Nice, Im thinkg of the too reckless as well and the Misfit. Let me know what you think of the too reckless after you get to throw it a few times.
I can vouch for the Storm Crossroad. The more i use this ball the more i fall in love. Should be getting my Too Reckless today.

A DV8 staffer I know swears by the Too Reckless. In his opinion it's the best ball they make. I've used Derrick's several times and believe it would make a good combo with the Misfit to cover most lane conditions with some adjustments.
It's tough to say for each bowler how many conditions a ball will work on when you don't know their style, what they can vary, etc. Personally, I can use any style and play from board 1 to lofting the gutter. Others can only play one lne. We're all different and have different needs.

I gotta say if your brunswicks are anything like our brunswicks in TX, theyre not very oiled. I bowl league at an AMF, and my strong balls (whoa...) are fine because theres so much oil. But at brunswick where its drier, i find myself having to use an old 13 pound spare ball i have that's urethane.
Definitely talk to your pro shop guy and take his word over any of ours. Chances are he is familiar with the lanes and can make a good recommendation to you.
Not helping the situation since 1983.

What are your thoughts on the new Misfit pearl? Watched a couple videos and sounds like the Pearl might be a better pick for a higher rev bowler when the lanes start to dry up over the original Misfit. Is it worth holding off and waiting for this one?
Also thinking I'm I better of going with the Too Reckless as my main ball then the Misfit followed by my spare ball. or is it better to get the reckless and the too reckless followed by a spare ball. Thank you again everyone.

Ordered my Too Reckless should be in tomorrow!! Now just have to wait for some side by side reviews on the Misfits!
The Pearl isn't out yet, so probably no one here has thrown one, but it does sound nice. It should be a nice compliment to the Misfit. Pearl balls tend to get down the lane a little further, and work better when the oil breaks down.
Trying not to suck, one day at a time.
