This ball is the newest introduction into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Chronic Paranoia features the new Agitator Solid Reactive coverstock combined with the Oblivion core. It's smooth through the front of the lane, reads the med lane for change of direction and makes a strong smooth move on the backend. Most importantly, it features the continuation that MOTIV balls are becoming known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to heavy oil. The Chronic Paranoia will become that ball you can count on when you need to blend out the pattern without the ball hydroplaning in the oil. I can clearly see this being my benchmark ball on medium to heavy oil. It does not overreact to the conditions that are in front of me. In saying that, the ball still has a more than expected amount of backends for an out of the box dull solid and seems to recover from almost anywhere.

My Chronic Paranoia is laid out is pin up (above the bridge), the cg shifted right and has an extra hole below my axis. This ball has already found a place in my bag and very often will be the first ball out. If you are looking for that benchmark ball that will blend out the pattern for you, with awesome continuation and hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

This ball is a brand new design into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Covert Tank is a game changer. It is a new revolutionary cover called Frixion. It is not urethane nor not reactive resin. It’s microcell Polymer. The Covert Tank created by MOTIV features the Torx weight block. This combination creates a new shape to the sport of bowling. The cover creates more continuation and better pin carry without sacrificing traction that you would see with typical urethane. While the higher differential of the core produces more track flare, which both improves backend motion and also limits oil redistribution. In all, this cover/core combination creates impressive control and outstanding continuation.

The Covert Tank will be a great fit in your bag because of it unmatched versatility. Unlike urethane that is virtually non-absorbing or reactive resin which is highly absorbent. Frixion microcell polymer absorbs oil at a fraction of the speed of reactive resin, but is still capable of absorbing oil at a very slow rate. This microscopic difference is what make the cover so unique and creates a smooth response to friction and outstanding continuation . The Covert Tank will become that ball you can count on when you need the ball blend the pattern.

I have already drilled 2 Covert Tanks. 1 is laid out pin up, about 2” above and to the right of my ring finger, the cg is basically in my palm, with no extra hole, making this about a 3” pin to PAP for me. The other is pin down, below my ringer finger and the cg shifted right. I can’t believe the difference in these 2 balls. The pin down has almost no flare, similar to modern urethane, but with smooth continuation on the backend. The pin up ball flares a good 4 or 5 inches, making a much stronger, but still smooth and continuous move on the backend. This motion reminds me of old school urethane, when we used to bowl on much shorter and lighter volume patterns. Both balls have already found a place in my bag, being a lower rev player it feels like I have taken away the advantage that high rev player can create using urethane. The Covert Tank has the continuation of resin, combined with the smooth reaction of urethane and drives through the pins like nothing I’ve seen. If you are looking for that go to ball that will smooth out the pattern, not hook at your toes, provides control, has continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

This ball is a brand new design into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Forge is the strongest symmetrical ball ever created by MOTIV and features the brand new Detonator weight block in combination with one of the strongest covers ever developed by MOTIV, the Coercion HFS cover stock. The Detonator core provides a low RG and high differential to create easy revs and massive amounts of flare. The Reverb outer core material surrounds the Detonator core to provide explosive hitting power. The Forge is built for a smooth motion on medium-heavy oil conditions. Creating impressive control and outstanding continuation.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to heavy oil. By merging the a high differential with a low RG, the Forge creates maximum track flare providing traction in the heavy oil, a smooth response to friction, and outstanding continuation . The Forge will become that ball you can count on when you need the ball blend the pattern, store it’s energy and continue through the pin deck.

My Forge is laid out pin up (above my ring finger), the cg very slightly shifted to the right (no extra hole). This ball has already found a place in my bag and drives through the pins with easy from any angle. If you are looking for that go to ball that will smooth out the pattern, not hook at your toes, provides control, has continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Forza line of MOTIV bowling balls. The MOTIV Forza GT features the new Helix™ HR (Hybrid Reactive) cover stock combined with the Torx core . It's clean through the front of the lane, it reads the med lane for change of direction and makes a strong but controllable move on the backend. Most importantly, it features the continuation that MOTIV balls are becoming known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium oil. The Forza GT will become that benchmark ball in your bag you can count on to read the lanes and blend out patterns on the fresh, yet give you more then enough backends that you won't want to put the ball away after five frames.

