dv8 hell raiser - opinions
« on: September 22, 2011, 04:55:13 AM »
This ball has interested me but I would like to hear from some folks who have experience with it.  I have watched two people throw this ball and I am impressed with the look they get and the back end movement they get.  But, both bowlers turn the ball up pretty well and I am on the low end of Tweener status.

 

So, my question is, anyone out there seen this balls reaction for those without a lot of hand?  How really strong is the backend movement?

 

Thanks, Scott

I've seen many people throw the DV8 Hell Raiser during demos. Granted, the layouts are all the same, but this ball definitely makes tweeners look like they twist it up down lane.

Being a player with not much rotation, my hellraiser is always the first ball out. If its oily, i can bowl straight up and never worry that the ball wont get back. If i need to move in like i did tonight, the ball still finishes really strong. Thats what i like about the DV8 line is that they all have great backend and a little speed adjustment, i can smooth the BE out. Very easy to read and adjust to. Ive been throwing mine OOB surface, but im going to shine the crap out of them and see what happens. Im stubborn and dont want to put it away, the last 2 nites go 237-255-194 and tonite go 225-253-193. So maybe if i polish the HellRaiser, it may last 3 games hopefully since its a great carrying ball. Dont hesitate in getting one.

I have drilled  a few hell raisers in the last couple weeks, one was for my girl friend.  IMHO, the ball needs some oil to get the full reaction out of it.  The hell raiser makes a great move down lane, and pin carry was great also.  First night out my, girl friend shot 700 with it.(would have been higher but she had to move more left then usual and the approaches at our center where just resurfaced)
 
The other gentleman that I drilled one for has a softer release,  he had to play deeper as well but not leek the ball out to early.  The ball still made it back when he did but he had better ball motion when he kept the ball in the oil.
 
Hope this helps with your decision, I don't think you will disappointed with this ball unless your bowling on the Sahara
