COMMENTS:
The DV8 Poison is the newest addition to the DV8 lineup, adding a thickshelled ball to make things interesting. I needed a symmetric benchmark as I missed the Turmoils, so I laid my Poison out to fit right in the middle of my bag. With the layout and surface prep at 2000, it falls under my Pitbulls but above my Hitman Enforcer in terms of overall strength.
What Im finding that I like the most about this ball is that its strong enough to use on the fresh, and clean enough to use all 3 games just chasing the oil line in as they breakdown.
Add to that the defined hit you get with the thicker shell, this ball really sends pins everywhere especially on the light hits. Overall this is a great looking piece, thats really a blast to throw when Im able to use it. Do yourself a favor and pick up a Poison for your game.
