Personally I'd just love to see the The Thing Returns Again.  I am bummed that it was discontinued.  I've had more success with that ball, then any of the other 60 or so balls that I have owned.

I continue to buy Dynothane equipment, but other than the Thing Returns, none of them have matched up well for me in my area.

I like your ideas JTL_Husker.  I'd also like to see the XTC on the CM core.  Maybe the Pure Energy cover on the CM core as well.  I'm thinking maybe Red and Black pearl for the XTC cover.

Like dr3w, I'd just love to see the thing returns again.  Shot my high series with that ball.  And for some inexplicable reason, I sold it.  I still have no idea what I was thinking when I did that....

Thing returns would definately be good to bring back.  Kind of wonder whether there is a replacement in the future under a different name.  Maybe not same core and cover but one with a similar reaction.  I'm a lucky one, I've got a NIB 15lb Thing Returns sitting here waiting to be drilled.  Could just go buy you a track heat.:-p  Looks AWFUL similar.

Andy, oh how sweet was that ball?!? I bought it from you and absolutly loved it. It went 45-50ft and made a instant left turn. It was the perfect ball for playing up the boards. LONG AND STRONG!! and just like you...my dumbass had to sell it. What was I thinking?

These two are very intriguing to me... but wouldn't the core have to be tweaked to make the pearl go longer than the length the cover alone would provide? I have polished my current CM to 2000 w/abralon and got like 5 more feet of length easily. We all know D/T won't purposely overlap balls.

You do have a point there.  Didnt think about the overlap, was just going with ideas.  Considering the research that went into the core of the CM, hard to imagine they could come up with any tweaking to make it better.

I think a ball like the TR (long / strong) is missing in their current line-up.  True the Au79 is strong, but it doesn't get the same kind of length that the TR did.

To be honest a ball like their old XXtra Swirl would be perfect in my eyes...can't say enough good things about that ball.

I agree Goof, TR is my fav ball due to the length and recovery.
Maybe the D/T "Guys" have seen this too, and will pull a newbie out of the hat for us. I'd like to see something in deep purple with a shiney finish, something to mock the Track Threat, I sold a ton of those just on the balls looks.

I have my opinion, now I want yours. Do the Thing Returns and the Zr40 overlap much?
Wish I could tell you as I never got the chance to throw the TR...

...but based on what I've seen of other people throwing the TR and my own experience with the Zr40 I could see where there might be some, but the TR was still really strong on the turn.

Based off the drillings I have one the two, (almost being the same) there appears to be little for the naked eye to see. TR a tad longer, tad sharper. But a definite overlap MHO.

And your opin BY?

Well if there is overlap than I resort back to my original opinion...


...bring the Concept XXTra Swirl back!!!!

The one that I have is 16, but I'm still tempted to throw it.

I vote for the Thing Returns to... uh.. well return of course. I absolutely love it. My Zr40 has a slightly different drilling but is definitely stronger and not near as long as my Thing Returns. I'd love to get a second TR.... maybe  the TR core in the Zr40's cover. In my humble opinion, my TR carried better than my ZR does.... especially on slightly off hits. Dunno if this was a function of the core more or what but it did. Maybe if I polish my Zr I can get the length, but we'll have to see about the hit.
Digs
PS-I definitely wouldn't give up my first born (I love the little guy too much!) for another TR, but I'd come pretty close....

Though I do not have a Zr-40 myself, the only one's I've seen thrown seemed to have more overall hook and an earlier read than my thing returns.  I can't even compare a ball that has rolled so well for me, exept the vendetta black solid.  When I couldnt find a thing returns I was considering the Zr-40 but felt it was too agressive.  Kinda like the idea of the TR core with the Zr's cover though

I would want to see:

a: Energy Cover
b: CM Type Core
C: High-Med RG
d: High Diff

There is not a very good pearl Asym. on the market right now.  The "Awesome Flip" is coming out from Morich, but I still believe there is a "whole" in that technology.  I understand it is hard to put an Asym Core in a pearl shell, but I'm sure Phil could figure it out.  It would be a great compliment to the CM.  And, I'm looking for a Med Oil ball to compliment it as we speak.  A Vedetta Core with a SOlid soaker would be a nice replacement for the Vendetta Black also.

Hey Brenton, If you buy a CM and sand it down, it would handle just as much oil as the PE IMHO.  I'm a speed dominant player myself, and I have no problems with the CM in the soup.

Since so many people are talking about the TR, what about the TR Cover with a weaker version of the CM Core for a Long and Strong Asym to compliment the CM?  It might be the best of both worlds?

Black Vendetta Cover with the Centrifugal Mass core.  For color combo, I'd have to go with a navy blue and dark purple mix, woth silver engraving.  I think they would have themselves a great ball there.  Strong and smooth with a ton of options.

I'd like to see the vendetta core with a Soaker coverstock(either pearl or solid/pearl blend).
 I also would like to see a pearl Anomaly, but I think the diff. might be a bit too high under current rules.

Maybe I'm just being technical, but it wouldn't be the Black Vendetta cover if it was a mix of colors as the resins would likely be slightly different, right?


Anyway...

I'd like to see
Cover: Soaker XTC
Core: Energy
Low RG
High Differential
Yellow/Black

They do for me... I get the same length but my TR had the cg kicked out a little farther though so a little bit more snap off the dry... I am certain they would be very close if drilled exactly.

Just got an e-mail from the other guy, he's at an undiscolosed location near Area 51 testing the next two new releases. What a job, bowling ball "Skunk Works"wonder if he gets paid for it? Or is it all the resin sniffing he can handle? (rolling my eyes)

I hope it is an another high end assymetrical and a Barrage replacement!!!

Of course, a D/T logo'd spare ball might not suck either...

Just snagged a Barrage mysef.  Pretty useful ball.  Takes the place of a spare ball and a Dry lane ball all in one.

I had asked about a new ball to accompany the CP, looks lonely by itself on the site. I got a maybe at a later date answer.

I personally would like to see a lower rg core say down around the 2.45 range with a high RG diff in the HP line, with a polished pearl cover. I'm parcial to mid lane read and a big recovery
