I have freed up a little cash for a new addition to the arsenal but find I am torn between three;
Roto Grip Defiant Soul
DV8 Marauder
Storm Reign of Power
I am reallllly thinking hard about a DV8, but love the Paragon core like you find in the Defiant. I am also thinking I need to get a less aggressive ball than the Soul.....can't make up my mind!
What say you???

Consult with your pro-shop

Tough choice! on one hand i have the marauder it's awesome, and you can join the marauder group on the forums lol. but the other two balls look really cool as welll and i'd love to try them.
I guess it comes down to what would be the best fit in your arsenal, if you need a medium oil ball go marauder, if you need heavy go defiant, and the reign of power fits right between the two. the defiant and marauder are both hybrids, so with have close to the same length, where as the reign is a solid and will hook a lot sooner.
Hope this helped!
Consult with your pro-shop
I don't know about this, if the pro shop is a "storm pro shop" the marauder wouldn't be given a chance. then there's the thought that they would recommend the defiant simply because it would be the most expensive.

from looking at what you got in your bag your dont need the soul because you got the critical theory and defiant,
the DV8 marauder would be a good fix because it would go nicely between your vivid/lucid and your wrecker.
the Storm reign of power you don't need its just like your wrecker it would hook the same amount so its better to pick another ball then that one because you already got a ball that would do every that it would do.

the DV8 too reckless is a great ball when you first get it, it might be a little hard to control because of the high polish but after abit of throwing it down and learning how it works it works great but if you want to get a nice sharp hook then take the polish off it and you will see a ball hook last saturday i was throwing my too reckless up the right side and making it hook over and taking out the 4 and 7pins

I've thrown both a reckless and too reckless and had trouble getting the core to really turn.... maybe it was just a weird shot that night.

Maybe it was drilled wrong?

the thing about the too reckless is that the rg is higher and the diff is low 0.050 so the ball dose not have as much of a snap on the backend but it will hook strong if you take some of the polish off it because it has high polish i got mine drilled for length with strong backend.

Defiant Soul would be my choice. Less would be beserk which is a great compliment to the Defiant I have.

Well I pulled the trigger on a DV8 Too Reckless. I couldn't help it, the price was too good to pass up. Can't wait to get her punched up.
So, am I now a member of the DV8 family?? ;)
