Heckler

The DV8 Heckler is an impressive addition to any bowler's arsenal, particularly for intermediate and advanced players seeking a reliable ball that combines performance and versatility. After putting a few games in with it, here’s my take on its features and performance. Design & Aesthetics: Right out of the box, the Heckler grabs your attention with its vibrant and eye-catching design. The striking colors and graphics give it a unique personality that stands out on the lanes. The overall finish is sleek and polished, which not only looks great but also enhances its performance. Core and Coverstock: The Heckler is equipped with the innovative “Havoc” core, designed to create a powerful blend of hook potential and backend reaction. This core provides an impressive amount of energy retention, ensuring the ball maintains its momentum throughout the pins. The combination with the durable reactive coverstock allows for excellent traction on medium to heavy oil patterns, making it highly versatile across various lane conditions. Performance: When it comes to performance, the Heckler does not disappoint. On the lanes, it showcases a strong mid-lane read with a smooth backend break that translates well into a powerful pocket entry. The ball handles oil effectively, allowing for a controlled and predictable line, which is crucial for any competitive bowler. I found the Heckler to excel on medium-heavy oil conditions, where it provided a perfect balance between hook and control. The ball consistently delivered tight, smooth arcs, making it easy to adjust to different angles as the lanes transitioned. This adaptability is a significant advantage, especially during tournament play where conditions can change rapidly. Conclusion: Overall, the DV8 Heckler is a superb bowling ball that merges style with performance. It’s especially suited for bowlers looking for a reliable and attractive option that performs well over a variety of lane conditions. Whether you're a league player or just in for casual games, the Heckler stands out as a worthy investment. I would highly recommend giving it a try; its impressive backend reaction and smooth control make it a winner on the lanes!

I am very proud to introduce to you the newest addition to the DV8 line, the DV8 Heckler. DV8 has been at the leading edge by developing bowling balls designed for the two handed revolution. The new DV8 Heckler follows with this new asymmetric Unholy core which is specifically engineered for oily conditions, offering unparalleled performance especially for the no-thumb bowlers. The HK22 cover with Cohesion and Maximum Havoc additives was strategically chosen to match up with the new Unholy core to overcome oily lane conditions. I drilled the new Heckler pin down and with the mass bias down below my thumb, which allows for the ball to roll much heavier on oilier lane conditions. For 2-handed and 2-finger bowlers, this is another incredible ball from DV8 and is definitely a must have in your bag. DV8 keeps on creating innovation in bowling equipment and has done it again with the new DV8 Heckler. If you are not throwing DV8, you’re just not bowling!!!