My Forza GT is laid out with the pin to the right of my ring finger, the cg stacked straight up and down and an extra hole about 1" below my PAP. This ball has already found a place in my bag, it's a great ball first out of my bag. The ball gives me very readable controlled roll and blends the fresh out very nicely. The Hybird cover creates a new and exciting look in the Forza line, combining the roll of the original Forza and the backend reaction of the Redline. I believe we'll be seeing A LOT of these going down the lanes this coming league and tournament season.

This ball is the newest introduction into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Forza Redline features the Helix Pearl Reactive coverstock combined with the Torx core. It's clean through the front of the lane, makes a controllable move off the spot and has the backends you will need for down lane. And most important, it has the continuation that has come to be expected from MOTIV bowling balls.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium oil. A perfect benchmark ball.

My Redline is laid out with the pin above and to the right of the ring finger, the cg under the ring finger and has no extra hole. This ball blends out the typical over/under reaction on a house pattern and still has the recovery needed when on more competitive patterns. I can see this ball as being the first out of my bag to help gauge what I am bowling on. The versatility of this ball will make it a must have in your bag. This ball is going to get A LOT of play for me on medium oil on a variety of different shape patterns.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Forza line of MOTIV bowling balls. The MOTIV Forza SS features the new Helix HFS (High Friction Solid) Reactive cover stock combined with the ever popular Sigma core. It's smooth through the front of the lane, it reads the mid lane for change of direction and makes a strong but controllable move on the backend. Most importantly, it features the continuation that MOTIV balls are becoming known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to medium-heavy oil. The Forza SS will become that benchmark ball in your bag you can count on to read the lanes and blend out patterns on the fresh, yet give you more than enough backends that you won't want to put the ball away after five frames.

My Forza SS is laid out with the pin below my ring finger, the cg slightly shifted right and an extra hole in a down position. This ball has already found a place in my bag, it's a great ball first out of my bag. The ball gives me very readable controlled roll and blends the fresh out very nicely. The cover creates a new and exciting look in the Forza line, combining the roll of the original Forza and backend continuation that raises the bar to a whole new level. I believe we'll be seeing A LOT of these going down the lanes this coming league and tournament season.

This ball is the newest introduction into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Freestyle features the new Turmoil LFP (Low Friction Pearl) cover combined with the Recon core . It's very clean through the lane, therefore it retains it's energy and makes a great move on the backend. Most importantly, it allows a more consistent transition that reduces over/under issues on light oil.

It will be a great fit in your bag on light oil. The Freestyle will be the ball you can count on when the lane are hooking and nothing else will go down the lane. This ball will give much more then any other ball you will find at this very affordable price.

My Freestyle is laid out with the pin down (below the ring), the cg shifted right and an extra hole about 2" below my PAP. This ball has already found a place in my bag, it's a great go to ball when the lanes are just flat hooking. The ball is very useful on short oil patterns or older surfaces. If you need a ball at a great price point for short and hooking patterns this is the ball you are looking for.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Freestyle line of MOTIV bowling balls. The MOTIV Freestyle Rush features the new Agility LFP (Low Friction Pearl) Reactive cover stock combined with the Recon core (with a boost for more backend reaction). It's very clean through the lane, therefore it retains energy and makes a strong move on the backend. Most importantly, it has more angle and greater continuation than most low friction balls.

It will be a great fit in your bag on light oil. The Freestyle Rush will be the ball you can count on when the lane are hooking and nothing else will go down the lane. This ball will give much more length than any other ball you will find at this very affordable price.

