25.

Old scale was strictly subjective with the Danger Zone being a 3.

New scale is length based the number of feet the ball goes with tweener's full leverage drilling on a certain oil pattern.
