Our verdict

A burgundy and red reactive bowling ball from DV8 at a single listed weight. Core, coverstock and oil recommendations are missing, so how it reacts cannot be judged.

Overview

Rolling a reactive-cover ball in burgundy and red, a bowler gets the Dark Side Curse from DV8, built by Brunswick. The only marketing line in the listing is a playful nod to hexes.

A reactive cover, a bold color and a known brand are the confirmed points. The limit is the near-empty description, which says nothing about hook, cover finish or lane fit.

Who it's for

Bowlers already familiar with the DV8 line, or advised by a pro shop, can use this listing to order the ball. Shoppers choosing on measured specs, lighter-weight players, and anyone needing lane guidance should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two year limited warranty
  • Distinct burgundy and red look
Cons
  • Core and coverstock not listed
  • Single weight in this listing
  • Oil recommendation absent

Performance notes

A reactive cover grips the lane and can hook once it meets friction, with the amount of hook set by the core, surface finish and oil pattern. The listing gives none of those, so only the cover family and weight can be judged. Drilling layout and the bowler's release decide the rest.
