Title: Element Au79 Photos Now Online
Post by: bamaster on April 18, 2004, 04:42:35 AM
Sorry for the delay folks.  

I've just updated the Dyno-thane website with the new ELEMENT AU79, with photos of course.

Element Au79 on Dyno-thane's Website. Click Here. (http://"http://www.dynothane.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=46&Itemid=57")

Not a bad looking ball in my opinion.  I like the colors better than the first Element.  I haven't thrown it yet, but if this ball has the readability as the original Thing, it's going to be a great ball!

I've always felt the Element was a stronger ball than the Thing.  Having both of them would be perfect.

I don't think that ball looks like any I've seen. It's a great looking ball!

the core in this ball i believe is an old power bolt core. possibly even older than that.

New Guy,

I think the element series can produce quite few names. I also like the Vendetta name.

SCI-FI,mafia and the periodic table. odd combo.

since you are one of the few who answers all questions..

what is the shell thickness of this ball?

and does that matter?

Now ....Hmmmmmmmm.....let me see...............I wonder who wrote/approved the text for this ???? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

From the D/T website: Element Au79 Description:

No need for smoke and mirrors, this ball flat-out performs. Don't look for the magic spots, it's unnecessary. Like its predecessor, the Element Au79's core is symmetrical. This translates to a ball that's easy to drill and even easier to rack up the big scores.

Is this another "shot?"

I'm not sensitive about the subject at all, ...I just find it humorous how often you do "take shots" ...that's all....we've talked about it before...you're proud of your product, period! Nothin' wrong with that..

I didn't say you wrote it...just "sounds" an aweful lot like you

To add to what is being said I talked to one of the guys that was throwing a au79 and he said it would be a hell of a typical house shot "wall ball" ball. The ball had some serious backend to it. It was drilled pin high above the fingers and cg was kicked right a little bit 1" to 1-1/2" off of the grip midline. It looked to be about a 3-4 or 4-5 inch pin out and realy bounced off of what little bit of dry there was. I concured with the person throwing it that it seemed to have a little bit of over/under but mostly think it was because of the lengthy drilling and longer than normal oil pattern. I threw some of my stuff on the same shot and I realy didnt have anything with me that would compare to what this ball was showing except for maybe my gold nugget.

Maybe it needs a Q-Link nugget at the center!

3 primary: red, blue and yellow
3 secondary: purple, green and orange
white and black
Is Silver an amalgam of others?

For this one, why not the simple: Element Hybrid, since it's a combo of solid and pearl.

I understand the "Thing" because you were creating a modern version of one of your best known creations.

Do you know how much they are going to sell for?  Drill with grips and slug?

Looks good. Should perform well with this coverstock and Storms SkyBolt core.
