DV8 Hellcat XLR8 Bowling Ball Features:
If you’re a fan of the DV8 line, then buckle up and get ready for the all-new Hellcat XLR8! This heavy hitter is going to absolutely revolutionize your opinion on aggressive ball motion. DV8 has combined our Maximum Havoc Solid reactive coverstock with an 1500 grit Siaair finish, plus the awesome Hell Raiser D.O.T core, so you can expect loads of traction on oily lanes and impressive continuation through the pins. Get ready for some serious score improvements – fire up your engine and XLR8 with the new Hellcat!
This ball has all the features that made its predecessor, last year’s Hellcat, such a top performer: it’s got an asymmetric design that doesn’t lose energy, so you can trust that it’ll respond reliably on the lane. That means reliable and consistent action on the back end – taking your performance to the next level.

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 and 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.
