I wonder about dv8s future as well since to me it doesn't seem like comparable to the other brands. But if you want to invest in an arsenal involving your brutal:

Endless/feud/thug unruly
Brutal
Diva
Diva pearl/misfit/hooligan

 DV8 has really stepped up their game.  The Thug is a hit and is a top seller in my shop. I can't wait to see how much stronger the Unruly is. Same with the Diva Divine. I think you can compare the line to any on the market. I would say

(Stronger)Thug Unruly
Brutal
Diva Pearl

I am a lefty and I have used my Thug and Diva Pearls with success for most if the season the Hooligan is a great ball too, but being a lefty like you, I tend to use the stronger core in the Diva Pearl more.

I'm not sure why it would be going anywhere but even if it did there's plenty available now. The ball doesn't care about such trival things lol

In my area, dv8 is a huge hit. A lot more people have dv8 equipment than Brunswick

I didn't get much out of my Ruckus. I have two on order to try or sell. The Schizo was my favorite by far of that series.

I've always been curious about DV8, but I've yet to see any specs on their 16-pound equipment and so I simply shy away from them.

Is there a DV8 staffer here on Ball Reviews who can explain why DV8 only releases specs on 15-pound equipment? (Yes, I know that more people buy 14- and 15-pound stuff. But most other ball companies at least show a table of its RG/differential numbers for various weights.)

I have the original dude and all I can say is...DUDE!!!!

It has become my favorite thus far for the THS this season. I know the ball is over a year since debut, but to me it has proven itself.

It is definitely a decent step down from my Brutal at 2000, or my Ruckus at factory finish. Recently, my Ruckus has seen more action than the Brutal.

I would vote for one of these on your bag.

I do not have a step down in the DV8 line below the Dude, so I could not give any suggestions. My dry ball has been a Radical Grease Monkey - another good ball if you want to go Radical.

BOWLINGNUT,

DV8 took off so much better, and faster than anyone imagined, trust me this Company will be around for a lnog time to come. When the Sale happens, all 3 Brands will still be standing and continue to get stronger.
