Title: New DV8 rock coming soon.........
Post by: bowlingman817 on December 23, 2014, 01:44:56 PM
Just received my Jan. issue of bowlers journal in the mail and on the back cover seen the new DV8 Thug Unruly. It looks like a solid with purple/blue/yellow colors. No numbers on it yet but sure it will be same as original Thug. Probably a mid Feb. release.

will probably be the same as the original? So the solid cover wouldn't change anything?

Only a few more days until the official announcement . . . Anyone here the rumors about a new Diva? I saw a picture of a Diva Divine with the Unruly Thug . . . I'm excited, I love the Diva line and the Thug is awesome.

This is making me delay my new ball purchase. I had thought my decision was made, but now.........

Been rocking it lately with the original Dude, but never had the Diva/Diva Pearl. If the Diva Devine has the "special sauce" additive to make the ball longer in reaction, it could very well be my next one.

BTW:

Both now appear on the USBC Approved list.

I have 2 Diva Peals that travel with me everywhere, I love them. The Diva solid is perfect when I need more ball than my Rude Dude and my Fued or Endless Nightmare are too much. I hope this is coming. I will have a bag or 2 of the Divas.

There are also three Brunswick balls on yesterday's updates approval list:
The Shooter

Master Mind Wise
Im hoping at least one is International cause i was really lloking forward to a new addition to the Vintage line

I saw the Pride Edge and Mastermind Wise, I didn't see the shooter. Radical doesn't have anything on the list yet . . .

I love all three of my DV8 balls and am always looking to try out their new stuff. Currently I have a Rude Dude, Ruckus, and Misfit in my bag and they handle all of the conditions in my local centers. I haven't tried the Diva line yet, but from the sounds of it I'm missing out!
Title: Re: New DV8 rock coming soon.........
Post by: tommymo on December 31, 2014, 11:42:56 AM
Certainly missing a great ball. The Solid and Pearl are awesome. The Thug and Hooligan are great additions to the line too. DV8's line up is stacked!

Thanks for the heads up tommymo! I agree that DV8's lineup is stacked and I think they hit harder than any of the other equipment that I've personally used. I get quite a few comments on my ball reaction and the color schemes as well. DV8 certainly stands out from the crowd!

The Edge series is an overseas line. The Edge, Cool Edge, and looks like the Pride.

figured it had something to do with the diva since shannon o keefe was talking about the new balls coming out in her diva jersey lol

Why is the wording backwards on these?  Am I stupid or are we goofing these up from a marketing standpoint. 

I understand 'mastermind genius' but not 'thug unruly' or 'diva divine'

How about divine diva or unruly thug?  If the words are placed correctly and named in ENGLISH PROPERLY no wonder we have a sales problem.  How can I expect quality in other aspects?  Not trying to stir the pot, but every time I see that pic I'm like wtf is "diva divine"?
Title: Re: New DV8 rock coming soon.........
Post by: kidlost2000 on January 02, 2015, 12:16:11 PM
Matter of view.

 Diva, Diva Pearl, Diva Divine, Ruckus, Ruckus Fued, Ruckus Schizo, Thug, Thug Unruly, Ringer, Ringer Platinum, Ringer Solid, Matermind, Mastermind Genius, Mastermind Intellect.

They all follow the same trend. Series name, then addition to series name. Schizo is in the Ruckus series ect.

Title: Re: New DV8 rock coming soon.........
Post by: Dewey24 on January 02, 2015, 12:29:39 PM
Will they also follow trends and release the name or names of the upcoming Brunswick releases next week.

Must be the Mexican influence on the name. The ARE poured in Mexico, right?

Yes and sold global.

I understand now seeing all of their names in order.  These two just seem backwards, cmon, Admit it.  I will say that new thug will out sell the pearl. Looks great...didn't really understand the pearl offering.  Just like that new crux pearl... Ugggly!
Title: Re: New DV8 rock coming soon.........
Post by: kidlost2000 on January 02, 2015, 09:42:08 PM
Which two seem backwards and which do you think are ugly?

The Crus pearl doesnt look as good as id expect said the same for the Optimus. It happens. These days I just wait for the next color lol

Just seen the numbers on the diva devine and oh my, class 7g hybrid finished at 4000. 2.51 rg and .52 diff, thats a whole hell of a lot of ball for the price. Cant wait for this to be my step up from the rude dude.

The new diva and new thug just look backwards. 

I was then comparing the first thug and the second crux.  Both using that copper coloration.  Looks ugly.

The name looks backwards? I can see that but I get what they are doing. The Thug I actually like. Its a darker orange, silver, and black. The brighter oranges I dont like. The rude dude, brutal nightmare and the marauder mutiny to name a few.

I hated the look of the Schizo till one actually came in and I ended up driling it lol. The crux pearl may be the same way
Title: Re: New DV8 rock coming soon.........

Just saw a different picture of the Crux Pearl and think it will look good. Reminds me of the Nexxxus a bit.

Thug Unruly has same core numbers as original but the cover is a solid and sanded to 2000 grit.
Title: Re: New DV8 rock coming soon.........
Post by: billdozer on January 03, 2015, 12:12:21 AM
I agree kidlost!  But the new thug will look great! Like a sanded jigsaw trap!  Tons of shelf appeal!  All the bowlers around here liked the revenge, original nightmare, fued, and now this!!! 

The schizo looks good too!  The nexxxus reminds me of the ebo tiger which I loved.
Title: Re: New DV8 rock coming soon.........
Post by: kidlost2000 on January 03, 2015, 12:24:22 AM
I agree. Lots of new stuff still to come.

The video for the Thug Unruly looks legit. I'm not really a fan of the color scheme, but the ball rolls like a beast.
