DV8’s latest innovation in the no-thumb category!
DV8 is the go-to brand for the fastest-growing group in bowling: no-thumb bowlers. We’ve focused our research and development on crafting the best bowling balls for no-thumb players, understanding that they need products as unique as they are. That’s why we created the new Dark Side Curse. It’s not flashy, won’t skid-flip, and isn’t designed for the heaviest oil, but it will quickly become the most used ball in any no-thumb bowler’s arsenal. 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. As always, our no-thumb lineup features a patent-pending core technology to help no-thumb bowlers maximize their game. Visit the No-Thumb Resource page on dv8bowling.com for more information.
