No-Thumb Resources
The fastest growing and most exciting category in our game is the no-thumb and two-handed bowlers. 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 bowling balls that would work for traditional bowlers but is specifically designed with no-thumb and two-handers in mind. This page has all the resources you need to maximize your style!

Tools and Guide
SYMMETRIC: 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. (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.