My Freestyle Rush is laid out with the pin up (above the ring), the cg slightly shifted right and no extra hole. This ball has already found a place in my bag, it's a great go to ball when the lanes are hooking. The ball is very useful on short oil patterns, lanes with burned up headed and older surfaces. If you need a ball at a great price point for short and hooking patterns this is the ball you are looking for.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Jackal line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Golden Jackal features the Hexion SE reactive pearl coverstock combined with the latest Predator V3 asymmetric core. This core provides massive track flare potential and hooking power, when in combined with this cover, you get length through the front of the lane, enough strength to not miss the midlane and impressive backend reaction.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to heavy oil. I have the used Golden Jackal on high to medium volume sports patterns, as well as on your typical house shots. It's strong and continuous enough to handle the sports patterns and recovers on a house pattern from almost anywhere on the lane. The very low RG makes it easier to rev, making it more forgiving on heavy oil patterns than higher RG balls that may slip past your breakpoint.

My Golden Jackal is laid out with the pin my in ringer finger, CG shifted right and no extra hole down. Since this ball's release it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This ball allows me to open my angles when the heads start to go and I still need that strong ball down lane. It is definitely the big pearl ball I’ve been looking for. I have found it too be very versatile, have the ability to generate powerful angles in high volume environments and be continuous beyond belief. MOTIV has hit another Home Run out of the park..

This ball is the newest introduction into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Hydra features the combination of the incredibly clean and angular Hexion cover system combined with the high RG/low differential Halogen core which results in easy length with impressive backend motion. It's very clean through the front of the lane, yet doesn’t hydroplane on oil and has a ridiculously fast backend response. Most importantly, it features the continuation through the pins that MOTIV balls are becoming known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to light oil. The Hydra will become that ball you can count on when you need to go away from the pocket and have no fear that it will recovery giving you the angularity and continuation you need to go through the pins.

My Hydra is laid out pin up (to the right of my ring finger), the cg in the palm and no extra hole. This ball has already found a place in my bag and drives through the pins with easy from an insane angle. If you are looking for a ball with crazy backend reaction, continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Jackal line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Jackal Carnage features the Coercion XFS Reactive coverstock combined with the Predator core. It's strong in the front of the lane, but yet is clean and smooth enough through it that the ball does not burn up. It reads the med lane for change of direction and yet somehow retains it's energy for the most continuation that I've ever seen from a BIG ball.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to heavy oil. I have the used Carnage on everything from high to medium volume sports patterns, as well as on your typical house shots. It’s strong and continuous enough to handle the sports patterns and blends out the house patterns like nothing I've ever thrown.

I already have two Jackal Carnages (and I see many more in my future). One is laid out pin down with and extra hole down, for a smoother reaction. The other is pin up (above the ring finger), the cg basically stacked (just a slight shift right) and has no extra hole, for more energy down lane. Since this ball's release it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Again, for BIG ball I have found it to be more versatile and continuous then I could have ever imagined.

My Octane Burn is laid out with the pin above the ring fingers (close to the center line), the cg basically stacked (just a slight shift right) and has no extra hole. This ball is not afraid to be thrown right and have plenty of backends to recover. I can see this being my go to ball on the burn when opening the lane up becomes required.

This ball is the newest urethane introduction into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Rebel Tank features the new DMX Pearl Urethane coverstock combined with the Halogen core. It's clean through the front of the lane, makes a predictable move off the spot and stores energy for down lane movement. And most important, it has the more continuation than any urethane ball I have ever thrown.

It will be a great fit in your bag on light/short oil patterns.

My Rebel Tank is laid out with the pin above the ring finger, the cg kicked slightly to the right and has extra hole just below my PAP. Most urethane balls I have seen tend to roll early and burn up. The Rebel Tank is NOT like most urethane ball. It clears the front, even on very dry lanes, and saves energy for more down lane movement then you get out of your normal urethane ball. This ball is going to get A LOT of play for me on short oil patterns.

It's reads the front of the lane, makes a strong move in the mid-lane that creates an arching motion, yet stores more than enough energy to be the most continuous early rolling ball that I have every thrown. This is a ball motion that seemed impossible, until now!!

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to heavy oil. The roll and continuation you’ve been looking for.

