No-Thumb Resources Page
The fastest growing and most exciting category in our game is the no-thumb and two-handed bowlers. We've made a resource area to help you maximize that style!
DV8’s latest innovation in the no-thumb category!
The Dark Side is crafted to give no-thumb bowlers more drilling options and a greater performance advantage, featuring a revolutionary, patent-pending core design called Duality. While it’s optimized for no-thumb players, the Dark Side is still a fantastic choice for traditional bowlers. The Duality core is the lowest Differential offering in the new No-Thumb category, creating less flare and a new motion for this category. Equipped with the Inciter Hybrid coverstock and finished with compound, this ball provides easy length through the front of the lane while delivering a strong continuous motion on the backend. Whether you’re a no-thumb bowler or a traditional player, the Dark Side offers the perfect balance of power, control, and performance. Check out our No-Thumb resource page on DV8bowling.com for more in-depth information on how the Dark Side will work for you!
