Ball Motion: Finished with a Rough Buff Finish, the Brutal Nightmare skids easily through the front and mid-lane with an extremely quick response to friction on the backend creating a highly continuous motion that pummels the pins. The Brutal Nightmare with its new Class 8 Hybrid Reactive coverstock is the most skid / snap DV8 ball to date and should be used on medium oily to oily lane conditions. Reaction Setup: The DV8 Brutal Nightmare can be drilled using the standard drilling techniques developed for bowling balls with asymmetric cores.

I've drilled 3 of these and they are all great. I am a fan of asymmetric cores, because they are more tunable and you can dial in the reaction for the lane pattern. I have one that is drilled for light to medium oil, and step above my 85 degree Hell Raiser. it is drilled 65 by 5 by 35. This ball picks up a little faster than my HR and makes a stronger move in the backend. I also drilled one pin down, 55 by 4 3/4 by 70, which is similar to an older ball that I liked. This one is stronger midlane, with more of a controlled arc on the back. I found this one to be the most versatile of the Brutals that I've drilled. I can use this on flatter sport patterns as well as wet/dry house shots and it is consistent across the board. From all angles, this ball keeps me in play. My third one I drilled to be a bit more in the back than my 55 degree, pin down Hell Raiser Terror. I drilled it 70 by 4 1/4 by 70. The closer pin to PAP makes it rev harder in the midlane than my 55 degree Brutal, but this one moves harder in the backend. Going up the lane, my 70 degree, pin down Brutal is a bit too early and too much in the back, so this ball fairs better when I have to get left and go around the lane. This is one of my favorite balls, and I can see it working for any style of player.
