Brunswick VS DV8
« on: December 11, 2013, 01:48:30 PM »
Hello Bowlers!

I have a quick question. I love Brunswick. I had so much success with the Brunswick Siege. Also I have the Diva as well. I'm more speed dominant and low-medium rev rate. I want to get a new arsenal I'm contemplating about sticking with Brunswick or Dv8. As far as in terms of pin carry Do you think Brunswick balls carry better than Dv8 or Dv8 equipment carry better than Brunswick?. Or they both carry about the same If i was going to pick Brunswick I'll probably go for a Mastermind Aura Mystic and melee or Brawler. Dv8 side- Endless Nightmare Ruckus Dude

It is really just a matter of matching up the right ball motion with the lanes on which you bowl.  The Siege had a really strong cover and rolled pretty early.  The DV8 stuff will generally will run a little longer and turn over a bit more on the backend.
There is no reason why it wouldn't make sense to have a mix of B and DV8 in your bag.

I agree with Brandon about having a mix of Brunswick and DV8. Also, both lines carry just fine as long as the operator is throwing them well. If you like the Diva, the Dude is a good complimentary ball that is a little weaker because of the cover. The Melee has a strong, smooth, predictable reaction that can be used on a variety of lane conditions. The Mastermind is the strongest ball in either line and needs heavier oil to work properly.
If you are looking for an arsenal, I would go with Mastermind or Endless Nightmare as the stronger ball. Then as a step down, the Mystic Aura or Ruckus. Finally as the lanes start hooking too much, a Dude or Melee to control the motion of the ball on the lane.

I carry both along with Radical. I noticed a difference in Radical and DV8 that I did not have from Brunswick. Not in carry, just in the sound hitting the pins. Not in all of the balls just a few.  I still use Brunswick primarily with the occasional of the other two mixed in. It is a matter of getting the right coverstock matchup on the lanes for you. For me it is definitely Brunswick.
