    The Freakshow is DV8's Newest ball line. The price point for this ball is very underrated for the amount of performance you get. I drilled mine up with 46 x 5.5 x 59. Its my go to ball. When I have this ball in my hand I feel unstoppable. This ball rolls good on about anything from the 47ft Scorpion to the 37ft Viper. The read this ball gives you is unique, as you'll see it slows down in the midline and give you a smooth motion off the end of the pattern. That surprised me for pearl cover. I high recommend picking this ball up. IF you haven't tried a DV8 ball in a while then what are you waiting for? Now's the time!

    What can I say about This ball that has not been said before. This ball is flat out clean through the heads with a smooth back end finish. The Freakshow is a perfect house shot ball. I liked the ball out of the box. It never over hooked, It gives you exactly what you want when the lanes are scorched. Its not many balls you can keep the same punch power and move deeper. This ball gives you that, versatility without the nose-dive. The FreakShow is a peice desired by many and should defintely be a piece that fills a gap in your arsenal.

    DV8 Freakshow Left Handed PAP: 4-7/8x1/4 Rev Rate: 355 Speed: 18.5 mph at release Rotation: 40° Tilt: 11° Drilled 55x4.5x25 no balance hole. The DV8 Freakshow is a completely new offering from DV8, especially at this price point. This new offering pairs the new 2.481 RG 0.054 Differential Freakshow Core with the new Class 6V Pearl cover. I have tested the Freakshow on a 43ft 24mL 13.5:1 house shot on wood as well as a 43ft 25mL 11:1 on brand new SPL synthetics. I was thoroughly impressed with the performance that this ball offers for the price point. Each time I began by targeting 12-7 using an "up the back" type delivery. The ball was really clean through the heads and had a smoother arc into the pocket with great continuation through the pins. After 6 frames, I was warmed up and ready to see what it could do. I started moving in and used the built in friction to get the ball back. It was at the point when I was as deep with my feet as I normally go with my Thug Life. This new Freakshow is so clean down lane that it really pops on the backend when fed to the dirt. This ball just keeps surprising me. My friend said it best, "It looks like the ball gets bigger at the pin. It just sends them flying and there's no chance." Brian Graham has compared this to Brunswick's Melee Jab and I would have to agree. At the out of box surface the Freakshow is cleaner than the Melee Jab but it has a strong response off the dry like the Jab. This ball is one that should be on your radar. At this price point, you are getting a lot of ball. This ball has a lot of shelf appeal and would be a great ball to introduce bowlers to DV8. I feel it will be a big hit for many league bowlers. This is going to be my go to ball in my medium-light oil THS leagues.
