The Misfit and the Reckless might be considered mid range balls, but the Hell Raiser and Hell Raiser Revenge would be high end from what I've heard. I think that most manufactures have entry-level, mid-range, and high end balls in their lineup.

Asked my pro shop guy today about DV8 balls.. he said that DV8 balls were just mid range balls.. true?

Ha Ha Ha. He either can't get them cheap enough or is clueless. If they were mid-range balls then bowlingball.com wouldn't have had to increase it's perfect scale for the Hell Raiser Revenge. They are priced like mid-range balls but are not by any stretch of the imagination mid-range performance.

The Hell Raiser and Hell Raiser Revenge are considered pro-performance. The Reckless and Too Reckless are advanced-performance. The Misfit is DV8's entry level ball but is performance rated. I can't wait for them to come out with a spare/plastic ball.

Somebody needs to tell Mike Machuga and Ronnie Russell that they are throwing mid-range balls.![]()
How good are DV8 balls? Good enough that Ronnie Russell made as many TV appearances this past season as he has in his career and that's using the Too Reckless. But given that I watched Wes Mallot do a show with a Frantic and others with mid-performance balls I conclude it shows how good the pros are compared to the rest of us![]()
