I like the color scheme. Interested to see how it rolls though. DV8 has a kinda cult following where I'm at. Hopefully no one complains about the ball name, since some people seem to have issues with the Hammer Bad Ass.

No one really has a problem with the hammer bad ass.  It is more or less what is badass about it?  Its a copycat core with a first blood color scheme...not badass..

I think it is Hammer trying to gear towards what DV8 has going. Image. Hammer already has the tough image going and I do not see this really doing anything for them in terms of gaining or losing fans one way or the other.

There posters have been doing that for a while using cartoon charaters that look similar to ads used by Grand Theft Auto.

Still what else would they release in their Ass line of bowling balls????

Listen to Booty Man by Tim Wilson. He lists every type of booty.

How about we not highjack a DV8 thread about their new release (which looks nice by the way) about a Hammer Ball. There is plenty of trash talk over in those threads.

I want to see them throw this ball against the Rude Dude just so I can see how it rolls. Hopefully a video comes out comparing it to the other balls in the same category soon.

I'm a little more interested in seeing the Rude Dude vs Hooligan

On how they handle the shots or on how they compliment each other?

How they compliment they each other. The hooligan should obviously have more length and a sharper backend based on the pearl cover but I'd like to see how much difference there is

It's my understanding the Hooligan should fit between the original Dude and the Outcast line.

DV8 has the Thug in between the Feud and Schizzo, in theory stronger than the Rude Dude.

I'm excited to see how the Hooligan fits in as well. The Rude Dude is a monster and a lot of ball for the price.

Went to the DV8 product demo yesterday. The Thug is great! New core shape and cover really helps the ball get length and great backend reaction with continuation. They knocked it out of the park with this one!!!

Punched this and a Guru up. I absolutely love this ball! They did an excellent job with it and it's a head turner. When I was bowling everyone was asking me about it. Great length and the backend move is very impressive. If you haven't tried DV8 you may want to check this one out,
