DV8 Dark Side Curse

DV8 Dark Side Curse DV8 continues to lead the way for the fastest-growing segment in bowling: no-thumb players. Their research and development are centered on creating equipment that matches the unique needs of no-thumb bowlers, and the Dark Side Curse is built with that purpose in mind. It isn’t flashy, doesn’t rely on skid-flip motion, and isn’t intended for the heaviest oil—but it will quickly become the most trusted ball in any no-thumb arsenal. Designed for exceptional control and repeatability, the Dark Side Curse gives rev-dominant or speed-challenged players the ability to score consistently across a wide variety of lane conditions. Like all DV8 no-thumb releases, it features patent-pending core technology engineered to help no-thumb bowlers unlock their full potential.

Today we've got RJ on the lanes seeing if he can recreate his 8-minute 300 game with the original Dark Side Hybrid from DV8. This time, he's armed with the new #DarkSideCurse! Can history repeat itself? Tune in and see!

Pros:

Smooth, control, strong back end

Cons:

Not great for heavy heavy oil

Best Uses:

House shot, light oil sport shit

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Smooth

Designed for 2 handers but this one hander with a thumb loves it! 3rd game out of the box shot 300! Obviously in love with the ball! Very controlled ball along with a strong back end. So far am able to play track area or move left and get it out early for a nice continuous motion! Bread and butter for this ball is outside track basically down and in. Highly recommend for every level bowler!
