DV8 Class Rating
« on: October 30, 2014, 05:33:04 PM »
For those interested I made this up to show DV8s, Class Rating, Cover type, and Perfect scale rating.

                                              DV8
Reckless   Class 3 – Pearl    Perfect scale 196.3
Too Reckless   Class 3L - Reactive   Perfect scale 192.1
Misfit (original)   Class 1 - Reactive   Perfect scale 182.1
Misfit   Pearl Neon   Class 1L - Pearl   Perfect scale 179.4
Misfit   Red/Orange   Class 1C - Reactive   Perfect scale 175.7
Marauder Madness   Class 5G - Reactive    Perfect scale 202.1
Marauder    Class 4 – Hybrid     Perfect scale 195.7
Marauder Mutiny   Class 2L – Pearl     Perfect scale 194.9
Hell Raiser   Class 5 - Hybrid     Perfect scale 224.1
Hell Raiser Revenge   Class 7 - Reactive     Perfect scale 227.1
Hell Raiser Terror     Class 7 - Pearl      Perfect scale 225.9
Brutal Nightmare     Class 8 - Hybrid      Perfect scale 226.2
Nightmare     Class 8 - Reactive       Perfect scale 229.3
Endless Nightmare     Class 9 - Hybrid       Perfect scale 231.9
Ruckus    Class 8 - Hybrid      Perfect scale 229.2
Ruckus Feud   Class 12 - Reactive        Perfect scale 232.5
Ruckus   Schizo   Class 12 F - Pearl        Perfect scale 231.1
Diva   Class 6C - Reactive        Perfect scale 199.8
Diva   Class 6C - Pearl        Perfect scale 198.4
Dude   Class 4F – Reactive        Perfect scale 196.7
Rude Dude   Class 7G – Reactive        Perfect scale 201.5
Hooligan   Class 3F – Pearl       Perfect scale TBA
Thug   Class 13F – Hybrid        Perfect scale TBA

Reactive means 'Solid' and the 'Perfect scale' is BowlingBall.coms hook rating

Btw, I know some new Outcasts are going to be released but they should be similar to the Misfit Red/Orange, IMHO
Now throwing pretty much all flavors...

Thanks for doing this.

Does the coverstock class number indicate relative strength?  Higher number = Stronger cover?  How about the letters after the number?
MOTIV Jackal LE .................40 x 4.5 x 40 p2.5
MOTIV Revolt Vengeance......45 x 4.0 x 50 p3
MOTIV Forza GT ..................50 x 4.0 x 70 p2.5
MOTIV Sigma Sting..............50 x 4.0 x 45 p3

The perfect scale tales you the overall strength of the ball. Not a good judge to compare covers.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Yes, with their lowest number being at 1 and their highest (so far) being at 13.

I'm not sure of the 'Letter' rating I could take an educated guess but I wont want to mislead anyone.
