Additional product information:
The DV8 Heckler and Heckler Hybrid introduced a distinct option to the DV8 lineup, delivering the bold motion and performance bowlers expect from the brand. Now DV8 is expanding the line and continuing its commitment to no-thumb bowlers with the new Heckler Taunt. Built to handle oil with confidence, the Taunt features a cover that slows down quickly, creating an early, strong, forward motion that thrives in heavier oil and blended conditions. Testers noted how well it handled the puddle, providing the control and traction no-thumb players often need to keep their angles in check. With its strong midlane, and predictable continuation, the Heckler Taunt is a dependable option for no-thumb bowlers looking for a ball that reads the lane early and keeps the pocket in play.

Early, strong, but still controlled downlane
Likes: This may be the earliest hooking hybrid I've rolled from DV8. Very strong early but controlled motion downlane. I used it on a beat up house pattern and I was still able to play multiple zones. I could go straighter and I LOVED how I could get into the 4th and 5th arrows and it still recovered nicely and went straight back through the pins. It may be a hybrid but it's early like a solid. VERY different than the OG Heckler Hybrid. I'd say I'm pretty well rev-matched these days, maybe a touch rev dominant. I went with my usual 50 x 4.5 x 45 layout. My ball also tracks a little lower so I have no issue clearing the front of the lane when they get a little beat up which allowed me to stay in this longer than I expected. Probably not a ball I'd use all 3 games during league but it will be great on the fresh. Dislikes: I actually may take the cover up on this to get a little more length. I have plenty of stuff that doesn't have compound or polish so maybe take this up to 3000 or 4000 could give me more separation from my Mantra Solid.

Taunt is perfectly named
he Taunt features a cover that slows down quickly, creating an early, strong, forward motion that thrives in heavier oil and blended conditions. With the following numbers Rg 2.504 and Diff of 0.051 Asy is 0.10 this ball will surely be a winner on good volumes. My layout is 65x5.5x35 I'm a senior player I changed the surface and added 500 grit compound by hand, so I could thrown on the houses in my area, it was way too strong
