DV8 Misfit

[Cuda K5]

I am thinking about ordering a Misfit pretty soon and I just want to make sure it is a good choice for what I want. I have been throwing a DV8 HRR along with a plastic spare ball and of course I would like a ball that will work better in drier conditions without a dead pocket hit like my spare ball. I prefer to start throwing between the 20 and 25 boards getting pretty close to the edge with some good length and a good angle into the pocket, slowly working my way left. I guess I would be considered a "cranker" I have a high rev rate and throw between 14 and 16mph for the most part. I would rather get a ball less agressive then too aggressive. Tell me what you guys think.

Thanks

i Think the Misfit would be a great ball for this, the Hrr and a plastic ball.... thats a big variance LOL

the Misfit is a bit closer to the plastic than it is to the hrr, a ball like a marauder would complement the hrr + misfit + plastic.....

that is kinda what I was aiming for once I suck it up and buy a 2+2 bag


and yes the big variance is killing me. I have to make too many adjustments in 3 games it ends up messing up my spares. I am finally getting to the point where I can adjust the axis on the HRR and almost throw it all 3 games....... but now I burn up my teammates lines really fast and he is bowling significantly worse come the 3rd game lol. Luckily with the ammount of revs i put on the ball, I can make a plastic ball move a lot

I think the Misfit would be a good fit. I'm no cranker but when I try to throw a "Hollywood hook" with my Marauder on dry lanes, it burns up too quickly and hits the pocket like a feather (to it's credit, it still hits the pocket though, despite my lack of consistency). In open bowling I have to play down and in in order to get it into the pocket with enough energy left to get decent pin action out of it. A Misfit would not burn out as fast on dry lanes as the Marauder would for you IMHO. Plus it's a less expensive ball which leaves you more money for bowling! :D

the price and bright green color were the first reasons i looked at it! lol jk

Yes, the Misfit will work great for what you are looking for. There is a big gap between the HRR, andvtge Misfit, and plenty of nice DV8 balls to full in those gaps!

I am not a fan of the misfit.

You know bill I was thinking about it. It's the internet, and everyone is a stranger so no one should take it personally. But to some people they really love bowling and come on these boards excited about who they are, how they play, the balls they use, the personal accomplishments they've had. But when they see little jabs like this, personal insults or worse, it can honestly actually make them feel pretty horrible inside. I don't know why. It shouldn't but it does. And I think while that eventually fades the sad fact remains that you are a pathetic human being, a very little person, to come on a bowling forum and insult people. I know who you are in real life but I've not made a single comment about it. It's called decency.

So as you are saying that no one should insult anyone on here, you then insult me. You have no idea who, or what I am. Your so decent in not naming who I am, yet you already came on here and said I was BillF, which is wrong. You don't say "who I am" because you have no idea who I am, or anything about me. I am on here what I am in real life. Anything said on here I have no problem saying to someones face. You are the one who hides behind they keyboard, and runs to the mods when something is said that you don't like.

Yeah, I'm sure you have no problem saying it to someone's face too. I don't doubt it. Can't say that's a quality I would say is admirable. But like I said, you insult people because it makes you feel good inside and makes the little man in your head bigger than he is. It's just sad that you don't see that internet or not, it hurts people who don't take this game as serious as life and death but still enjoy it their way and have wonderful personalities in the real world and are good decent human beings.

BTW, if you read 99% of my posts, I am helpful, encouraging, and do what I can to grow this sport. 99% of you posts are asking the same questions over and over. Nothing I have said has been this crazy over the top insulting nonsense. A joke here or there, that's it. Geez, make a small joke and the fun police come out. You don't know me, but I know exactly who you are.

Ok slick :rolleyes:

Sorry for the breif derailment folks! I am in fact going to look at the Misfit today. I need a few new balls, and the Misfit does fit into what I am looking for. If I stay no thumb, the Misfit may be my league ball. If I don't, the Misfit may be good for touneys when the oil breaks down a little. Either way, most people thinkit's a great ball, so it should work nice.

[75lockwood]

Play nicely........

[MisterSinister]

Real quick then im done. I said you are one of those guys who runs to the mods, and I realized I was wrong. I may not agree with you Ball99999, but at least you have the guts to stand up for yourself. You are dead wrong with a lot of what you say (like accusing me of being BillF) but at least you have the guts to say it. This isn't a sarcastic post either, I'm being real.

I saw the humor in this post. even laughed out loud

[billf]

I was at work by 7 am and just got home. Imagine my surprise when I read all of the above. Ball9999, I am not mistersinister. Of course if you still have me blocked as you said you would do then you can't even see this. I made a post pointing out what I thought may be a real cognitive issue. I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings or imply you were less of a person or bowler than anybody else in the galaxy. I was just trying to make sense of the various posts where you just worded things slightly differently but the same question, how every bit of advice couldn't/didn't work, and the best, after all the implied problems you were having yet didn't need a coach. I say implied because you did post after that you were just trying to discuss some scenarios. You sit back and call me names in posts and in PMs all the while forgetting I did say how I wish we lived closer so I could see you in person and help with the things that for whatever reason weren't translating from the written word to the lanes for you. Do you annoy me? At times but who doesn't? Human beings are annoying by nature.

Well haven't been reading this thread, but I see it's came to a dead end. So
