The time has come to consider one simple principal in the world of bowling equipment and that is Dynothane is a step above everyone else.
The new "Centrifugal Mass" comes to us with a all new asymmetrical core design that gives us a ball movement never seen in previous Dynothane Ball releases.
This ball does feature the "Tested and Proven" ATC Blended Soaker coverstock that is very friendly and easy to adjust to different lane conditions.
We drilled our our "C-Mass" with the pin 3-3/8" from the PAP and the Mass Bias Cap in the strong position. We ending up with putting a balance hole at 6-1/2" from the grip center threw the CG mark. This drilling layout is what many would call "Full or Strong Leverage" As always, we wanted to MAX this ball out and see how it would perform on a variety of lane conditions.
We left this ball in "Out of the Box" finish, 800 grit smooth.
Our bowling center had just dressed the lanes with what we will call a "Typical House Shot", medium oil lane conditions at best with clean backends. I invited three of my bowling buddies to join me so we could track up the lanes faster and get a better read from this ball when "Carry Down" took effect. From the very first roll, this ball wanted to go very early and make its move..... and the move that it made was a very strong "Hook & Set" ball motion.
After six frames of attemping to get this ball down the lane, we realized that a shell adjustment was needed. Out of the box at 800 grit was too strong a coverstock adjustment for this "Tweener". So it was back to the ball spinner for a 1000 grit Abralon pad adjustment and no polish.
This time the "C-Mass" picked up alittle more length, but still wanted to move too early. So it was back to the ball spinner again, this time adjusting the coverstock with a 2000 grit Abralon pad, no polish.
After five frames with this coverstock adjustment we believed the match was right on! Now the "C-Mass" got down the lane with energy and made a strong "Hook & Set" ball motion to the pocket. "WHAM!" Pins were flying everywhere! We continued to roll three more complete games with this shell adjustment and found that as long as we moved left with our feet and followed the oil line, the ball continued to make its strong move to the pocket. If we strayed abit too far outside the ball let us know real quick that was a No No!
After four complete games the ball started flexing more muscle and did not quit when we knew that "carry down" was taking effect. The "C-Mass" continued its "Hook & Set" ball motion as if it was ignoring the carry down.
There was no loss of hit and carry! Pin devastation was the word being used!
We took a short break and then we went back to the same pair of lanes that we started out on. We expected that the new "C-Mass" would need some additional coverstock adjustments or we would realize that it was just time to put it away.
Those who bowl with me learn really quick that I do not like playing the lanes very deep inside because of my "Tweener" release. I am medium Rev's and medium ball speed at best. We started bowling game five and I found that I was needing to continue to follow the oil line inside to keep the ball from checking up too early. I also was expecting to soon lose my good angle to the pocket and start leaving the corner pin more. As I continued to finish my sixth complete game, my bowling buddies were amazed on how "Deep" I was playing the lanes with out loss of pin carry. The "C-Mass" with its "Hook & Set" ball motion provided me with great continuation threw the pins. I was playing the lanes very deep and well above my normal comfort level for this inside line. But I found great confidence that this ball would not let me down and carry!
It was also league play night, so I was looking forward to three more games later this evening. I took my full 15 minutes of league practice time and I was tempted to run to the ball spinner and throw alittle polish on the ball, but I decide at the last moment just to leave the shell alone at 2000 grit abralon. First game in league play was a 259. Second game 239, and the third game was 215. Besides the fact of being alittle physically tired from a long day, I thought the ball held up well in actual league play with 10 bowlers breaking down the lanes. I was impressed with the great hitting power!
Those of you who have had any experience with Dynothane Bowling Balls know exactly what I am talking about when it comes to "Hitting Power" and on the lane ball performance. But this new ball the "C-Mass" raises the bar higher!
I believe this ball to be an excellent addition to any bowlers arsenal who needs help too over come carry down and play tight inside angles.
With the very friendly coverstock the "C-Mass" will be easy to adjust to a wide range of lane conditions.
I Highly recommend this ball to all bowlers! Those of you who bowl tournaments this ball is a MUST! I do suggest you talk with your Proshop Professional or Proshop driller when it comes to a personal layout for this ball.
Not everyone needs the strongest drilling! and please keep in mind that the drilling layout needs to be properly matched to your personal bowling needs and "PAP", (personal axis point).
Those of you who have never tried a Dynothane ball before should get this one to experience what you have been missing!
