picking up my replacement ball today: Had my DV8 Rucus, destroyed last Friday. They said to pick one out as a replacement and they would pick up the bill. (It was grooved pretty deep all the way around the ball, could not be plugged or repaired)... Will be throwing this new cover stock ball today,,, and will report back

I've heard good things about that ball Mike but it's all been from staffers so you know what that's worth. Let us know what you think.

I know a lot of folks that swear by DV8 and Brunswick in general. GOod luck with it.

Report back how it rolls for you.

Hopefully you can tell us about your soon to come 3rd 300 game. :cool:

We lost our mechanic 3 months ago, and the Gladstone lanes have been a mess! Guys on the senior league that have bowled there for over 30 years, are complaining about not having a shot.

I personally have had my average drop approx. 20 pins because of the inconsistent crazy oil. Many say its like bowling a sports pattern, and very difficult to find a shot.

My average on the Wood last season was about the same, even though I would have some GREAT NIGHTS. Remember they put a different pattern down and length every week, so is was very challenging, that and it was time for the lanes to be reconditioned.

This year the lanes have been refinished... so it will be interesting.


Ok The New DV8 gave me a first game 194, then 182!

I then pulled out my Hammer Deadly Aim,,, and posted a 231 final game.

I did finish my Deadly Aim the night before with a 500, then 2000, with polish. It had a nice move to the pocket, despite the fact
that many were struggling with the oil pattern that was close to being a WHITE pattern in my opinion.

The jury is out still on the Vandal DV8,,, a good house pattern, consistent oil who knows.

The owner of the bowling alley has been checking out the oil, because many, including Hall of Famer Pat Henderson said he was not coming back this fall.

Looking forward to using it this fall, along with the Motiv ball I just ordered for the wood.

Maybe your place can hire this guy to do your maintenance.... I'm guessing he needs a job.
