Rob,  some people on the Lane #1 site are not exactly happy with the way BR.COM members voted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They seem to feel that it was a popularity contest!!!!!  You know kinda sorta the way Obama got elected

They seem to feel that BR.COM members did not vote base on performance!!!!
Yet they voted for the dynamo on performance.

go figure

Anyway, the voice of BR.COM was asked, and they responded!!!!

I'm actually surprised that the hyroad got the most votes.  I have seen more cells being used than anyother ball.  Well at least in my area.

Chitown,  My thoughts exactly.  Just started seeing them recently around here.

But then again, our houses are 5 boards wider,  so we see a lot of Dynamo's

I recently sold my HyRoad.  I hated the ball.  In box condition the ball just skated on the conditions I bowl on.  Brought the cover down to 2000 grit and it reacted much better but the carry sucked.  I didn't have much use for the ball after that.

I liked the Troad solid much better.
