DV8 cover list looks like a list of game engines from 2008. "Is it going to use Havoc engine?" "Yeah dude, every object in the map will be destructable."

Once my Combat Hybrid woke up (sanded to 1500), it really became quick off the spot. However, it's also a corner pin king.

Just picked up a combat hybrid for $90 shipped plus tax, thought it was too good a deal to pass up especially because I wanted a new game 1 ball. Put 45x4.5x45 on it just wanted it benchmark layout since we're in league season now and if I go to any sport shot events I can smash with some surface and give it some more forward to try and make it work. Thrown it 1 league night so far and really liked it. Series wasn't the best but I have a finger injury so not judging the ball on that because when I threw it good it was beautiful. Started game 1 with it and first 3 frames of game 2, finished game 2 with a hammer effect and threw the combat again in the fill and threw it last game making an adjustment and liked the shape I was getting. I'm happy with it for sure.

Immensely helpful. Ranking is great, but looking forward to the day that manufacturers provide standardized friction on oil and friction on dry measurements across brands. In the meantime, kudos for assembling this info, and for those manufacturers (ex: 900 Global, Hammer) that include numeric ratings of their coverstocks.
