DV8 Medusa
Drilled 55x5.5x45

The Medusa’s medium asymmetric core and Inciter Max Flip Pearl Cover makes for a nice complement to the DV8 line. Using the same cover stock that was used on the Hell Raiser Return. The Medusa is plenty clean through the heads and mid lane with reliable backend continuation. For me, the Medusa is a more forgiving, user friendly Hell Raiser Return. The Hell Raiser Return has a very quick response to friction which made it tough to use on most of my wet/dry house conditions. I will admit that the layout I chose, didn’t help the cause any. Which has led me to plugging and redrill if the HRR for another look. The Medusa’s core shape allows this ball to be a little rounder off the friction which suits my eye, and game, better. The Medusa is my go to ball when the lanes start to transition and the  Damn Good Verge is seeing the mid lane too early.

COMMENTS

The DV8 Medusa is a strong mid-performance ball for medium to light oil conditions.  Ball is very clean through the fronts, picks up a late midlane roll and has a controllable flip motion in the backend.  If you need a great ball for league conditions and short sport patterns, the Medusa is the ball that will scare the lane condotions
