This one was an easy review.  What happens when you take an incredibly strong cover and put in a higher RG / Medium Differential core?  You create a benchmark ball for wood and high friction lanes that doesn't kill your pocket book.  Join The Bearded Beast as he takes this one to the lanes to see how it stacks up UNCUT.

COMMENTS:

The DV8 Decree Solid has been a really nice surprise for me! It takes the Command Symmetric core from the Turmoil series, and combines it with the Composite Fang solid cover from the Pitbull series. What you end up getting is a ton of ball for the price point!

My only complaints about the Turmoils was at times I wished the covers weren't quite as clean as they were. Enter the Composite Fang cover, and instantly you get an upgrade in strength! I will say too that it took the Decree about 10 games worth of laneshine before this ball really came to life. Once it did, it has been hard to get that ball out of my hands in centers with med conditions. It's strong enough to start with, and chase the oil line left as it breaks down.

My overall thoughts on the Decree Solid is it is just a great benchmark piece. I love the fact that as a brand we are starting to progress our stronger covers down through the lower levels of our lines, I feel this helps tremendously with customers knowing what they are getting before they spend money.

 If you loved any of the Pitbull series, and the strength of those covers, you'll love the Decree as well! You really can't go wrong with the Decree Solid on medium to medium light volumes!   



Go get yours at your nearest BowlersMart location, or nearest pro shop!

COMMENTS

   I went with a skid flip layout on this solid and when I first through the ball it was a bit too long for me.  I took a light 1000 TruCut pad to this ball and I brought it the next week.  This is what I was expecting out of the box reaction, skid and a big backend and that is what I got out of this solid coverstock.  Standing left and throwing right, tugged shots still hook in the oil and it does not quit when getting out to the dryer boards.  Great ball for a midline price!
