Author Topic: Tested the new Dynamo tonight (Read 18604 times)

drillwizard · « **on:** December 16, 2008, 01:48:55 PM »

My boys took care of me again and sent me the super rare Dynamo test ball with no logos just plain black on black Johhny Cash style, with a silver pin.

This is the new Lane 1 ball coming out soon, its the Dynamo. My test ball is blank black with no logos at all. I only got to throw the ball about 1 game tonight cause the condition laid out in this league is way dry, I usually have to use my Chainsaw. But I wanted to play with the new toy. Anyways I punched it up 4 3/4 x 4 no weight hole. This tester has roughly a matte finish to it. I cant wait to throw this on some oil in this out of box state.

I could swing this ball and hook it a ton and still carry or take all the hand out if it and play it somewhat in the track area, and it still carried exceptional. I am going to put a high polish on it tomorrow and try it out again and will post back with the results. If I can get this thing to get like glass I think I can put some huge numbers up with it.

I have a feeling this will have a real good chance to take ball of the year honors, with this cover and core combo.

Cant wait to see the final logos and product, in a month or so.

My suggestion to you is that if you're tired of those like myself "whining" about Lane #1, stick to the one of the plethora of options that are Lane #1 focused so you can have a little incestuous circle jerk about how pretty your bowling balls are with no criticism from the likes of myself and others.

Holland, my advice to morons like yourself is..... if you don't like what Lane 1 does, then as already said before, STAY OUT OF THE LANE 1 FORUM and you might be able to sleep at night for a change. Might also help from having your panties bunched up in a knot all of the time. Would you like some cheese with your whine???

Believe me, I sleep just fine at night. And the only panties in a bunch are your mom's on the floor after I'm done with her

Holland,

I know how you are treated in the non-bowling forum regarding politics. Why would you want to turn around and treat others that way in the bowling section?

...and Brick's mom is probably 100 yrs old by now

Holland, my Mother died of cancer July 1st, 1958, so it was your own Mom that you did and you bunched her panties up in the process. Did you enjoy it while you were doing her?

Holland/THB: Some observations:

Given your nonexistent experience with Lane#1, as well as your personal trials as a bowler, why do feel positioned to offer advice and conclude 'a potential mistake' might be made?

From sheer observation of reality that quite frankly Lane #1 fanboys like yourself fail to provide in an objective way. I list reasons in which Lane #1 could quite possibly be superior, but those such as yourself fail to accept the fact that even though you believe Lane #1 to be superior, that may not be the case all the time and you can't even imagine a situation in which that would be so.

quote:
I'm honored that your opinion on Lane#1 marketing is the end all on the subject. The fact is that all companies embellish to some degree in marketing. You're like a dog who can never figure out there is no meat left on the bone.

Straw man, bad analogy, and two wrongs make a right to justify Lane #1's marketing. Awesome.

quote:
One of the few observations you've got right. In the interests of balance I have to give you credit here.

If you were interested in balance, you would have spent a lot more time looking at what I said, rather than who said it.

quote:
Hmmm. Now where did you pick this up? Are you simply parroting this from another Lane#1 troll, or do you have real information? I've never seen marketing material stating Lane#1 is going after the 175 bowler. Please point out any published Lane#1 marketing that substantiates your claim.

All the claims of huge gains in average and such are clearly not intended for top bowlers - they know better, and it really isn't possible to have gains of the size they are claiming if you're already in the top 1% of average. But I'm sorry, I do not have a copy of Lane #1's corporate marketing strategy to prove my point to you...I'm just going by common sense, which admittedly is pretty uncommon when it comes to Lane #1 so who knows? Maybe they DO think a bowler who is already averaging 240 with other equipment can get up to 250 by doing nothing else than switching to Lane #1.

quote:
Pros use whatever company provides them the most incentive -- period. Pros are money whores (just like the rest of us), and they follow the scent of the all mighty buck. As far as amateurs, you can't possibly have any clue about who accomplishes what with the product.

I can be at tournaments and not see a single Lane #1 ball other than my red XXXL. I can see posts here and news items that talk about accomplishments and equipment used and it's never Lane #1 beyond a house hack throwing a 300/800, which is accomplished with all brands. And there are free agent pros out there - who are not using Lane #1 - and when Lane #1 HAS been on TV they have fallen flat no matter who the bowler might be. And you can't use the small company card here because of how successful MoRich has been on all levels

It's sad that people like you have to attack people like me to keep the myth going, when you probably are not even being paid for your efforts. With most companies, astroturfer is a paid position.

here is where everyone gets all carried away, we as lane 1 users have said it time and time again, you DO NOT PAY A PREMIUM for the lane 1 brand, they are no more expensive then the top line storm, morich or big b balls, the differential is so small anymore that it is a moot point

I'm sorry, but I disagree that $25 per ball is a small difference. If I'm building a 6 ball arsenal, that difference will get me a 7th ball from another company, or keep $150 in my pocket. That's a humongous difference to the average person, especially right now.

