BOWLING BALL INFOS

First Impressions
With the Too Reckless, DV8 brings a fascinating new development to the market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Symmetric core, which guarantees very clean motion through the front part of the lane with a 2.55 RG and a 0.042 differential. The pearl reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface, with a 1500-grit polished finish, massively supports this characteristic by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately communicates that this model was designed primarily for later, sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Too Reckless to the Roto Grip Hustle, the glaring differences in backend reaction are immediately apparent. The Roto Grip Hustle tends to read a bit earlier, while the Too Reckless holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That characteristic makes it the perfect complement in your arsenal when the Hustle starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Too Reckless offers a palpably more dynamic angle. It's the ideal solution for situations where the Hustle no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has broken down slightly and transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which delivers maximum, explosive carry. As the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It works excellently on medium to dry conditions and is an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, reactive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on misses out, it should keep your scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
