A BIT OVERKILL! | DV8 Mantra

[@OrangeLight08]

Great ball ... The big "B" is killing it with their amount of variety

[@miguelm6307]

Rev-challenged players will likely love the Mantra. I, myself, am speed-dominant. I'd probably struggle with it out of box. Probably would need to bring that grit down significantly. This is an insane hooking ball. Great video, Nick!

[@TheDeder57]

So you are describing yourself; which means as a ball with an earlier read and a shorter response windows to friction, would match up well, no?

[@tmoore944]

Balls like this is perfect for speed dominant players, but for rev dominant players I would stay away from it unless your bowling on challenging conditions

[@mjfreeman]

Best friend got one of these looked great in ball demo!!! Can’t wait to see what it does on the lanes for him!!

[@johnsilerio2407]

My new favorite brand maybe DV8. They match my ball speed and not having to do much to deviate from my A game.

[@zaim0990]

I think this is the ball i need in order to compensate with my low rev rate

[@ObjectiveEthics]

Brunsnick best bowling channel on youtube. There are some really good channels that I follow but this is the very best. Honorable mention to The Hype, Scott Anderson, Louis Napolis, Creating the Difference, JR Pro Shop and BBB101. I recommend all these channels to anyone who loves bowling and wants to see ball reviews, 1v1 challenges and coaching.

[@brunsnick]

Thank you for that. I appreciate the kind words.

[@TheDeder57]

Another great vid from the big N & B. 😊 Nick, with balls that have, let's call them more agressive reactions; you could always get a full game on them to equalize the cover stock, then just adjust your release, if it's still reading to early, just don't get around it as much/more roll/less rotation. Because as a rev&rotation dominate player (i inagine your rotation is over 5 degrees) you have the physical game to roll it more. Anyway, thank you for the review.

[@timwatson3192]

That's a big boy ball right there!

[@b.r.fowler785]

Not all Brunswick-house bowling balls need the Cohesion additive with the HK22 base resin to perform on the lanes.

[@gabebennett818]

The colors are SICK. Love it. First glance my eye is telling me it snaps back a little harder than the Black Widow 3.0? Might be a little much for my high revs/low speed, but maybe when my house puts out the 43ml oil haha

[@brunsnick]

@@gabebennett818 it stores energy better being shiny, so when there’s dry to throw at, it’ll be very strong off the spot.

[@ChristForeverAndEver]

DAMN that is really overkill! For 300-400 rpm, ball's really going crazy on the dry boards! Imagine: 500 RPM, ( Take notes, E.J. Tackett)😉

[@Mainzer74]

Ordered one up on Thursday before league

[@caseycuster87]

Been loving my sensor solid and needing something when my sensor gets a little lazy, I know the manta RG is higher and but the cover is cleaner, would the mantra be a good option?

[@brunsnick]

Absolutely. Will be night and day once they break down and your Sensor Solid gets lazy.

[@shortfuze7227]

Hello and good evening. Okay so Do you have any suggestions for me about what I could or should do about trying to switch from a two finger one handed bowler to using my thumb as well? I am in my 40s and have always wanted to switch to using my thumb but could never find the right grip for transitioning into a more traditional style. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you and have a blessed day.

[@brunsnick]

I would have a conversation with your pro shop and get fitted again. Let them know where you weren’t comfortable and see what they can do.

[@shortfuze7227]

@@brunsnick awesome thank you!

[@iceman5117]

Any word on another ball with the hell raiser core? My all time favorite line

[@brunsnick]

Maybe! Not sure

[@baruti3405]

Does the cover have sparkles in it like the dv8 dam good verge pearl.

[@brunsnick]

No

[@GrumpaBaggins]

I'm a thumb-in bowler with the Trouble Maker Pearl. This feels like it would be a good 1-2-3 punch with the Trouble Maker series. What do you think?

[@brunsnick]

I can see that working with the right surfaces.

[@shaneennis3833]

How would this compare to the Envision Pearl?

[@brunsnick]

@@shaneennis3833 way cleaner and sharp. Envision was smooth and rolly for me.

[@machinethesun9243]

If you did a different layout, could it have kept you from moving that far left?

[@brunsnick]

@@machinethesun9243 maybe but this was mostly coverstock fueling this hook shape.

[@rb8999]

The info sheet has this in between the Troublemaker Pearl and Chill Pearl, so far the videos out seem to have this outhooking the Troublemaker?

[@brunsnick]

Seems that way in my testing!

[@collinsnow2203]

This one looks insane… Perhaps the highest hooking bowling ball overall of all time.

[@brunsnick]

Wasn’t expecting this kind of motion from the Mantra.

[@collinsnow2203]

@@brunsnick Me either! Looks like it has some competition from the Sublime Focus, which is also a monster out there. But Brunswick for life

[@michaeljamrozy4299]

Maybe a little surface would be good to still have the bite and continuation, but take some abruptness of the flip out

Boy that coverstock is just flinging this thing around the corner.

[@hotstovejer]

This ball makes Nick look like Comcast #cableguy

[@skinniestjeans]

I am so putting a short pin on this one

[@MrYuk-lm3xp]

Okay, it's official I stink. I need to be throwing low end balls so I can play straighter. Hopefully a pin down scorpion LF will get me to the right😢

[@giganerd896]

If you have success staying left and playing straighter, why do you need to move right? Are you struggling staying where you are?

[@stefandieben1141]

Monster hooking ball. Pattern could be something short because you didnt mentioned crownjewel is layed out. Colorwize looks like my tzone spare ball. Not very attractive. Nice review again though!

[@brunsnick]

@@stefandieben1141 I show the lane graph on just about every review. It’s not like it changes.

[@Mainzer74]

[@rb8999]

Setup is irrelevant for ball motion. Watch the ball at the arrows and breakpoint

[@baaadddmannn]

the MANTRA spinning core design on DV8 website looks more symetric than asymetrical, they do poor job explaining what causes it to be asymetrical after watching Brunsnick review it rolls more symetrical......... that is my take away from MANTRA bowling ball

[@brunsnick]

.011 intermediate is a very low intermediate differential, so it is not majorly asymmetrical.

[@SuburbAllied]

For those who likes to play left to right (or opposite), this ball will give you happy-spasm all day long. However, do you really want a ball that bounces off the dry like a rubber ball hitting a wall, whenever the conditions dries up? I know I wouldn't. I suspect that this is that kinda ball that you play one game or two and then put away because it hooks way too much; just like the very strong oil-monster balls. And yes, the colours isn't very attractive at all.

[@brunsnick]

It has its place in a bag, and it’s fun to throw. For someone rev challenged, it could give them extra entry angle to carry more consistently.

[@SuburbAllied]

@@brunsnick Very true. Im afraid that it might be too jumpy, judge by the looks of it in your video. It is a bit like the Virtual Energy Black Out, that has a very appealing look and shape, but unfortunate not really useful except for very specific conditions.

"I walk left and throw right, so should you." Uh, for my game, no. I play down and in or up the boards. Drifting is bad. I must walk the tightrope for success. This ball flips too much to be useful. It is too demanding.
