My First look at the DV8 Dude
Okay here's the first try with the Dude, This was just before league it was the first chance I had to roll it and wasn't to on top of my game. I was checking fit, I found I had to add a some tape.
It looks good so far, looks like it will be a little better for the house shot here.

Well.....
Well I thought you lived in the sunshine state of Florida, not Brooklyn? (.... I know,,, it was a new ball! What in the heck is all that stuff on your bowling arm, and forearm,,, you look like the Bionic MAN!
It does seem to have a nice controlled ark into the pocket,,,, Would you take a picture of its layout? Is it a pin up, or down?
When it hits the pocket, it does look like it keeps the pins low and causes utter destruction!!

The Dude
Will it be your go to ball on league night/afternoon what ever the case may be? If so what ball in your arsenal will it be replacing!
In your video was it on Fresh oil, or burnt up oil?
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
As for the conditions go back and look at the video again I told what they were right at the beginning.
Okay here's the layout.
It's a 5X5 with the pin above the fingers (so similar to the Beatdown which has a 5X4 with the pin in the ringfinger.)
The undrilled dual angle layout is 75° X 5" X 35° no X-Hole
I'm figuring on it being the first ball out of the bag on the house shot. Now If it's happens to be wetter, I'd go to the Beatdown.

Excuse me for asking!!
I think you said it was (just before league), but surely not on lanes that WERE USED in league? That being said, how would I know if it was fresh oil, or undressed lanes adjacent to conditioned ones?Originally Posted by bowl1820

On a side note,,, please lose the High Water pants, and tuck your **** in next time! All IN or OUT, with the shirt!
Looking at the ball going South, I thought maybe it was dry?
Our mechanic only oils the lanes that are used in league that given night, and sometimes puts oil down on a spare set incase a problem might occur on league lanes that night!
I thought it was a legitimate question,,, What in the heck is that under your bionic ball delivery system??? It looks like a huge white bandage?
Also on your forearm, I have seen those devises every once in a while, do they help, or are they for an injury, or both? What do they do for you? Relive pain??? Do I need one!! (
P.S... lose those HIGH WATER Pants, and PLEASE IN or OUT with the shirt!! LOL
Thanks for posting the picture of Your Dude, after drilling!!

Yes those lanes are used in my league, the league takes up the whole house. They were just starting to oil down at the other end of the house While I was bowling.
How would you know, Like I said right at the start of the video theres a title screen that told the conditions.That being said, how would I know if it was fresh oil, or undressed lanes adjacent to conditioned ones?
Well if you had read the info in the video. You would see I said it was the dry leftovers from the afternoon league that just got done.Looking at the ball going South, I thought maybe it was dry?
About the same here, they usually do all the lanes though because theres leagues in the morning, afternoon and evening and they take up most of the houseOur mechanic only oils the lanes that are used in league that given night, and sometimes puts oil down on a spare set in case a problem might occur on league lanes that night!
It was and it was answered in the video. The white thing under my wrist device was just a liner to keep it dry. I made one from a tube sock, the ones you buy are too short for me.I thought it was a legitimate question,,, What in the heck is that under your bionic ball delivery system??? It looks like a huge white bandage?
The strap near my elbow is a elbow support to prevent tennis elbow.Also on your forearm, I have seen those devises every once in a while, do they help, or are they for an injury, or both? What do they do for you? Relive pain??? Do I need one!! (
Well those were my old work pants, I didn't get a chance to change.P.S... lose those HIGH WATER Pants, and PLEASE IN or OUT with the shirt!! LOL

Teammate has a dude and he plays 10 board and stand 10-15 all the time, he has hard time keeping on pocket side. Goes through head and Brooklyn all the time with it.

NO PROBLEM-O for THE DUDE/JASON
He has been bowing up a Storm with his DV-8 Dude!! As I mentioned in an earlier post,,, The day it was drilled, and handed to him, he had NO, NONE, practice throws... He was handed the ball, and threw a 10 pin leave, picked it up, then all strikes!!
But then Jason is not HUMAN,,, only half!!
