Title: Switch to Dynothane
Post by: andy257 on February 28, 2007, 05:36:38 AM
Hi

I am considering dropping down to 14lbs again, not totally sure 15lbs is the best weight for me. I have been using Brunswick equipment, which has been quite good for me, but I am interested in Dynothane as I've heard some good things about them recently.

I'm wondering what people here think would be the best medium oil ball choice for a bowler like me. What I know about my game is in my profile.

Thankyou
Andy

44 mag or the 357 great benchmark balls for the price (probably the best on the market) if you want a soaker the ne10 is a very good piece as well

For me, I wonder who is going to stand behind their warranty? If, you purchase any new DT/C300 equipment. DT/C300 until April 6th...then who?

That would be for the distributors to worry about.  I don't know the details of the merger, but I'd have a very hard time believing that Ebonite wouldn't handle the warranty issues.  Legally, they may be obligated to do so, the law can be particular about warranties.  It might end up that you can't get a ball replaced with an identical ball, you may end up having to live with credit or a ball with a similar value.

I agree with BirwinJr, the 44 or Ne10 would be your best bets for medium oil to medium-heavy oil and will be very versatile.

Just my opinion based on the DT equipment I have but I personally wouldn't worry about it, still going strong after hundreds of games with no signs of trouble at all. Not there couldn't be problems but the durability and dependability of DT equipment is second to none. Somehow someway I sure hope the equipment at it's current quality and performance levels stays around a long time.

I'd agree w/ shelley.......distributor would handle for a specified period of time.

From Ebonite....."Ebonite WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for any warranty claims for these product lines produced prior to Ebonite actually producing new products for these lines; that is, any existing product defects will be handled by Columbia Industries (which goes away April 8th). When Ebonite took over Hammer, warranty claims were handled by an east coast distributor for 1 year without any problems, so I would anticipate a similar situation here. Will advise when further information becomes available (and is confirmed by Ebonite Int.)"  <----quote from a ball driller in my area that got this from Ebonite.

i throw a 14 lb.  44 magnum on medium /oily and love it.  zr40 when lanes break down a bit. both balls keep pins low to deck.  14 will hit just as hard as 15 since the motor is the same plus it seems towards the end of the night when the lanes break down a bit, it's easier to put a little more "giddy-up" on it to get it down there.  you won't be sorry.  IMO.
