- Thug Corrupt

First Impressions
The DV8 Thug Corrupt brings a striking Violet, Green and Black solid design to the lane. Inside works the hefty asymmetric Thug Low RG core with an RG of 2.505, a massive differential of 0.052 and an intermediate differential of 0.015. The cover is the Composite Solid Reactive Cover, brought to a tacky texture out of the box with a 500 and 4000 Siaair finish. Thanks to the medium RG and the massive differential, the ball glides moderately through the front part of the lane and digs in extremely hard in the midlane to generate maximum traction.
Comparison
Comparing the Thug Corrupt to the DV8 Thug Life, the Corrupt shows drastically more traction and a far earlier overall reaction in heavy oil. Against a ball like the Storm Alpha Crux, the Thug Corrupt's strong differential delivers a very similar, massive and steady asymmetric hook. Once transition changes the lane and friction increases, the strong surface burns up energy extremely quickly. It works very well on massive oil volumes.
On the Lanes
The DV8 Thug Corrupt is most at home on heavy lane conditions. It's an outstanding option if you're looking for a dependable and extremely strong ball motion. The asymmetric core produces an absolutely predictable, heavy motion, which builds confidence when playing direct lines in heavy oil. The ball should ensure that carry is secured through a consistent, powerful entry into the pocket. On dried-up patterns it inevitably misses the pins.
