DV8 Trouble Maker
Watch out, here comes a Trouble Maker! Due to the growing number of two-handed and no-thumb hole bowlers, DV8 developed a bowling ball for them. Any bowler can effectively use the DV8 Trouble Maker but the two-handers and no-thumb bowlers will particularly benefit from the technology built into this ball. The Dualistic core was designed so that the two finger holes hit designated areas of the core. This results in different numbers than the typical core shape. This core is paired with the proven Inciter Max Continuation Hybrid coverstock to produce a strong overall hook on medium to heavy oil conditions.

Trouble Maker!!!
I am not a two (2) handed bowler, but this ball is really amazing! I drilled this one a bit differently than my traditional layout. I have scuffed the surface to 1500 and use this ball during the start of league or even during early transition on a tournament pattern. With a 45 x 5.5 x 40 layout, this ball is very controllable with a strong continuation backend motion. I can only imagine what this ball looks like with my regular layout. Although a hybrid, this ball can act as a very good benchmark ball.

Here comes Trouble.
DV8 and Brunswick hit this one out of this world. The new DV8 Trouble Maker with the all new Dualistic Core is a straight winner. If your looking for a benchmark ball for 2 handers, no thumb bowlers this one is it along with traditional bowlers. The overall motion of this ball is eye popping. The amount of messengers I have been able to send across the pin deck is amazing. Don't sleep on this one folks. The game has changed for the better

Believe the Hype!!!
I am so proud to introduce to you the newest addition to the DV8 line, the DV8 Troublemaker. This ball has had a tremendous amount of time and effort into designing a ball for bowlers of the new bowling revolution…2-Handed Bowlers and bowlers who do not use a thumb. Well, I use a thumb and all I can tell you is this ball is AMAZING! The difference which sets this ball apart from other balls is its uniquely large core design. I am a HUGE fan of larger core bowling balls because they typically roll much better for bowlers with higher speeds and rev rates. The ball is symmetrical, but doesn’t roll like a typical symmetrical ball. My layout in this new ball is a simple stacked layout with the pin and the CG in alignment. Nothing too exotic, but the ball reaction is beyond belief. Pins DO NOT jump around, but almost seem to collapse in on themselves. The ball works incredible on heavy oil. Strangely enough, I have not left many splits with this ball, and how it rolls through the pins is unlike ANYTHING I HAVE EVER THROWN BEFORE! For 2-handed and 2-finger bowlers, YOU MUST HAVE THIS BALL IN YOUR BAG….PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!! DV8 has done it again and bowlers who take a chance on this ball WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great for 1 or 2 hands!
DV8 hit the mail on the head with this one! Although it was designed for a 2 hander anyone can use it! I punched mine up with ny favorite layout and even thought it has a duller box surface, it didn’t read too early. Had a great shape to it with a nice continuous motion destroying pins! Highly recommend to not only 2 handers but everyone! You won’t be disappointed!

Question:
What to balls would pair well with the trouble maker?
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
Hi Star, depending on your personal preference and style you could pair this ball with a Pearl Coverstock ball which would have more length or a Solid Coverstock which would react earlier on the lanes. When choosing one, you may look for something that is designed for light or medium oil to use once the lanes start breaking down.
