Could the DV8 Line Be Any Better?
« on: January 27, 2013, 09:02:08 AM »
With the pearl Misfit coming out, what else would anyone like to see in the DV8 line?  Im not sure right now, that the line could be any better.  I really think from the Misfit Pearl all the way to the Brutal, this lineup of balls couldnt be much better.  Whats everyone think?  Is there anything missing that you'd like to see?

A strong pearl would be nice.

Like white? Lol jk. I don't think a company has the guts to do that (since the xs)...yet. Soon maybe.

"New"?
The Deep Purple and Arson Hybrid just came out recently. I don't think that technology is obsolete already..

The Deep Purple is pearl...they need a new high end solid and hybrid.  Arson hybrid is mid performance.

Lol. My thoughts exactly. On a separate note...want to talk about DV8?? lol.

I've only got the Brutal Nightmare, Misfit Pearl on the way...that being said, I'm very impressed. I was kind of leary on trying them out for whatever reason. Kind of a comfort zone thing I guess. The Brutal put me over the edge and I said I have to try it. I'm so glad I did. So far so good with it. It does EXACTLY as advertised, and maybe a bit more than I expected. I'm sold.

Assuming that they all do as advertised, I really can't think of anything that they're missing. Maybe something that's even arcing and handles long/heavy oil? But even that Pretty sweet line. I won't throw anything else for a while I think.

After watching the guys throw this equipment yesterday, there is no doubt this stuff fits me to a T.  The Diva looked like a tank, getting thru the heads clean and having a nice angle to the pocket. 
I dont know if that ball will fit my game,already having an up the boards ball.  Really thinking of the misfit.  just the video shows the power of the ball and the multiple angles one can play with it.

Maybe the hellraiser core and class 2 reactive. That combo would be sick on the backend

Maybe something even weaker than the Misfit line. Maybe a urethane pearl. I haven't been throwing them long, nor have I thrown most of the balls in the line, but that's what I can see missing. Oh, and a ball similar to the Taboo Spare.

As for the Misfit Pearl's color, it looks awesome up close. Pictures and video don't really do it justice. It isn't a big bright solid yellow. It's got some smoke-like swirls in it and it just seems to shine/glow. Yellow's one of my least favorite colors, but I love it.

Next ball up for me is likely the Too Reckless.

I've not tried DV8 out yet, I'm really thinking about a Misfit Pearl for this lighter oil house I bowl at. Something clean through the front with nice move in the back. Right now the 2 balls I throw there are my Motiv TZ3 and Storm Tropical Breeze Solid. Really can't throw anything much stronger there because all my other equipment hooks too early and much.
