- Description: The blue/neon yellow solid Marauder Madness adds more power to the DV8 product line at a modest price. The new Marauder Madness is clean through the front and digs in the mid-lane to create a strong and continuous motion on a variety of lane conditions. This stronger ball motion is a result of its medium RG performance core matched with the new Class 5G reactive coverstock. This special coverstock formulation maintains proper grip throughout the lane on medium oil lane conditions.

- Ball Motion Finished with a 4000 grit Siaar Micro Pad Finish, the Marauder Madness is clean through the front, digs in the mid-lane to create a very strong and continuous motion that drives through the pins. The Class 5G coverstock maintains proper grip throughout the lane on medium-oily to light oil lane conditions

- Reaction Setup The DV8 Marauder Madness can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for bowling balls with symmetric cores.

- Ball Maintenance To reduce oil absorption and remove dirt from the surface of the ball, clean your ball with a cleaner designed for reactive bowling balls.

COMMENTS

Tried the MM on 2 distinct house patterns.  A high volume 40' THS with some play on it and a fresh 41' THS with a lighter volume and some of the strongest backends I've seen.

The MM performed admirably on both.  On the heavier patters with some play, it cleared the heads fine, but really picked up in the mids and stared a long smooth arc through the pin deck.  This heavier pattern was quite juicy and I was playing fairly close to the dry (fading 10 to 3-4), but it still picked up and continued through the pins with a great hit.

On the lighter pattern with the flying backends, the MM was strong enough to tone down the reaction in the dry, but still had more than enough pop to hit.

Overall, this is a great symmetrical benchmark.  I could see a player carrying a couple of these with varying layouts/surfaces and have the tools for a large percentage of the conditions they see.

Sadly, it looks like this is on the chopping block, but if you can pick one up, I would highly recommend it.
