Purchased a Terror and G/W Misfit to fit into my arsenal. I have found these two balls to be some of the worst rolling pieces I have seen. Both are very over under and this is after numerous surface changes. The couple of times I could actually get a decent reaction out the the misfit, I could only use it for a game. I then had to put it away, as any adjustment I made resulted in the typical over under reaction. Is it just me or have others come across this also? I know there is another thread about an issue the poster had with his terror. I have seen the same thing. I am not having these issues with other simularly drilled balls from other manufacturers. Any feedback is appreciated.
What I have learned with the DV8 balls, is that surface changes need to be drastic. Have a friend who had a Marauder (surface was 500, rough buff, factory finish). Ball was way too squirty on the backend. I had him take the ball and put 1000, rough buff, no factory finish and the ball was easily 5 feet sooner and almost a full arrow worth of more overall hook and no squirt on the backend; very continuous. From what I have seen thus far, most of the balls seem to work best when you can take them to 1000 or 2000 and use rough buff. STAY AWAY from the high gloss polishes if you can because that is what seems to make these balls over/under.
FWIW......I have a Violent Eruption that I just drilled a few weeks ago. Even with my rev rate (500+), the ball at its box finish was pretty squirty in oil. I knocked off the polish completely (used 1000 to get it off) and then took the ball to 2000 and used rough buff instead of a high gloss polish and now the ball is a beast on the backend. Easily my favorite ball right now.
Remember that the DV8 balls were specifically designed for backend because customers wanted something from "Brunswick" that was not rolly; instead something with a sharper backend. So....these balls can be prone to over/under with the wrong surface and/or layout.
