It pairs the asymmetric Collision Core with the HK22C2 Havoc Pearl coverstock, a combination tuned for length through the front with a strong, continuous move on the backend. DV8 designed it with slightly less responsiveness than the Severe Collision, producing a smoother, rounder shape while keeping a stronger overall footprint than the Heckler Hybrid.\n\nWhere a stronger solid digs in early, the Intense Collision is built to clear the front of the lane and save its energy for the breakpoint. The asymmetric Collision core stores that energy and the HK22C2 Havoc Pearl cover lets the ball get down the lane cleanly, then the asymmetry drives a defined, continuous backend. The result is a versatile pearl that blends power and control across a variety of medium to heavy conditions.\n\nUnderstanding the DV8 Collision Core and DV8 HK22C2 Havoc Pearl Reactive\n\nDV8 built the Intense Collision for length with a strong backend on medium to heavy oil. Specifically, the asymmetric Collision Core posts a low 2.462 RG at 15 lb, a strong .052 differential, and a .019 intermediate differential (ASY), numbers that produce high flare and a defined breakpoint, while the HK22C2 Havoc Pearl cover lets the ball clear the front and respond strongly to friction. As a result, it gives you clean length with a continuous, controllable backend. The per-weight specifications are listed below.\n\nA Low-RG Asymmetric Core for Stored Energy and a Defined Breakpoint\n\nAt the heart of the Intense Collision is the asymmetric Collision Core. At 15 lb it measures a low 2.462 RG, a strong .052 differential, and a .019 intermediate differential (ASY), a combination that produces high track flare and a defined, repeatable breakpoint. The low RG gets the ball revving, while the strong differential and intermediate differential create the energy storage and flare the ball needs to make a powerful move off the friction. DV8 wraps the Collision core in DynamiCore, the outer-core technology that adds durability and a stronger, more responsive hit through the pins.\n\nBecause the core is asymmetric, it has a defined preferred spin axis, so layout has a real say in how early and how strongly the Intense Collision reads. Paired with the right drilling, the Collision core lets your pro shop tune the shape, from a rounder, more controllable arc to a sharper response down the lane.\n\nAn HK22C2 Pearl Cover Built for Length and a Strong Response\n\nThe Intense Collision wraps that core in DV8's HK22C2 Havoc Pearl Reactive coverstock at a 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair / Factory Compound finish. As a pearl, the cover is built to clear the front of the lane cleanly and store energy for the backend, so the ball saves its motion for the breakpoint rather than reading early like a solid.\n\nPaired with the low-RG Collision core, the HK22C2 Havoc Pearl gives the Intense Collision its identity: clean length through the heads with a strong, continuous response when it sees friction. Leave it at the box finish for medium to heavy oil, take the surface lower for a touch more traction on the heaviest volume, or polish it up for more length and a sharper backend as the lanes dry.\n\nIntense Collision Specs\n\nRG and differential vary by weight. Specifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Ball Is Right For\n\n✓Higher-Rev Bowlers: The asymmetric Collision core rewards revs with high flare and a strong, continuous backend\n\n✓Tournament Players: A versatile pearl asymmetric that clears the front and makes a defined, repeatable move off the friction\n\n✓Tweener Bowlers: Clean length through the heads with a smoother, rounder shape that stays controllable\n\n✓Arsenal Builders: The length-and-backend pearl that pairs with the earlier-reading Severe Collision for the heaviest oil\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Strong, aggressive motion: This is a high-flare piece built for traction. If you want a controlled, lower-hook reaction, a lower-differential ball will suit you better.\n\n·Ships polished: The 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair / Factory Compound finish runs clean and long out of the box. For an earlier read on heavier oil, take the surface down at your pro shop.\n\n·Asymmetric layout sensitivity: Layout choices shift the reaction more than on a symmetric ball. Match the pin and mass bias to your game with your pro shop.\n\n·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.\n\n·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.\n\n·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Where the Intense Collision Fits in Your DV8 Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nIn the DV8 lineup, the Intense Collision is the length-and-strong-backend pearl in the Collision line. DV8 tuned it with slightly less responsiveness than the Severe Collision, giving it a smoother, rounder shape, while it keeps a stronger overall footprint than the Heckler Hybrid. Start with the Severe Collision on the heaviest fresh oil, then move to the Intense Collision for more length and a continuous backend as the lanes transition.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe 500, 1000, 1500 Siaair / Factory Compound finish gives the Intense Collision its length-and-backend shape out of the box. Take the surface lower for more traction on the heaviest oil, or polish it up for more length as the lanes dry. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nPearl covers respond best when they are kept clean. Wiping the Intense Collision down immediately after each session and deep cleaning it periodically reduces oil absorption and keeps the clean length and strong backend consistent over the life of the ball.\n\nEarn points on every DV8 purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program.
