    Definitely the Byte since it's the only one that has a fragarance.

    I really like my dv8 ball and would buy another one. i have owned brunswick long ago. The motiv balls ive never heard till recently but hear there good balls.
    I was just thinking that maybe another strong ball that gets down the lane a lil more would work best for my style of play. my release is pretty different then most youll see. I talked to my pro shop guy and he thinks seeing that i have right now DV8 brutal nightmare, and a columbia 300 action packed (for medium lane conditions) that a new strong and aggressive ball wouldnt be a bad addition. Then change the surface of the brutal if needed. So now im back to the Byte, not so much a endless nightmare that might be too much, everyone i know LOVES there storm VG pearl. must be a good ball seeing its still same price that it was on its release but idk.
    Thats his suggestion. Im just overwhelmed of the number of balls and hard to make a decision on which to get. Speaking of motiv they have a new one. the ruel intent i think? another longer down the lane ball.....just to many choices!!

    Have you considered the DV8 Misfit or the Misfit pearl? I have one and I'm a big fan of the way it reacts. It's very controllable.

    Onr question is what type of ball motion are you looking for. Smooth,skid/flip. Cruel Intent should be a beast when it comes out next week. Another strong Motiv ball would be the Primal Rage #redball

    So I have decided to go with the storm byte. My reason is I just need more length when the lanes break down while using my brutal nightmare.... Would you say that the byte has more length then the brutal or they about the same?

    Why don't we have an "applause" emoticon?

    But seriously, I like the BYTE in terms of it's bowling ball properties. I don't think you'd see much of a difference between any of those 3, but I don't think you can go wrong with the BYTE. All 3 of those choices are high in price...but if you want one of the newest releases, you're gonna have to pay more.

    im not sure if this was answered in the thread, but why did you buy a heavy oil ball for when the lanes break down?

    It seems like we all recommended a medium ball...

    Reason being my pro shop guy said you could get the byte and then polish up the brutal and use that as a as my second ball or use as needed for what the lane condiments might be... He watched me bowl and and said the byte would be a good ball for the way I play.... I'm not to technical when it comes to it but he said the entry angle I come in at now leaves a lot on 10pins,which it does, and the byte would come at more of a angle throwing the same ball and line I do now and take care of the 10...This is all over my head I just know how to play the game. I carry a 215 average so I must be doing something right I hope... But then again he could be wrong lol

    Lol that's what I said. You would think for someone that's been bowling for 20 years on and of I'd k ow more of the technical side of things but I don't lol. Kinda sad. I really need to start reading up on things I guess. :-) I just hope this ball works like he says It will
