Not gonna lie... I really don't like the name for this one. But I think that's mainly because everyone I've ever met who said "Thug Life" was either joking or just an idiot.

In my opinion if you are going to have a line named Thug,  Thug Life is a must.

This ball looks good color combo is killer, name is spot on, but the reaction of balls in thug line seem little confusing, seems to me long and strong, need some one to clarify how each is different from the other, what type oil condition each is need for..ty

As of now from weakest to strongest:

Thug (medium+)
Thug Unruly (medium-heavy)
Thug Corrupt (medium-heavy)

I'm not sure if the Thug Life would fit above or below the Unruly

Well, I'm sure you've seen the 10 pin get taken out by some random force of nature...  Check out the video from this page and you'll learn like I did who the culprit is.  Lol!

I would really like to know  more about this ball.  I'm planning on picking up a new ball in a few weeks.  My list was Vandal, Storm Lock, Hyper Cell Skid, or Crux.  However, I'm really intrigued by this ball.  It seems like it's a Vandal on steroids.

Good comparison. A Vandal on the juice.

Composite coverstocks are fantastic and to have a pearl that hooks is always a good weapon to have when you need to open up the lane.

Just got mine last night!!!!!!!!!!  Super excited!!  My guy drilled it pin down with a weight hole in line with the thumb.  With that said, having just gotten it last night, I haven't had a chance to throw it yet.   :o  I'll update after first chance.

The Vandal IS the juice!

Ok. So I threw this ball the second half of league tonight and all I can say is the hype is real!!!!!  I'm not a DV8 staffer so I have no need to hype this thing. The ball goes smooth through the heads then all of a sudden you see a left turn signal peak out of the ball and BAM!!!  Move b.... Get out the way!!!  I played with my feet on 15 and threw to 12 and wait for it.... wait for it.... Boom!!!  A pin explosion.  Lol. Ok. Enough hype. For real though. This ball is all that and a whole lot more. All strikes except for one frame with a standing ten pin.  That's it. Strikesville has a new mayor and its name is "Thug Life'.

The Thug Life has a impressive coverstock  that gives the ball a skid snap motion resulting in a smooth roll thru the heads and a impressive hook in the back end that shreds the rack. If you miss in the oil it will hold and if you miss in the dry it will not over hook. You cam move left and open up the lanes.
