I was looking to get a DV888 - but the only color is grey (not that the aqua or red were all that, either) - so it was suggested to wait for the 2012 model (rumor has it there might be a splash design)… does anyone know a release date? Or about the time they do it (early in the year, a particular season, etc).

For those who have more then one years model, how much of a difference is there (shape, weight, bearing)? Or is it just colors?

Thanks

I believe that there were some SPLASH colors made before but they’re pretty rare

Black is a great choice for solid. I’ve got the prepro (?) and it’s a beaut.

I had found on eBay for like $30 grey/black practically mint and then used it so much it got beat. I recently sold it on eBay for $28 I think I got my money’s worth
