With the pearl Misfit coming out, what else would anyone like to see in the DV8 line? Im not sure right now, that the line could be any better. I really think from the Misfit Pearl all the way to the Brutal, this lineup of balls couldnt be much better. Whats everyone think? Is there anything missing that you'd like to see?
-
A strong pearl would be nice.
-
The Misfit Pearl in a different color. (Hopefully like the previous Misfits)

Like white? Lol jk. I don't think a company has the guts to do that (since the xs)...yet. Soon maybe.

The Terror is a strong pearl... 8)
-
Hammer's is pretty good.
Taboo Deep Purple
First Blood
Arson Hybrid
Arson Pearl
Arson Low Flare
-
Hammer needs a new strong solid and hybrid.

"New"?
The Deep Purple and Arson Hybrid just came out recently. I don't think that technology is obsolete already..
-
The Deep Purple is pearl...they need a new high end solid and hybrid. Arson hybrid is mid performance.

Wow... way to contribute to a post and not hijack it...

Lol. My thoughts exactly. On a separate note...want to talk about DV8?? lol.
I've only got the Brutal Nightmare, Misfit Pearl on the way...that being said, I'm very impressed. I was kind of leary on trying them out for whatever reason. Kind of a comfort zone thing I guess. The Brutal put me over the edge and I said I have to try it. I'm so glad I did. So far so good with it. It does EXACTLY as advertised, and maybe a bit more than I expected. I'm sold.
Assuming that they all do as advertised, I really can't think of anything that they're missing. Maybe something that's even arcing and handles long/heavy oil? But even that Pretty sweet line. I won't throw anything else for a while I think.

After watching the guys throw this equipment yesterday, there is no doubt this stuff fits me to a T. The Diva looked like a tank, getting thru the heads clean and having a nice angle to the pocket.
I dont know if that ball will fit my game,already having an up the boards ball. Really thinking of the misfit. just the video shows the power of the ball and the multiple angles one can play with it.
-
Maybe the hellraiser core and class 2 reactive. That combo would be sick on the backend
-
Maybe something even weaker than the Misfit line. Maybe a urethane pearl. I haven't been throwing them long, nor have I thrown most of the balls in the line, but that's what I can see missing. Oh, and a ball similar to the Taboo Spare.
As for the Misfit Pearl's color, it looks awesome up close. Pictures and video don't really do it justice. It isn't a big bright solid yellow. It's got some smoke-like swirls in it and it just seems to shine/glow. Yellow's one of my least favorite colors, but I love it.
Next ball up for me is likely the Too Reckless.

I've not tried DV8 out yet, I'm really thinking about a Misfit Pearl for this lighter oil house I bowl at. Something clean through the front with nice move in the back. Right now the 2 balls I throw there are my Motiv TZ3 and Storm Tropical Breeze Solid. Really can't throw anything much stronger there because all my other equipment hooks too early and much.
-
I am really impressed with the way the Misfit Pearl looks going down the lane. I was really surprised actually. Especially with the black switch grip, the ball is very easy to read going down the lane. I honestly cant ever see this ball leaving my bag.

Would look cool in a solid Kentucky blue lol.....
Jokes aside, I wonder what a pearly black and a matte black (though still a full pearl) swirl would look like...brunsnick is that a possible pour (for any ball)?
Anyone have this ball that could compare it to a MoJave? I believe that is a PK17 cover and big asym core.

Is that anything like Dodger Blue?

I suspect ... a HUGE difference.
Mojave requires much more dry and is nowhere near as snappy as the Misfit which only requires medium-light oil to make a "Left turn now, Clyde!"
-
+1 to the Hellraiser core with a weaker cover. LOVE the hellraiser line, have them all!

Very much like Dodger blue.
I will admit, I didn't quite do my homework on the Misfit Pearl but everything seems to be talking about how well it works on the dry I wasn't sure the look it gave on toast"ier" conditions where the front is really going away.
-
From my experience... any misfit will hook more than you will expect it too.
I say that after buying one to have a step down off the original Hell Raiser, only to have more back end from the Misfit! More skid, more flip, not as rolly as the HR.
DV8... tonight we bowl.

I think its only a matter of time before people see the amazing value and reactions in the misfit line. These are not just "House Shot" balls. I love mine on Sport patterns and anything where I need to control the lane. Bowling on international patterns and generally patterns where the volume is lower, these balls are the first ones outta my bag. Definitely thinking of drilling another Misfit with a smoother layout, putting the pin closer to my axis. Possibly the 2 inch range.. Anyone try this? I'd also love to see and black and gold misfit. Could be Gold solid with pearl black... mmmm Hybird Misfit.... yes Please...
