New Thug and possibly one more . . .
« on: June 06, 2015, 10:27:44 AM »
Saw a video teaser on DV8'S Facebook page of a new Thug. Also, there's a Hooligan Taunt listedon the Approved Ball list. The Thugs were a huge success in my area, can't wait to see these new balls.

Here's a pin up drilling from bowlersmart. This ball is going to be a huge hit. This is going to attack the upper mid price point with a juiced up reaction!

Pretty much just a shot at EBI trying to compete against the Widows

Not at all a shot at them. I miss spoke . . . It's just a step below that top tier price point is what I was trying to say. A lot of bang for the buck, and a reaction shape that is favorable for many styles. Brunswick went this route with the Fortera line as well. Personally, I think it's a smart idea. In my area and from what I'm seeing on social media . . . DV8 has really turned some heads with the new releases. There's a lot of talk about the Vandal.

It is kinda a shot. Asymmetric cored ball priced below the premium price point.

Vandal vs Black Widows vs Track Legion vs 900G Black Ops

I don't really like the comparison to the Fortera line because the Forteras were priced above the Masterminds. I definitely agree that it is a great move to release a ball like the Vandal

The Vandal is sick, I threw it last night and couldn't believe how much pop it had down the lane.  The sleeper is the Taunt which is really smooth and will be a favourite amongst higher rev players

So what is the OOB finish on the vandal? Some sites say 500/royal compound and some say 500/4000. Which one is it?

The DV8 website says Royal Compound, which is very close to 4k
