anomaly?
« on: December 26, 2003, 02:11:10 AM »
I was offered this ball @ a good price si decided to order it. I have it on the way and am curious as to the actual strength of the ball.I recently  "last night" drilled an inferno pin slightly above ring 4-1/4x45 degrees and absolutley love it.I also have a new trauma er I just drilled last week 4-1/4x0 degrees and it is not quite enough on longer oil like I had hoped.This is why I have the anomaly coming somthing with some bite and continuation on the back in oil.

Question two how much stronger is it compared to the thing.I have one and was thinking about drilling it to complement the anomaly but not if it is in the same range for oil handleing capabilities as the inferno.Would the TWO overlap?inferno and thing that is.

Any input would be great.I want to use the anomaly on a typicle house shot on travele league with longer oil.

Check the previous threads on the Anomaly. PLUS I just got the Jan Bowling This Month review of it.

Both confirm that it is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than any Inferno yet made.

It is a TRUE heavy oil ball with maximum reaction, according to the BTM review.

I can just see all the whiners saying "My Anomaly doesn't hook at all" because the a**holes are using it on the wrong condition. This WILL happen; just wait and see.

Ok how about my other question?Do you think it would be worth the ball to drill the thing or will thier be a chance of the inferno and thing overlaping.

I think the THING and the Inferno will over lap slightly. The difference between them, and the reason I chose the THING over the Inferno is the soaker coverstock.

The Anomaly is definately stronger than the THING. I just drilled a Raging Inferno tonight.....and the Anomaly is stronger than that ball as well. The Raging was used, so I kept the same drill----pin in ring finger, and cg kicked out slightly. I had the raging sanded down to 400 grit, and the Anomaly still has the Factory finish(1000 grit smooth), the Anomaly was still still stronger and this was on a very heavy oil shot----43 ft buffed to 45 ft. Where the Raging is not a disappointment by any means, the Anomaly just SHINES in comparison.

Not necessarily. This ball is just an anomaly, better than its specs indicate..

This is why I ordered it to see if it out preforms its numbers.It is said that it is a perfect match of core and cover witch makes it 100% efficient don't know if this could be true if you lay it out wrong.But the potential is thier.I like the Idea of less is more,the less I have to do to get the ball to work the better I could be by just concentrating on the other aspects of the game.Also why is it 20-30 dollars cheaper than the other Dynothane balls.

The man "looks a gift horse in the mouth". You are a dick.

Check out the Lane#1 thread; people there are constantly whining about other's having to pay too much for their Lane#1 balls!

Ok, understand a ball company can have a following but it doesn't make sense to over charge just for a particular core shape over any other. The Diamond shape core is yes a "proven" core but so is the standard pancake and lightbulb styles ones too.

Lane 1 made in brunswick factory, ok that is a well known fact. Another well known fact, Dynothane is made in the storm factory. So why do you listen when the company uses that as an excuse to explain why there prices are higher than other average high end releases. With there own actual tour staff( dynothane has, Lane one does not), with new cover designs( soaker), and lane one using brunswick covers and there special patented Diamond core. Logically i can explain spending more on a dynothane ball that a comparably priced ball from example : storm. But in fact there priced slightly lower than high end releases from storm.

IF you think for a few minutes using your business caps. The dynothane profit margins are likely lower per ball than Lane One's is. They have to deal with the middle man( manufactures) to get the product to your proshop too. So does lane one but they charge everyone below them in the supply chain more. To me it doesn't make sense to charge more. Dynothane's balls and business practices to me make alot more sense than lane one's. That is why i can easily justify buying a dyno ball over a Lane one ball any day.

Dynothane= Very Good Product, at better than market prices.
Lane 1= Good Product that gets rehashed, at unreasonable prices.

If a company like track for example used the Morpheus core in all it's balls as it's basis for there core design what would you think? Little stale? Don't ya say? Balls are honestly not as well marketed by lane one as Dynothane's are. Although i do love the flash video music to Lane 1's site( gooooo TCM!!!) and dynothane does have any flash graphics. ( Tony, lol how bout some cool bowling vids, it's all the crazy in the Lane one forums )

Just two cents from a former proshop operator that would rather drill and sell a customer a ball from Dyno than Lane 1.

Dude,

You are swiping a thread for no reason. We didn't need a diatribe against Lane#1. That was not my point at all. Read my simple statement, again, carefully, and please do not put words in my mouth. What I was trying to say was that some not-so-smart people had the gall to complain about OTHER people paying too much for Lane#1 balls.

The people complaining were not buying Lane#1 balls.
The people buying Lane#1 balls were, for the 99% case, not complaining about the price.

End of story.

Well I used my anomaly yesterday on a house shot that puts out a pretty good volume of oil not sure of the units but its heavy.They put out so much because the heads have pot holes in the first 15 feet with the coating peeling up inside from all the open play.This ball was a nice change from my ER and inferno.The anomaly is a heavy rolling ball with A whole lot of Continuation.I was able to sweep the brackets both sets of my travel league winning 660.00,paying for this ball and two more just like it.674 first set and 664 second set.I was happy that the ball was playable the second set after the heads went away inside I was able to move right into the grave yard and play a weak handed skid flip shot around 7-4 and score from thier for the last game and half.

This ball finished when the ER couldn't and read the oil line/break point when the inferno would push threw it.I need to get some more games on this ball to see how I will drill the other two But I have an idea.Look in my profile for layouts and other info.

Hey, back off, Tony.  You already got a bunch of these here Anomalies, while I <sniff, sniff> have none.  Oh, the irony of it all (don't ask my why it's ironical, it just sounded good)!

I think I'm gonna set up a paypal account, so people can donate to my "Help Me Anomalize" fund.  Whaddya think?

Yep Ive been needing a shot in the arm and this ball is it.Hey tony you've bowled at diamond before in pasadena TX.DO you know how bad the heads are.

As for layout I drilled it 4x90 degrees pin low threw a few shots and felt I needed a bit earlier move so I scuffed it a touch with scotch brite pad and had fun.

I was thinking about going 4x45 degrees pin even to be a little smoother on the back and actualy check up better than the inferno will on longer oil.this is the layout I like to use alot and is on the inferno.The inferno works better on shorter patterns.I know for sure I will get one more but I will decide about the other one later after I get more games on this one and the new one.

no I am not giving anyone any money.

Diamond Lanes?!!!  Jimmy Young's house, yes I know the house well.  The PBA SW Region Resident Pro event was there last year and the lanes start off fine cause they put down a lot of oil, then it goes away... I mean there are camels in the heads caughing and wheezing it's so dry.  If you couldn't loft the ball over the corner of the gutter you didn't have a shot by game 8.  Ugly house... needs new heads bad.