quote:
now if we want to talk about match up which all you that are trying to educate the 175 bowlers tend to forget about. matchup is what makes the end user happy with his purchase. working out of a proshop that sells a lot of lane 1 i can tell you we have had people come in that have stepped up from the grooves, tropical storms and such into their first high performance ball, usually an ebo or hammer as the other shop in town pushes them. they come in and are not happy with their new purchase, the shop spends time tries to help with their new hammer or ebo or big b first and get it to work. if that doesnt get there we show them some lane 1 stuff. 95% of those 175 bowlers end up happier with that lane 1 ball vs that other brand, why i dont know for sure, but my guess is they get a great roll and very good hit vs some hook or jerky action from the other stuff

Look, you're a shop owner, and one of the most prominent Lane #1 guys out there. I get that, and in that regard, you're not any different from most shop owners because most of them are strongly tied to one company or another. But trying to make the wrong Ebo/Bruns ball work with a person vs. choosing the right Lane #1 ball, yeah you're going to have more luck with the Lane #1 ball. Unfortunately, not every pro shop is worth the cost of its drill press. There is no doubt in my mind that a 175-type bowler is not accurate to see the difference between (for example) a Lane #1 low RG solid reactive at 800 vs. another company's low RG solid reactive at 800, if they are drilled to do the same thing. A 235 bowler will absolutely see that difference, and this is my point.

quote:
off the hundreds of balls i have sold, i have taken two back due to the end user being unhappy with performance. i have offered on several other times but the users have all said
"its not the arrow its the indian" and have kept the ball

Once again I need to reiterate that I have no doubts that Lane #1 makes a great product. However, if you have a 6 ball arsenal, or you have purchased 6 Lane #1 balls because you're caught up in the new release hype, that $150 difference could pay for a lot of bowling lessons to teach you how to throw cheaper equipment properly, cheaper equipment that's out there winning pro and amateur tournaments every week.

quote:
maybe once and for all some of you will get off the marketing stuff, people can and do spend their money they way they want, i have people return cause they feel they get a competitive advantage not because of some hype in an ad

I'm sorry, but based on what I've seen...it sounds more like the placebo effect, and buyer's remorse. They paid a premium for this product so they're going to tell themselves that they bowl better with it, just like the $100 dollar wine tastes better than the $10 wine.

quote:
normally i am even keep about this whole thing, but watching the BS come in especially by some users who do not throw the stuff is enough, so you dont like the company big deal get over it, dont read the ads, move on throw plastic i dont care just dont knock a company cause you dont agree or you dont see pros using it

That's where we differ. You say the company has to market things the way they do to sell. I say they have no business being in business if that's how they have to do things to survive. MoRich, for example, touts the new designs of their cores - they are new. They tout the fact that they have higher MB diff than other companies - that is true. Never do they say that their balls will give you a higher average or win you tournaments. They tell you what the concept is, what they feel it does/what they intend for it to accomplish (pertaining to reaction), and it's up to you and your driller to see if it works for you.

Holland/THB: There is nothing 'sad' about requesting clarity regarding a lot of stated Lane#1 absolutes you apparently know very little about.

Originally, you stated emphatically that Lane#1 markets to the 175 bowler. I simply ask you to clarify. You can't show a single example, but state it's a matter of 'common sense'. Who's common sense? I personally went from a consistent year-to-year 220 to a 234 when I switched to Lane#1 exclusively in league. I guess I didn't get the 'for 175 average only' memo. It was probably a good thing.

On the point of amateurs using Lane#1, your answer was that you hadn't seen many. As a 200 average THS bowler, how many scratch tournaments do you participate in where you can quantify how many bowlers are using what brand? I guess the money I've won using Lane#1 in competition is an illusion.

This isn't the miscellaneous forum where it's accepted that every nut job on the web is going to post whatever nonsense they want. If you ever take the time to try the different types of balls in the Lane#1 lineup and offer a real world opinion, you'd have a ready audience ready to listen.

I just don't get why you feel it's necessary to pontificate and state absolutes in an area that by your own admission you know little about.

inverted1 im getting sick of u attributing words yo me that i never said .....i never claimed miraculous results i meerely said i bowled well with the new ball,,, as i alreadt stated im 175 due to 2 years absense and im just coming back.. if you r such a supreme bowler u should be able to throw anything, anywhere, any style ... so y do u even come to the forums.you seem to spend alot of wasted time talking and worrying about something u dont like... go to a site of a company u like and be positive 4 once.

No disrespect meant to you larry..

My point was simply that you are the type of bowler that Lane#1 caters to with their marketing BS.

They claim to improve average and carry due to their magical, mystical core hoping that you and other bowlers buy into the BS.

That's my beef.

In case any body missed it, I never said that they were crap. They are quality balls and their CS is top notch. No question about it.
