DV8 Hellcat XLR8

The DV8 Hellcat XLR8 comes as advertised, it hooks. Out of box I compared it with my Track Archetype and my Brunswick Mindset which are the current 2 big pieces in my arsenal. The Hellcat XLR8 was more by at least 4 & 2 over those two. This is going to be your heavy oil/ long oil ball for sure. It reads early but still has power at the pins. It does not quit like some other balls that might hook early like that. The flare rings were crazy going almost all the way around the ball. For me, I don't see using this on house shots very often but for speed dominant players or low rev players I could see this ball working very well on a THS. Personally, I think this ball will be in play early on any sport pattern over 42' or if there is a high volume of oil. I drilled this with my standard 65 x 3-1/2 x 25. I cruise around 16.5 MPH and have a rev rate around 420. If you like to see the ball hook, the Hellcat XLR8 is for you.

Stronger and Cleaner than the Original Hellcat!

DV8 has done it again! DV8 has taken the proven Hellraiser core and wrapped it in the new Maximum Havoc coverstock and created the new Hellcat ELR8! The new Hellcat ELR8 is much stronger than the original Hellcat, but much cleaner through the heads. The Hellraiser core allows any bowler to create a more angular reaction in the backends. This ball works exceptionally well on heavy oil and flatter oil patterns. I drilled this ball with a 45x4x35 layout to provide continuous ball motion through the oil and dynamic hitting power through the pins. If you are looking for a very strong asymmetrical ball, look no further than the new DV8 Hellcat XLR8.

Answer:


Hi C! These are very similar, but the DV8 Hellcat XLR8 would go slight longer and both would have about the same hook potential.

Answer:


Hello! While these are similiar, the DV8 Hellcat XLR8 would be a bit more aggressive than the Hammer Extreme Envy with a slightly higher hook potential.
