The fastest-growing style in bowling!
Technology designed for the fastest-growing style in bowling, the no-thumb bowlers. DV8 was the first to do it, and we proved it’s effective and it works. The Trouble Maker series has performed incredibly well for all bowlers, especially for no-thumb bowlers who need a ball designed with more options for drillings and reactions. The Trouble Maker Solid is a strong, big hooking ball created with the no-thumb bowler’s needs in mind. The coverstock is aggressive but not our strongest, making it perfect for the high rev rate and hook no-thumb bowlers generate. The Trouble Maker Solid will be usable when there is oil on the lane, but the ball’s versatility will come through as the lanes transition and get tricky. We have created a library of information for no-thumb bowlers on the DV8 website, so be sure to check it out along with the layout converter tool to maximize this technology for your needs.
Defined drill areas equal more dramatic results
The features of the Dualistic core make the Trouble Maker Solid unique and valuable for “no thumbers.” The Dualistic core is larger than the typical core. It has defined areas built into the design for the two-finger holes to hit specific core parts to change the numbers and reaction more dramatically than a typical core shape. Patent Pending.
