The Heckler series brought a unique look and reaction shape to the DV8 lineup, giving bowlers the strong motion and versatility they’ve come to expect. Expanding on that success, DV8 introduces the Heckler Taunt, a ball specifically designed to meet the demands of no-thumb bowlers facing higher volumes of oil. Its aggressive coverstock digs into the lane early, generating strong traction and a controlled, forward-moving shape that excels on heavier and flatter conditions. During testing, the Taunt stood out for its ability to handle oil-rich areas with ease, helping players maintain control without sacrificing hitting power. Featuring a strong midlane read and smooth continuation through the pins, the Heckler Taunt delivers the consistency and predictability no-thumb bowlers need to stay lined up and strike with confidence.
Here's what DV8 has to say about the Heckler Taunt:
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.
