Another Innovation from DV8 Not Just for No-Thumbs and Two-Handers!!!

I am very proud to introduce to you the newest addition to the DV8 line, the DV8 Dark Side.  The new DV8 Dark Side introduces the new Duality Core.  Albeit this core is designed to give no-thumb bowlers more drilling options and a greater performance advantage, the Dark Side is equipped with the Inciter Hybrid coverstock and finished with a factory compound.  With a 45x4x30 layout the Dark Side allows for cleaner ball length through the front part of the lanes while delivering a strong continuous motion on the backend. The Duality core offers the lowest differential in the new No-Thumb category, creating less flare and a unique ball motion for this evolving and game changing category.  For 2-handed, 2-finger and traditional bowlers, the Dark Side offers the perfect balance of power, control, and performance.  Check out our No-Thumb resource page on DV8bowling.com for more in-depth information on how the Dark Side will work for you.  DV8 keeps on creating innovation in bowling equipment and has done it again with the new DV8 Dark Side.  If you are not throwing DV8, you’re just not bowling!!!
