Title: Next DV8 ball coming later this year?
Post by: dizzyfugu on October 13, 2011, 07:01:37 PM
Heard rumors that a new/next ball was in the pipeline, expected to hit the market later this year. Does anyone know what to expect? I'd see some space for a solid/matte oiler like the Ultimate Inferno in the DV8 line-up, but that's just a guess.

I do not know what to expect, maybe a Misfit Pearl for dry lanes. I do not know if they really need a oiler right now, everyone should be able to get there Hellraiser to handle any amount of oil, just with a cover change.

Would not be a surprise to see an introduction into the mid-point price range, below the Reckless and above the Misfits. Either way, these balls do look good, and are selling quite well from what I have seen.
Looks like the Reckless with a different color scheme and added polish. Otherwise same ball as Reckless.

Yes there is a new DV8 coming out actually this month. There going to be releasing a new one in the Reckless line. I recently went to a trade show for Brunswick and Brian Granham was there and briefly talked about the future of the balls. They will also be introducing a ball in Feb in the higher level line like the Hell Raiser

the class 3 "L" reactive on the "too reckless" must have some pearl added to the cover.. the "original reckless" just has a class 3 reactive cover.. the "too reckless" will probably be a little cleaner up front and a little more angular down lane/off the spot by the specs I have seen and read about..

The original Reckless is pearl so not sure about the "L" difference between the Class 3 pearl on the Reckless. Added step is High Gloss polish over the Rough Buff and 500 SIAair just as in the Misfit that is a Class 1 solid cover.

The video is up for the Too Reckless on the DV8 website.
The opinions expressed are solely those of the writer and not of Brunswick Corporation.

Good video as it explains the difference in the covers and why the Reckless and Too Reckless are different.
