Hardest hitting (newer) ball?

[MICHAEL]

I have seen JaMau24 throw both his new NeXXus f(P+R), and his new Vivid. I would have to say the Vivid hits MUCH harder, and seems to leave less 10 pins, (if any)! I bowl with him practice every friday. And WOW strike after strike with the new Vivid. Jason is a cranker, and throws a pretty ball. It was drilled by a alley pro that knows how to get the most out of the ball in regards to your style of bowling. If you live in the North Kansas City Area I would higly recomend this pro, and the Vivid ball! It kicks like a Mule, but smells like a mint!

UNDEFEATED!! Turns pins to dust!! I have to throw it half speed in order not to do damage (

if i where you i would look at the track balls they are nice and have good carry down me i have throw a few of them jsut for tests but not good enoph for me i got too much speed soo i went with the DV8 hell raiser revenge and every time it hits the pins it sounds like a granade has just went off down the lane.

but much louder then any of ball i ahve thrown and i can make it hit hard will any ball i throw even my plastic ball and my urathane ball.

soo it jsut come down too what you think will do the trick cause you should msotly talk to your proshop about opstions that people here give you but also take in what he thinks you should get and figure something out.

You went with the DV8 because you got it for free off of here, don't try to play coy with us striker

I like my Hy-Road but it isn't even my top 5 hardest hitting ball. The DV8 balls hit harder than any others I have thrown or seen. Their entry level ball, The Misfit, even out hits the Hy-Road. Storm's Modern Marvel Pearl hits hard too. Personally, i was disappointed in the hitting power of the Crossroad.
I took a DV8 Hellraiser Revenge, drilled pin up, put seven coats of polish on it after 4000 grit abralon and play straight up the 3 board with it. It's like a cement mixer. Whatever pins that don't fly around the deck come out onto the lane.

how do you put 7 coats of polish ? how do you polish your ball if you don't have a spinner?

Here's how I did it. Only had a handful of throws on it at the time.
1. Wait til the wife leaves the house
2. Clean out the kitchen sink real good.
3. Put ball in sink
4. Slowly run warm water keeping ball and abralon pad wet.
5. Sand entire ball with 4000 grit abralon pad
6. Dry ball with clean microfiber towel.
7. Using a clean towel applied first coat of polish. Let it dry.
8. Remove polish. I used a 6" palm buffer but can be done by hand.
9. Repeat steps 7 & 8 six more times.

Billf what weight is that DV8 hellraiser ?? Do you think that might help my vivid? I have been told its losing its power before it gets to the pins, do to not enough oil... even tho, it has oil all over it when it gets back form the pins?? This ball is a real enigma for me.. I have to stand way right, and hit in between the 1 and second arrow to get it to hook mildly into the pocket,,,.. I will figure it out with the help of the people here... I am in love with the SMELL..... I might stink throwing it, but its just because IMHO, I am doing something wrong!! Or the ball is not dressed up right for our oil condition...

Sounds like it is hooking as much as your alien.. which is barely any hook. Like I said, I'm interested to throw it on Friday to see how it reacts for me, and see how much less it reacts than my Vivid. If all else fails, you can hang it from your mirror in your vehicle as an air freshener. Just don't slam on the breaks, you'll run the risk of obliterating your windshield

Jason,,,,, in all fairness... can pick up any ball, any weight, ((( I 've see him)))) and throw strikes!! He has a gift!! I have that undefeated,,, my hands are much bigger then his with a wider span, and he throw like... 5 strikes in a role!!! On a good day,,, he is one Tough Cookie to beat.... !! He even throw my 16lbs old Titannium... and made it look good!
