Ok on the DV8 line has anyone mentioned anywhere what coverstocks are on these balls? I dont see Brunswick going thru the expense of developing a brand new never before seen blend and putting it on an unproven line, I have to believe these stocks are or have been in use else where, anyone shed some light on this?

Believe what you want or need to ....
but someone (unverified hearsay) told me that these coverstocks are all new. Bayer is still the supplier, AFAIK, but none of these were used before, I was lead to believ.

well might be but I was always told new stock creations are expensive and I just cannot see this happening, but if it did, great cause there needed to be some new stuff infused into that big b line

These are entirely new coverstocks developed to have unmatched performance using bright neon colors with UV additives. There's a reason you typically see darker and mellow colors in bowling balls, especially any PowrKoil based balls.

From the pictures, I thought the Magenta/Yellow would be less eye-assaulting than the Orange/Blue. I was wrong. I am now "blinded by the light"!!!

Threw this ball sunday afternoon on a fresh house shot, wow a little stronger then I had anticipated based upon price, great length small mid lane move and big backend reaction, was surprised at the length and ease at which it made the corner I went with a simple pin over bridge cg out 25 degrees, 3.5" pin, have not weighed the ball up for legality reasons yet, but think its probably a touch over on side weight, so will weigh it tonight and see if i got room for a x hole in it to help increase the length a tick more and lose that small mid lane read on it love the colors, yellow and magenta with black grips and a slug, ball stands out both on the rack and on the lanes def a late mover based on its Brunswick brothers

Simple explanation since I'm not an engineer, neon colors typically make them less porous. Our guys found a way to create outrageous color combos and keep peak performance.

Joey Cerar Interview with Billy Orlilowski on DV8 Discussion of pigments on DV8 covers though Billy O doesn't go into proprietary info. you can surmise a few facts.
BTW....thru another fellow BR member I gathered enough info. and armed with that I ordered a Misfit and Reckless. I'll have more input in another week or so with layouts and pics.

team mate picked up a reckless and it looks and performs as advertised. to be honest I didnt know what he bought at first but was impressed by the ball. my self,I'm eyeing the H/R and the early reviews sound good. I can't help to think that some of the C-sys tech has something to do with these cover's,shot in the dark on my part though.
