Additional product information:

DV8 is the go-to brand for the fastest-growing group in bowling: no-thumb bowlers. We’ve focused our research and development on crafting the best bowling balls for no- thumb players, understanding that they need products as unique as they are. That’s why we created the new Dark Side Curse. It’s not flashy, won’t skid-flip, and isn’t designed for the heaviest oil, but it will quickly become the most used ball in any no- thumb bowler’s arsenal. Offering unmatched control and consistency, the Dark Side Curse helps rev-dominant or speed-deficient players put up big scores across a wide range of lane conditions. As always, our no-thumb lineup features a patent-pending core technology to help no-thumb bowlers maximize their game.

    Dark Side Curse

    Posted by Bowlstud on Jan 26th 2026

    Great addition to the line. This is the smoothest ball DV8 has made, very controllable. I drilled mine 85x5.75x55 , I changed the surface to 800. Out the box it was speed sensitive for me, if it saw oil it squirted, and if I moved right it over reacted.

    Exactly as advertised!

    I love the original Dark Side but sometimes it just doesn't handle the fresh condition well enough and I need something earlier and a bit stronger. The Dark Side Curse is perfect! It reads the middle part of the lane really well, picks up exactly where I need it to and doesn't go completely sideways off the back of the pattern. It is 100% exactly what DV8 said it be and I LOVE IT. I used it last night in league and kept it at box finish. I think I'll hit it lightly with a 2000 pad to get the compound off and it will be perfect!