My Havoc is laid out with the pin above the fingers, just to the right of center, the cg slightly kicked right and has extra hole below my axis. Plain and simple this ball rolls through the oil, without hydroplaning. It gives me an arching and continuous shape that I’ve never seen before. I can see this ball as being the first out of my bag on any long oil pattern and having enough recovery to allow me to move left and open the lane on medium oil. This ball is going to get A LOT of play for me on medium to heavy oil, on a variety of different shape patterns.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Revolt line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Revolt Vengeance features a new hybrid coverstock combined with the Vanquish core. It's cleaner through the front of the lane, strong in the mid lane and more backends then the Covert Revolt.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to heavy oil.

My Vengeance is laid out with the pin under the ring finger, a slight shift and a hole below my PAP. It is clean through the front part of the lane, makes a strong move and is very continuous through the pins. This ball is going to get A LOT of play for me on heavy oil..

This ball is the newest introduction into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Rogue Blade features the combination of the new Hexion SE (Strength Enhanced) cover stock combined with the proven Sigma core which has been a favorite amongst competitive and casual bowlers for years due to its versatility and incredible power. This masterfully combines outstanding control in the mid-lane with a powerful response down lane. Most importantly, it features the continuation through the pins that MOTIV balls are becoming known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium oil. With the merging of a moderate differential with a low RG, it provides the Rogue Blade with easy revs and outstanding control in the mid-lane. The Rogue Blade will become that ball you can count on when you need to control of the mid-lane, but are still looking for a strong backend reaction.

My Rogue Blade is laid out pin down (below my ring finger), the cg shifted to the right (no extra hole). This ball has already found a place in my bag and drives through the pins with easy from any angle. If you are looking for a ball to control the mid-lane without sacrificing backend reaction, has continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Tag line of MOTIV bowling balls. The MOTIV Tag Cannon features the new Agility SFP (Skid-Flip Pearl) reactive coverstock combined with the Halogen core. It's super clean through the front of the lane, makes an unbelievable move off the spot and has all the backends you will be looking for and then some. And let's not leave out that it goes through the pins with extreme continuation.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to light oil. When you don't think any ball will go through the heads, this ball will fly through them.

My Tag Cannon is laid out with the pin above and to the right of the ring finger, the cg under the ring finger and has no extra hole. To say it's clean through the front part of the lane would be a huge understatement, however it does not miss the mids. The move it makes is like nothing I've seen before and it's continuation through the pins is something you have to see to believe. This ball is going to get A LOT of play for me on medium to light oil.

This ball is the newest urethane introduction into the MOTIV line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Tank Rampage features the new Alchemy Urethane cover stock combined with the new Gear V2 core. It's the strongest urethane ball I’ve ever thrown. It makes a predictable move off the spot and because of the overall strength for a urethane ball it’s more versatile on a bigger variety of conditions. And most important, it has more continuation than any urethane ball I have ever thrown.

It will be a great fit in your bag on light/short oil patterns.

My Tank Rampage is laid out with the pin above the ring finger, the cg kicked slightly to the right and has extra hole just below my PAP. The Tank Rampage is NOT like most urethane balls. It read the front, but doesn’t seem to burn up. Because of its overall hook potential makes a move and is continuous through the pin deck. This ball is going to get A LOT of play for me on short oil patterns.

This ball is the newest introduction into the MOTIV line made for lighter oil conditions. The MOTIV Thrill features the new Agility XP (Striking Precision) reactive pearl cover stock combined with the new Flux core. It has a higher RG to delay ball reaction and create length needed on light oil patterns. It's very clean through the lane, therefore it retains energy and makes a strong move on the backend. It has very low differential to minimize track flare and provide ball motion control at the back end of the lane and as usually has the great continuation that MOTIV balls have become known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on light oil. The Thrill will be the ball you can count on when the lane are hooking and nothing else will go down the lane. This ball will give you much more length and control than any other ball you will find at this very affordable price.

