    Default Anyone else get alot of attention because their DV8 ball?

    My Too Reckless always seems to draw peoples attention due to the design or the amount that it hooks. My crossroad is the stronger ball but ive never gotten any compliments about it other than the fragrance. Whatre your experiences?

    I've had people ask me about my Zombie spare, as well as my green and white Misfit. I would not say a lot of attention, but definitely started some conversations while at the lanes.

    Every week at least one person comes to ask about what I was throwing. Last night after league a young guy asked what the blue and black ball I was throwing was. I told him the DV8 Terror. He said he was interested in a Marauder but had only seen one on the internet, never one live. I smiled, told them to turn on a lane and pulled the Marauder out of the bag. He was going to order his today.

    Ive only been bowling since sept but the only dv8 ive seen at my alley is mine. Mostly storm or hammer here. Im thinking about getting a stronger ball and a terror is near the top of my list

    I was the first with DV8 in my house. Then my doubles partner and two league teammate, Derrick, got the Too Reckless. Now there are several Hell Raisers and a few Revenges. Two of the kids in the youth league bought DV8, one a Marauder (he saw my back to back 300 games with it) and the other a Too Reckless. Our local pro shop had to start carrying DV8 with the air fresheners because so many people asked about them after seeing me at the alley so often with DV8 stuff.

    There is one other guy in my league that throws DV8. He has a Misfit, but every one in awhile I get people telling me how cool the Madness looks.
    My driller made me bowl so he knew how to drill it cause in his words "the ball is too good to blindly drill it".

    Mostly Storm balls in my league, that I've recognized anyway. I don't really ask much about other people's bowling balls. There definitely are quite a few DV8s though. Most of the staff at my league's alley all wear DV8 shirts and such.

    I also was the first person to get a DV8 Hellraiser in our
    center. I got a lot of looks and questions as to what kind
    of ball it was when I first got it. The next thing you know
    after they watched me bowl with it everybody was buying
    and using them.

    I created an army of deviants in our center. LOL!!!!!
