This contest is rigged.... unless I win.

[Blacksox1]

In for the win :)

[Sgray10]

It never hurts to continue to try!

Talk about a sweet ball, the Deviant Pearl is!

This was designed to build on the success of the original Deviant. It has the same core, but it has the Thug Life coverstock and man is this ball strong! It has more length down lane and more total hook. How much more hook? How about up to 10 boards!

This ball is a monster!

I've never thrown a DV8 so this would be a good one to win.

[bowlndance]

Have the Deviant and like it; would like to try the pearl and compare!

[Crash26]

Love the look of the ball and from what I've seen from reviews, it looks like it could fill a hole in my bag.

[classygranny]

Just the ball I've been looking at to add to or start a new arsenal. Free is always good! And since my Meanstreak Brawler I won on here has cracked, I think I deserve to win again.

[Chamiso]

I would love to win this ball. I have been looking to buy it for about a month now since trying it out at a ball demo. Getting close to have the money saved up but would be nice to win instead then I could put the extra money towards more coached practice.

[mishatx]

It certainly has the right look for Halloween.

[manke]

DV8 always has the coolest looking balls!!

[LOUVIT]

good choice

[zacks]

I'm in need of a pearl and this is one that I've had my eye on. Please pick me :p

[Goose]

I love the DV8 bowling balls and my Ruckus Schizo and been wanting to get the Deviant. I have heard I shouldn't keep throwing the asymmetrical ball (my Ruckus) all game long since it flattens out?!

Maybe somebody here can explain that fact?

[Sandy]

I would love a new ball. apparently the ball I have now was drilled wrong. I don't know if it makes a difference, But a new ball drilled correctly would be great.

In what way was it drilled wrong?

You can always have it plugged and redrilled correctly. Just find a good pro shop in the area.

Great ball to whoever wins!

Hi there, my pro shop guy told me the same thing this week. During the transition asym balls burn up faster than sym balls if I understood him right.

I've never thrown a DV8 so this would be a good one to win.

You won't be disappointed with DV8. It's a great brand along with Brunswick and Radical!

I have heard I shouldn't keep throwing the asymmetrical ball (my Ruckus) all game long since it flattens out?!

That all depends on if you're losing the shot. If your having consistent results throughout the series and aren't struggling to keep a working line, why change balls? If you end up losing the shot and you're third game scores are consistently worse than your first game scores, then whoever said this is probably on to something. Do you hear this from a person that watches you bowl or knows what your results are?

Simply put, an asymmetric ball will burn up faster, but that doesn't necessarily mean there is blanket statement that says 'do not use an asymmetric ball all night.' Depending on conditions, the time to change balls may be after the first game or it may be after you're finished. There are too many variables to simply say 'an asymmetric ball shouldn't be used all night' so consider the source of the advice and don't fix something if it isn't broken.

I haven't had much luck lately with my DV8 Thug Life, but I think that is primarily because it needs more oil than what they put down on my league nights. I'm looking forward to giving it a shot at a tournament later this winter. I'm definitely interested in trying some other DV8 options, they have the coolest ball names/designs.

[Crash26]

Good luck everyone! Thanks for the chance at winning an awesome ball bowlingboards!

[Revemup300]

Thug Life cover (a ball that I love ) in a symmetrical ball . I really need this one to go with my other DV8 balls