My Thrill is laid out with the pin up (above the ring), the cg slightly shifted right and no extra hole. This ball has already found a place in my bag, it's a great go to ball when the lanes are hooking. The ball is very useful on short oil patterns, on lanes with burned up headed and on older surfaces. If you need a ball at a great price point for short patterns or hooking lanes this is the ball you are looking for.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Trident line of MOTIV bowling balls. The MOTIV Trident Abyss features the combination of the Coercion HV3 cover stock and the Turbulent asymmetric core. This is the strongest ball ever made by MOTIV and is built to dominate in a flood of oil. Most importantly, it features the continuation through the pins that MOTIV balls are becoming known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on heavy oil. With the merging of a high differential with a low RG, the Trident Abyss creates maximum track flare to make the turn in deep oil. The Trident Abyss will become that ball you can count on when you need the ball to dig on heavy volume patterns. When I was told how much this balls hooks, I was honestly worried that it would burn up. To my excited surprise, it never even thinks about it. I have never seen such a big ball continue through the pins anything like this special ball does.

My Trident Abyss is laid out pin down (below my bridge), the cg shifted to the right (no extra hole). This ball has already found a place in my bag and drives through the pins with easy from any angle. If you are looking for a ball that will hook on anything, provides control, does not sacrifice backend reaction, has continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Revolt line of bowling balls. The MOTIV United Revolt features the Helix HFP Reactive coverstock combined with the Vanquish core. It's clean through the front of the lane, reads the mid-lane and makes a strong continuous arching motion through the pins, It’s the pearlized ball I’ve been looking for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium oil. It’s a pearl ball that clears the fronts, yet doesn’t miss the mid-lane. It’s strong off the spot, but yet not too angular and has the continuation through the pins that MOTIV balls are known for.

My United is laid out with the pin above the fingers, just to the right of center, the CG slightly kicked right and has extra hole in my axis. Plain and simple this ball gives me a shape that I haven’t seen in a pearlized ball. It gives me an arching and continuous shape you would usually only find in a solid, combined with the clean fronts that pearl balls are known to have. Seems like a GREAT combination to me. This ball is going to get A LOT of play for me on medium oil, on a variety of different shape patterns.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Venom line of MOTIV bowling balls. The MOTIV Venom Cobra features the new Sabotage Hybrid Reactive coverstock combined with the new Top Gear dual-density weight block . It's very clean through the front of the lane, It reads the med lane for change of direction and makes a strong move on the backend. Most importantly, it features the continuation that MOTIV balls are becoming known for..

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to light oil. The Venom Cobra will become that ball you can count on when you need the ball to clear the front of the lane, but yet not hydroplane if it hits oil. It will make a strong change of direction, but not go sideways on the backend and best of all is the continuation you get as the ball goes through the pins.

My Venom Cobra is laid out with the pin down (below the ring), the cg shifted right and an extra hole about 2" below my PAP. This ball has already found a place in my bag, it's a great go to ball when the lanes begin to dry up. The ball drives through the pins with power that has come to be expected by balls in the Venom Line. If you are looking for a ball with strong backend reaction, continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

This ball is the newest introduction into the Villain line of MOTIV bowling balls. The MOTIV Villain Scorn features the combination of the Hexion SE (strength enhanced) Reactive cover stock and the Sinister asymmetric core. This ball offers the versatility of the original Villain, with that extra pop down lane we’re all always looking for. Most importantly, it features the continuation through the pins that MOTIV balls are becoming known for.

It will be a great fit in your bag on medium oil. The Villain Scorn will become that ball you can count on when the fronts start to go and you need to open up the lane a little. The Villain Scorn will provide great length with a fast and deliberate response to the friction at the backend of the lane. This ball features enhanced motion, due to it’s higher differential that yields massive track flare.

My Villain Scorn is laid out pin down (below my bridge), the cg shifted to the right (no extra hole). This ball has already found a place in my bag and drives through the pins with easy from what seems like any angle. If you are looking for a ball to retain energy, will make the corner with you open up your angles, has continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.
