This ball sounds intriguing. Although, I really don't care for the looks or name, I would gladly use one if I won one...just not sure if I want to put my own money into one.

I guess this post won't even count towards winning though, since it isn't the 6th yet. Oh well...that's what the wild, wild west does to you...instead of being a day late and a dollar short, we are too early and more than a dollar short...LOL.

I have yet to see this ball in person. the reaction videos look great but they are supposed to right? :)

i have overheard (whether its true or not) that if you have high revs that this ball isnt for you. i wish i could remember why, though...

I don't currently have any dv8 equipment. I see a lot of great bowlers using this ball though. I would appreciate and use the diva.

Isn't this the second Diva they've been giving away in the past month?

Yes, it was back in April. That post was the one that caused me to actually register to participate rather than just reading all of the great information. Unfortunately, due to a website issue I didn't get approved in time and didn't have a chance to win. So I'm hoping this one is mine! I really, really want a new ball.

I have zero plans to buy the Diva, however, if I were to say, ummm, I don't know,,,maybe WIN one, I would be more than happy to use it.

Huh? It's not like Ronnie Russell or Mike Machuga are low rev players. My rev rate is just over 400 and this ball worked great for me.

I'm thinking about getting into the tournament scene this fall/winter and will need more than just the one ball I have now. Winning this would be a good start to building my arsenal. Any idea how this will compare with my Fringe?

RoccoRock
05-06-2013, 10:38 PM
Not that I know a whole lot about the Fringe, but from what I can see the Diva would be a nice addition to your bag. It's stronger than the Fringe, and it will work better on Heavier Oil than the Fringe will. It should be a nice compliment to the Fringe. Plus, it doesn't smell like fruit, so it won't conflict with whatever silly scent the Fringe puts out. Good luck to you, and welcome to the forum.

The reason it worked GREAT FOR YOU BILL ,,,,is,,, YOU ARE A Diva... LOL (:)

The Diva fits practically everyone. My wife throws very little revs and she gets a great hook out of it. During the winter swing I got to see Russell and Machuga use it live and it looked awesome. It is a very popular ball as it was on back order in many places and took almost a month for my proshop to get in.

Technically couldnt any ball be changed to fit someone no matter how fast the speed or how high the revs?

For example how you added an entire bottle of polish to your HRR to make it work for you :D

dont shoot the messenger. thats just what i was told. and i apologize for not remembering exactly why. i planned on getting one. but i switched to the marauder madness because of what i was told. maybe he told me wrong? either way. after everything i read about the madness, i couldnt go wrong

Well think I posted on the wrong post which is what I get trying to do it from my mobile. I saw several Divas towards the end of this last season. I think there were as many of those as there were Nuggets which is what I am throwing. I wouldn't mind trying a Diva or even a Brutal Nightmare.

I wasn't trying to shoot anyone, just wasn't sure why.

Yes but it's always easiest when the bowler, ball and conditions all match. And it was only 7 coats of polish lol

I don't think you have to post on this thread to have a chance to win. It's any post on the boards, I believe.

I know for a fact that you don't have to post in the contest thread. Both balls I won, I didn't post at all in the contest thread.
Of course that was back in the days when actual forum posters could win a ball.
