Throw caution to the wind and pins to the deck with DV8's Reckless.
Pin to PAP(5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 4"
Dual Angle Layout - 40* x 4" x 45*
Balance Hole - 1" x 3" P4
Surface Preparation - Out of Box (500 Siaair Micro Pad; Rough Buff)
What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
Well as you may have seen lately mid-performance balls have been some of the best selling and best reacting balls on the market for some time. The technology that goes into some of these balls is equal to that of the high performance balls but with a milder coverstock and a lower price point. Typically we see more length with a good amount of recovery out of balls in this category.
From what we have seen from the DV8 brand and the Reckless we expected nothing less. We drilled this with an aggressive layout as well as an aggressive extra hole position to see what this ball can do matched up against the craziness of the Hell Raiser.
We expect the Reckless to provide a smooth look through the front with a quick transition off the dry boards and nothing less then a ton of recovery.
Lets See.
What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
Possibly my favorite DV8 ball. Even though I felt like I owned the lane with the Hell Raiser the Reckless did exactly what I thought and let me play a little further right and open up the right side of the lane and create a ton of power at the pins.
The ability of this ball to clear the heads was amazing. Right up there with Storm mid-performance balls in my opinion which is a good thing these days. The Reckless showed me no concern for any friction early and cleanly go to my breakpoint before shredding the backend portion of the lanes. Every time this ball got to the point, it was going left towards the pocket. Even on a few shots where i thought I leaked it right, it recovered and destroyed the pins.
Overall this ball has a really good look and the kind of look that I think all league bowlers as well as high end bowlers will like and find very versatile across many conditions. Again the looks of the entire DV8 line completely impress me and make these balls pop off the rack when you see them.
