This one's meaner than the last.. declare war on the pins with the DV8 Marauder Madness bowling ball!

Description:

The blue/neon yellow solid Marauder Madness adds more power to the DV8 product line at a modest price. The new Marauder Madness is clean through the front and digs in the mid-lane to create a strong and continuous motion on a variety of lane conditions. This stronger ball motion is a result of its medium RG performance core matched with the new Class 5G reactive coverstock. This special coverstock formulation maintains proper grip throughout the lane on medium oil lane conditions.

This one's meaner than the last.. declare war on the pins with the DV8 Marauder Madness bowling ball!

Pin to PAP(5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 5"
Dual Angle Layout - 60* x 5" x 65*
Balance Hole - n/a

Surface Preparation - Out of Box (500, 4000 Siaair)

What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
Well DV8 is saying that the Marauder Madness is meaner then the original Marauder. From the looks of the ball out of the box it appears it should have more teeth.

I used a standard pin down layout to see what this bad boy can do. I am expecting this ball to start up sooner then the Marauder with a continuous motion off the break point. I know our buddies at DV8 were very proud of this ball and excited to see what it did for us.

What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
Oh my, the Marauder was a really solid ball release. It did exactly what DV8 said it would and they stepped it up with the release of the Madness.

My first comment after throwing this ball was...Did they get it too close to their high performance ball motion. I swear this is the strongest mid performance ball I have thrown in a long time. I think you will be hard pressed to find a ball at this price point that offers this kind of motion.

Off my hand it was a little earlier then I expected but it did not stop. I swear this ball just kept hooking more and more as it got down lane. The recovery area I had with this ball was incredible. I am a huge fan of mid performance balls because they tend to store up energy better and provide a more consistent ball motion for me. That is definitely the case here. The Marauder Madness is possibly my new favorite ball.

You have not tried a DV8 ball yet, this is a great place to start. You will not be sorry.

Edit - Oops should have paid closer attention - I'm getting the original Marauder, not the Madness. I might be adding this one later on though. Too many toys, not enough money lol.

I want them both but funding is currently an issue. I also want the Zombie and the Nightmare so I can have the whole collection at my disposal.
Am I biased? Not really. My average is up 30 pins since I started using bowling balls and not the air fresheners.

Don't you have some pull at that house? I'm sure you could work something out so he could start his bowling career with a DV8 zombie ball.
