THERE IS NOTHING TO HATE ABOUT THIS DV8 BALL!
The new DV8 Hater is a hook monster and an excellent go-to for bowlers facing heavy conditions and for bowlers who need a little help getting the ball to hook. The Hater has a new core and cover combo; the ultra-aggressive Hater core is wrapped around the most violent version of the HK22 DV8 used, HK22 Havoc Hybrid, and is finished with 1500 grit to bite through the oil. The Hellcat XLR8 and Hater are both made for oil, but the Hater will respond more on the backend for a better angle and more strikes!

Underrated ball that you need!
I usually like hybrids with a little more pearlescent cover but this one is special! Another ball flying under the radar from DV8. I was able to play a little straighter if I wanted but I could also twirl it up and cover some boards. Very versatile in league and I see this getting a ton of play in tournaments too. This is a must have in your bag.

Hater
DV8’s New Monster Hybrid, is just that. Compared to the XLR8 on a house pattern I saw about 4 more boards of reaction and very strong continuation. The HK22 Coverstock and DOT technology will give you plenty of reaction on heavy oil. Check it out at your Local Pro Shop

Hook…..and More Hook!
If you are looking for a big ball in your bag with a tremendous amount of hook, then look no further than the DV8 Hater. This ball is and absolute hook beast that works incredible on oilier lane conditions. The Hater Core and the HK22 additive added to this hybrid coverstock takes this new ball to whole new heights. The DV8 Hater is the big ball you need in your bag to chart and read the lanes. Drilled slightly different from the Hammer Envy Tour with a 40x3.5x30, the DV8 Hater picks up much sooner than the Envy Tour down lane. This ball allows bowlers to adjust the surface to adjust to multiple oilier lane conditions. DV8 continues to create revolutionary bowling balls to fit today’s demanding lane conditions. The DV8 Hater continues in the same fashion of revolutionizing the game of bowling and does not disappoint in performance. DV8…if you are not throwing DV8, YOUR JUST NOT BOWLING!!!
