Offering unmatched control and consistency, the Dark Side Curse helps rev-dominant or speed-deficient players put up big scores across a wide range of lane conditions.

The smartest move is the one you can trust. The DV8 Smooth Criminal was engineered to bring a new level of control to bowling, combining a lower RG, lower differential core with a smoother, lower- traction coverstock to produce a stable, predictable motion from start to finish. Designed to expand DV8's No Thumb performance options, Smooth Criminal excels on short to medium patterns, wet/dry house conditions, and other challenging environments where stronger balls can become too responsive. By blending the pattern instead of overreacting to friction, it delivers the consistency and control high- rev players need when making quality shots matter most.

Additional product information:

When DV8 introduced the original Trouble Maker, it changed the game. It was the first bowling ball series designed specifically for no-thumb bowlers, built around the higher rev rates, and the unique needs of two-handed and no-thumb styles. That innovation quickly earned a loyal following and established DV8 as the leader in no-thumb performance.

Double Trouble is the next evolution of that legacy. Built from everything we’ve learned since the original Trouble Maker, it delivers more midlane traction and a rounder, more controlled motion than Dark Side Curse, giving rev-dominant bowlers a wider margin for error on stronger and transitioning conditions. While Dark Side Curse is cleaner through the front, Double Trouble blends the lane with a more continuous backend, creating a larger window of usability as patterns break down.

Double Trouble reinforces DV8’s commitment to no-thumb bowlers—proof that our leadership in the category isn’t a moment in time, but an ongoing pursuit of better motion, smarter design, and performance that keeps the fastest growing segment of bowlers ahead of the curve.

Additional product information:

DV8's Patent Pending No Thumb core technology continues to redefine what's possible with the Outsider. Rather than designing around traditional core numbers, the Outsider was engineered to give bowlers more reaction options than ever before. With a benchmark layout, it delivers a versatile, dependable motion that performs across a broad range of lane conditions. Change the drilling, and the personality changes with it. Taller pin, stronger layouts create a sharper, more angular move through the pins, while placing the pin closer to the fingers for weaker layouts produces a smoother, more controlled shape for managing friction and keeping the ball in play. The Outsider gives no-thumb bowlers the freedom to fine-tune ball motion without changing the ball itself. As always, visit the No Thumb resource page on DV8bowling.com for more information.

The DV8 Heckler and Heckler Hybrid introduced a distinct option to the DV8 lineup, delivering the bold motion and performance bowlers expect from the brand. Now DV8 is expanding the line and continuing its commitment to no-thumb bowlers with the new Heckler Taunt. Built to handle oil with confidence, the Taunt features a cover that slows down quickly, creating an early, strong, forward motion that thrives in heavier oil and blended conditions. Testers noted how well it handled the puddle, providing the control and traction no-thumb players often need to keep their angles in check. With its strong midlane, and predictable continuation, the Heckler Taunt is a dependable option for no-thumb bowlers looking for a ball that reads the lane early and keeps the pocket in play.
