Introducing the DV8 Hater Pearl: The Perfect Complement to the Hater Solid

Looking to dominate the lanes with a ball that combines power, versatility, and style? The all-new DV8 Hater Pearl is here—and it’s everything you want in a high-performance shiny ball. Built as the perfect complement to the oil-loving Hater Solid, the Hater Pearl delivers explosive mid-lane motion and backend power, making it your go-to weapon for medium to heavy oil conditions.

Built on a Proven Core: The Hater Core

At the heart of the Hater Pearl is the same asymmetric Hater core that made the original Hater Solid a standout. This core delivers a strong, consistent motion and excellent energy retention, allowing you to attack the lanes with confidence.

Here are the core specs across different weights:

WeightRGDifferentialAsymmetry

15 lb2.5390.0540.024
14 lb2.5560.0540.024
13 lb2.5970.0410.014
12 lb2.5930.0410.014

These numbers reflect the powerful motion potential built into this ball—especially in the 14-15 lb range, where the differential and asymmetry support aggressive backend reactions.

Advanced Coverstock: HK22C – Havoc Pearl

The Hater Pearl is wrapped in the HK22C – Havoc Pearl coverstock, one of DV8’s most aggressive shiny cover formulations. It delivers:

  • Outstanding traction through the mid-lane
  • Stored energy for a sharp, angular backend
  • Strong performance even on medium to heavier oil conditions

While many pearl balls tend to push too far downlane, the Hater Pearl reads the lane earlier, giving bowlers more control with explosive results through the pins. It’s shiny, but strong—smooth, yet aggressive.

Why You’ll Love the DV8 Hater Pearl

Whether you’re a competitive tournament bowler or a serious league player, the Hater Pearl is designed to make your transition from heavy to medium oil smooth and deadly.

✔️ Perfect transition ball after the Hater Solid starts to read too early
✔️ Strong for a pearl—reliable on fresh and transition
✔️ Angular motion with easy length and a powerful finish
✔️ Gives you a complete 1-2 punch with the Hater Solid

Make ‘Em Hate It

When you roll in with the DV8 Hater Pearl, you’re not just stepping up your game—you’re taking control of it. Your opponents will wish they had it. The pins won’t know what hit them.

Own the mid-lane. Crush the backend. Win the game.
