I don't have a line, it's more of a 10-12 board area :)

For sure... I was amazed how much this hooked. So I kept moving left and it kept cutting right through the pins. Very little editing involved here.

Nick,
 
Could you compare the DV8 Hell Raiser to the Brunswick C-System Ulti-Max?

Were you surprised with the length of the Hell Raiser too?

I have been told this is a Hybrid... Please correct me if I am wrong.

Correct, this is a hybrid.

 

Comparing to a Nano, it'll be cleaner through the front and much more angular.

 

This ball will have a similar shape to an Ultimax, with more hook potential and backend.

OOooooooo! That's kinda sick! That last ball looked like it hit the two board and turned left!!!!

Holy crap Nick.  That's a sick looking ball on all fronts.  Nice vid!

So this would be similar to the Critical Theory?

Not to be biased, but I am going to be here for a second...

 

The Hell Raiser is in a class by itself. It doesn't really react like anything out there... I have seen the competition, and it is lacking.

How much oil does it need? Will it work on medium conditions?

Picking up my 4 DV8's this weekend i cant wait. Nick, if i wanted to have a good all around arsenal with Helraiser, Reckless, and both Misfits, how would you suggest drilling them? My PAP is 5 x 1/2up., Med speed.

Hard to say without really seeing you bowl, but I can give suggestions based on what I've seen so far!

 

Hell Raiser - Anywhere from 4"-5", 45-60 MB angle and 30 VAL angles have really let this ball open up the lane. Depending on your rev rate, you could use an xhole or not.

 

Reckless - All around performer, so far, I like the motion of a 45x5x45 with a P3 or P2. Easy through the fronts with a strong midlane but not jerky backend.

 

Misfits - The Yel/Mag is a little cleaner and slightly less hook, so that could be your dry lane ball. I'd go 5-5.5 with no hole. The Org/Blu looks good with a 4.5-5" layout, but I have not seen a pin down layout yet. Xhole not really needed, but this ball with surface and a stronger layout can actually fit below the Hell Raiser with the same type of ball motion.

It can work on medium, but just know this ball responds very fast to friction, so don't be afraid to chase the oil in. You can see from my video, that there is no such thing as a light mixer with this ball. It came back flush from every angle, no matter if I missd in or missed way out.
