layout #1: 5 5/8 pin, 1000 surface
layout #2: 4 pin, box surface
This ball is a beast on short or dry patterns! I'm a good 8-10 boards right with this ball compared to my SX1's with similar layouts, on the THS.
Threw this on cheetah, and am really pleased with the reaction I got with both balls. It isn't as jumpy off the dry boards as the other balls in the current line-up. The long pin ball gets down the lane better and has a sharper breakpoint while the shorter pin has a smoother reaction. With the way they are now, layout #1 is stronger than layout #2 for me. It allows me to start with the #1 and when it starts being a little too strong at the breakpoint, i can switch to the #2 and all is well. This is an excellent addition to the MOTIV line and should be in everyone's bag!

the last couple shots are with a SX1 with the same 5 5/8 pin layout to show how much weaker the RECON is.
