Introducing the Trouble Maker!
There is no question that the fastest growing and most exciting category in our game is the 2-handed bowler and those that don’t use their thumb. These styles have revolutionized the game, yet there has never been a bowling ball designed with the uniqueness of these players in mind. DV8 saw a need in the market for a ball that would work for traditional bowlers but is specifically designed with 2-handers and no-thumb bowlers in mind, and we are excited to introduce the Trouble Maker.
Defined drill areas equal more dramatic results
The features of the Dualistic core make the Trouble Maker unique and valuable for “no thumbers.” The Dualistic core is larger than the typical core. It has defined areas built into the design for the two-finger holes to hit specific core parts to change the numbers and reaction more dramatically than a typical core shape. Patent Pending.

No-Thumb Dual Angle Converter Tool
To help with the no-thumb layouts, we recommend using the Dual Angle Converter Tool to translate the recommended DOT to center of grip (CoG) and DOT to positive axis point (PAP) distances into dual angle layouts. Our no-thumb Dual Angle Converter Tool provides the dual angle values for your desired layout helping maximize the ball performance of the Trouble Maker’s Dualistic core. (NOTE: Converter is a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet)
DOT to Center-of-Grip (CoG) Distance Guide
Remember: the CoG is the bridge center for no-thumb players.
Do not confuse this with the ball’s CG. Use this guide with DOT-to-PAP distance to obtain desired reaction. Patent Pending.
