Title: Dare Devil Trick
Post by: bambam300300@aol.com on March 28, 2017, 11:14:29 AM
I drilled the Dare Devil Trick for length in PBA Competition. I rolled this ball on the Chameleon Pattern and the reaction I got was simply amazing. I played 35 to 12 and 20 to 5. The 35 to 12 line the ball rolled smoothly down lane until the backend where I wanted her to hook and I must say the ball was not overly aggressive but simply just right. She was a smooth controlled hook and kept the pins low for great pin reaction. On fresher oil the ball did have hard time carrying the 10 pin due to the angle but when I played 20 to 5 the ball rolled smoothly off the corner and smashed the pocket carrying the 10 pin with ease. The inside line was better when the lanes dried out a little more versus when they are fresh. I average 210 with this ball in Tournament Play.

Roto Grip Dare Devil Trick Ball Review by PJ Haggerty

I’m a HUGE fan of the Dare Devil.  I’ve been able to use it on all types of patterns and it typically goes everywhere with me.  I found it to be similar to the Marvel Pearl.   When we received word the Dare Devil Trick was the next release, I was certainly excited.   Basically a solid, symmetrical ball that is a step down from the Haywire and No Rules options.

I’ve drilled one so far specifically with USBC Nationals in mind.  I put a pretty strong drilling on it (4 x 4 with a hole on my axis) and think it could be a great play the first game or two of team event.  With more surface, it sounds like it could even be an option for Singles and Doubles.   My goal with this layout was to create something predictable, smooth, and a slower response time off the end of the pattern. 

After throwing it for 20-25 games, it’s exactly what I had hoped.  A ball that doesn’t change direction too hard, but isn’t too strong that it’s only useable for half a game.  It’s definitely not as strong as the Sure Lock, No Rules, or Haywire, so it definitely serves a great purpose.

The Dare Devil Trick is a perfect addition to the line!
