wondering how company was doing? want to invest in more equipment...have brutal nightmare...haven't bowled in 6 months...pulled it out other day wow I forgot how that ball sounds when it hits the pocket...of course being a stroker,down and in player,had to take surface to 4000 grit,way to strong in oob finish...so got brutal was wondering what pieces I could get to complete a 3 ball line up...deffintly say something stronger but somtheing on smoother side I could control,then need a ball for transition after brutal becomes to much, rarely see drier things, not that many left handed people in league...thanks for help

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 have a dude and wanting to invest in a rude dude and thug myself.. I am also wondering if DV8 is here to stay.. Anyone know ?
-
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
-
kid your right ball don't care ok think going to get the thug unruly, new diva divine wait see on that one....income tax around the corner...
-
Im getting an Unruly as well.
-
Bowlersdeals has Unruly for $135 on pre-order right now! And great deals on all other DV8's.
-
In my area, dv8 is a huge hit. A lot more people have dv8 equipment than Brunswick
-
hey buddies got rukcus half price...hows that compare to thug and thug unruly...f8 coverstock closer to brutal nightmare?
-
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.)
-
Look here for 16# and other weight specs. http://dv8bowling.com/balls/compare/

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.
