Ball MotionFinished with a High Gloss Polish, the Misfit skids very easily through the front part of the lane to the breakpoint before changing directions for a strong continuous backend that cuts through the pins on medium dry to medium oily lane conditions.
Reaction SetupThe DV8 Misfit can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for bowling balls with asymmetric cores.
Ball MaintenanceTo reduce oil absorption and remove dirt from the surface of the ball, clean your ball with a cleaner designed for reactive bowling balls.

COMMENTS
The Misfit is so much more than an entry level ball. While it is listed as the entry level ball for the DV8 brand, this ball performs better than many mid-range balls I have thrown from other companies. The ball packs an abundance of performance. The Misfit line is so versatile, and allows for many different drill patterns and surfaces. I drilled this Misfit up to read the midlane well, and make a controlled move to the pocket. I got the exact midlane read that I wanted, but the reaction was slightly different. The motion this ball makes is something to be seen. I would describe it as controlled, but I would also describe it as angular. I have never thrown a ball before that makes such an angular move, yet I still feel like I have complete control of the reaction. Also for being an “entry level” ball the strength of this ball is a surprise.
Likes: The strength and control of the ball, while still being angular.
Dislikes: None!
