Which is stronger? Compare and contrast reaction shapes please
-
diva pearl is stronger off the spot.
-
The Dude is stronger in the midlane with a smooth transition to friction. And, the Diva Pearl will go longer and finish harder when reaching the friction.
-
Thanks guys

Was gonna chime in, but Brandon hit it right on the head....

I bought the dude. Very happy. Basically I have a great bag for all conditions. My nightmare @1000abralon is for fresh heavy. Very strong and continuous yet is clean through the front. Hellraiser terror oob makes a very controllable continuous break . Favorite ball. Still needs a little oil under it to not hook too much. Dude was a little angular oob. So I took it to 4000abralon and its perfect. House shot killer. I should receive my red orange misfit today. Going to be my light oil ball. Or broken down lane ball. Going to do a Weaker drilling

Tattooer, Glad to hear that the Dude is working good for you. It is always a good thing to change surfaces to get a better reaction. You have a good 4 ball arsenal right now. Keep up the good bowling.

Love the predictability of the Dude. . .especially at my home house which has torched backends.
-
Gr..
Do u have oob surface ? How is your drilling. I have pin in ring and cg a touch negative .
-
Pin in the middle finger. 4 3/4" pin to pap. Cant remember the angles off the top of my head though. Have it at OOB surface. . well it was. ...thats the only thing I wish this ball had ...was less need for maintenance. I have about 12 games on it and my track is getting pretty darn dull. Time to invest in some royal shine.
-
Pretty certain it was like 55x 4 3/4 x 60 or 55x 4 5/8 x 65. . something around there. The continuation and mid lane read is what made me fall in love with this ball. Hits like a tank. Harder than anything else in my dv8 arsenal as far as on a ths.
-
would the diva be considered more consistent? i love the dude but it seems for 5 or 6 frames this ball will be lights out good and then will start to jump all around on me
-
How do you have it layed out? What are your release specsm do you have it at oob surface?

pin up...probably say i have a medium rev rate...ball is at 2000 grit pad...
-
Do you have a picture?do you know your pap and tilt ?
-
I understand what you mean however I don't know if I would call it consistency when I first started using the Dude it was a little bit to angular and after six games like you say it may just be a little too snappy for the condition so what I did was took off the Polish and sanded the cover to 4000 grit and now it is one of the most predictable balls and Rose controllable balls I have ever thrown if it is getting unpredictable for you try a surface change
-
Hey stated he has it at 2000. But personally I've never liked pin up layouts on my dv8 gear. All their coverstocks get through the heads easy enough. I'm a pin in the middle finger guy (or ring if you have a 4 1/2+ pap.
-
Oh didn't see that . I have two dv8 balls pin in ring and I agree with you there. My other two are pin up and they work great for me. I am rev dominant so I tend to require conservation of energy
