    Brunswick got a bad rep quite a while back as being weak balls. An d at the time compared to the others , they were weak. They were mostly control balls. It didn't help when they went to Mexico to mfg. either.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    I use all my balls. Always start with my Columbia300 Rival..Just to see how the ball reaction on the lanes is. From there i often shift to Storm Rapid Fire or Virtual Gravity. At late-evening league games when the lanes are really broken down i often end with my RotoGrip Nomad Pearl. Ebonite Maxim plastic for 7 and 10 pins. But the ball with the most frames and strikes behind it's name the last six months must be my Storm V.G.

    Although they are the same company Brunswick was smart and realized that they weren't producing big hook balls but rather control type balls. Wanting a bigger share of the market they knew the younger, spend happy bowler wouldn't buy the "old" people balls. Hence DV8 was formed and deviants have been born around the globe since their first ball on the seen, the Hell Raiser. Now with a full compliment of stylish balls from the controllable Misfit and Reckless to the hook around a corner in an oil spill Hell Raiser Revenge they have added more great balls on both ends of the spectrum. The Zombie ball is arguably the baddest looking spare ball on the market and the Hell Raiser Nightmare may be so strong that it will hook all the way around the block.

    I think I have recruited another deviant. I let the one guy on my wednesday night league try my marauder. He loved it and it really didn't even fit his hand that well. He said he was thinking of picking up the hammer taboo deep purple for his next ball, but those couple of throws changed his mind.

    Default Marauder first 700 leage series

    Hey, I had my first 700 series game with the Marauder DV8, along with a 290 game in that series! I have not done as well with the terror, but that could be because of the oil, and my style of bowling! I am working on a new style!!!! Should be out soon at a theater near you!!! LOL

    Using the new Storm Lucid (602 last night, thats great for me). Will use the Frantic for spares. If I have to I will switch to the Marvel or Anarchy.
