    Welcome to Bowling Boards Steve Mac! LOL!

    DV8 Thug will be a fine ball for a fresh condition. All depends on how you play the lane and how you can adjust to what the lane is telling you in terms of reaction.

    My advice is to get yourself back up to speed with your current arsenal and when you are comfortable start adding to it if you desire.

    Classic, don't defend what you wrote, just attack the one who wrote it.

    As for being psychic, time will tell.

    All I have to go on is the title, and your track record.

    I don't need to know more about writing than a writer to know that the "instead" was wrong.

    Like I don't need to be a painter to know that a Jackson Pollock is crap.

    I love my Thug, rolled my first 300 with it earlier this season. It's a very aggressive cover stock ball, if you want something even stronger, the Thug Unruly will be out in a few weeks.

    Well i got the dv8 thug unruly, track 910a, and getting the arctic sniper next week for a spare ball. Think i may also want a lower end dv8 ball for junk lanes.

    The Thug Unruly should be great for fresh oil. Kind of been thinking about either buying one of those myself or buying a lower model for burned up conditions.

    The unruly is much stronger than the original Thug. I had a pretty good conversation about it with a DV8 staffer who bowls in one of my leagues. He loves his Unruly, he didn't like his original Thug.

    Definitely agree. I love my unruly. I was actually thinking of getting the original thug as the step down ball as the lanes start to transition from the unruly. Probably polish the thug too. And maybe get a misfit or an outcast for the crap lanes.
