This might be a good ball Im not sure I have thrown a few DV8's and I still have one left the Terror. I had the Hellraiser revenge and and cracked and the replacement never felt as good as the first one I had. I dont know that I have seen this one outside of the proshop. Wouldnt mind giving it a try.

Thanks Mike! Same to you. We've both improved a lot since then.

I've been looking at the ball awhile. I like how simple it looks, no crazy colors to distract you and it has one heck of a core.

I wonder if the "Dude" stands for "I can't believe I got that strike!"

The core alone makes you say "DUDE! Look at that CORE! " The Ball looks like it would play well into my normal position and the ball speed that I currently have. I have been a fan of DV8 since I started seeing them pop up more often around the lanes.

I like the shape of the hook in that video, looks like a really good ball for medium to dry conditions. DV8 in general is rising on the "want to try" radar.

This ball is so SMOOTH! I have one and love it (not saying I wouldn't want another one...:rolleyes:)
For me when my lines start getting beat up late in the second game, I have been going a little to the outside with the Dude and has worked out well for me so far.

One of my teammates just got this. He shot poorly with it as he didn't get any practice with it before hand. Nice ball.

thats what I was thinking when looking at the video, that it would work well as a ball on drier lanes, or later on in the match after the lane oil has been beat up a little bit.

Dang! Awesome. What was your average before using this ball?

Well I've had this ball since the start of January, and it's the only ball I've used this month. Prior to January, my highest league average to that point was 232. However, all my leagues combined for the previous 3 months prior to getting this ball was around 220 (started the year hot, and have cooled down a little). So that's about a 19 pin jump I've got from this ball! I didn't know it was that much. I'm rather shocked myself. I've had a huge boost. Granted, a lot of that could be I'm just bowling better, but I do love the ball too.

I've been eyeing this ball up since it came out. Sounds like it would be a good addition to have with the Nightmare I got from last years winter league and a good replacement for the old Freeze I've been throwing for a few years.

I was there when Jason/Dude got his handed to him from the driller! It was still warm! Without any warm up on league night, his first throw was a ringing 10 pin, he picked it up and then threw all strikes for a 290!

As I thought, The Dude, was Made for THE DUDE!! Jason's nick name! He makes that ball do the tango with the pins!!! As he mentioned, I believe he has a 234 average with it!! Correct me if I am wrong Dude!

All I know is for the Dude, its ONE HELL of A BALL!!!

Trying to reach my goal of an 190 average. I think this ball could help if I were to win it.

I've been having some issues with consistency the past 4-5 weeks, been looking at either re-drilling one of my current balls to change the pin position or get a new ball. Like the looks of the DV8 lineup and I see them being used more and more.

I have been wanting to throw a DV8 ball for awhile now. I know that DV8 will provide a different motion from most everything I have, but I think that this Dude will fit well into what I like to see: smooth and even. Please please pick me!!!!!!!

I've never throw DV8 but I would love to start! Have I mentioned that I haven't owned a brand new ball in many years??? See, I can't afford new balls due to family medical expenses. I have a son with an auto-immune disease and my daughter had surgery on her legs to even their growth and then she broke her ankle. My wife had several surgeries. Now I'm going through divorce...

Do sob stories help to win? This stuff is actually true BTW....

Jason recommended this ball for me! Last time he recommended a ball for me, it was the IQ pearl, and I bowled a 300, a week after getting drilled! Jason has been bowling out of this FRICKEN WORLD with this ball!!

I have never owned any DV8 equipment, so winning this would be a nice way to try it out.......If I don't like it I would be willing to send it back....

I decided to get the Ruckus!! It was drilled today by my friend, and teammate James, of BP, Pro Shop here in Kansas city! He has drilled several balls for me including the two that gave me the 300s! I hope this one has the magic too. Will know tomorrow we are having league early so everyone can get home to watch the Super Bowl!

I respectively withdraw my name from this drawing!! Besides that Beatdown that I won still has that new ball smell!

May the best man/woman/boy/girl win!!! :)

I hate FB.

Jaescrub...in your avatar/picture...."what" are you holding??? I only ask because ever since I've been on here....I've wondered that. Because, and there's NO WAY I'm the only one that thinks this.....but it kinda looks like you're holding a giant dildo. I'm not judging...to each their own...and it's a family site so lets just refrain from further explanations of it's use....for the kids out there, "he just mispelled "dingo"...he thinks it looks like a kangaroo...he's so silly." But seriously dude...what bachelorette party did you go to?? Or please say it's something else...like a really cool bottle of scotch wrapped in a brown paper bag. Anything really.

It's a 40oz of Ol E 800. At our local pub they have a thing called the centennial club. you have to drink 200 different Beers. So on that night I had a brown paper bag to put my 40 in ha ha ha.

Mystery solved. Thats good. It's a much more pleasant picture/avatar to look at knowing that it's a 40oz beer than a 16" King Kong Monster Dong.
