Your welcome but that's what we are here for. Glad the results are to your liking. Hopefully it's just the beginning of many 200+ games. I see a 600 series on the horizon.
DV8 Misfit, Out of the Box! UPDATE Nov 14th
Well I had her drilled today a little less aggressive then my Alpha-Max, and because Im use to no inserts I opted to keep the Misfit the same.
After all the measurements, drilled and a couple tweaks here and there, I was ready to drop down and throw a full string. Im very happy to say the least, I was completely impressed how the ball performed over my Alpha-Max, drilling it the pro decided to take some of the angular hook out and smooth it out and it worked, the transition was flawless as it skid threw the oil and swung into the pins with an powerful punch.
The results, 1st game out of the box was 208, my very first game over 200 ever, backed it up with a 172 and 187. Needless to say, Im very very impressed. Thanks to all and a special Thanks to billf for dealing with all the questions, and Thanks DV8

Another DV8 success story. Congrats on the first 200.
Last night two players from the other team were throwing my Marauder. The one guy threw a 234 with it and the other threw a 223 with it. Both of them were trying to buy it from me right there on the spot.
It won't be long before the Deviants rule the lanes!!!!

Add me to the list as of Wednesday! Next weekend I will be throwing X's like it was my job. Well at least I hope so. The Madness will soon be coming off my hand!
Congrats on the success you had with your new DV8 Misfit. Sounds like you have a new close friend. Keep her clean and treat her right. Just think you have to get use to it yet. Sounds like the sky is the limit. Good luck on your future games.
Just got a misfit also and I'm not sure i like how it's drilled. My guy said to go with semi fingertip instead of fingertip and what he hell do I know, I said that's fine. Ball fells ok to me grip wise but I think he drilled it pretty weak. Not sure what configuration he did but a buddy said the pin(? Is between my finger holes above them in the middle. I'd post a picture of my layout if someone thinks they would be able to tell me what they think.
With all this great talk about DV8 balls being so great, I have to get one now. Really what I have to do is talk my buddy into buying one, then tell him he stinks with it so he will give it to me. I may just go down to the pro shop tonight and see if he has a Marauder is stock. I'm a deviant anyway may as well make it official.
