Review:

The 2Cruel is the latest high performance ball from Motiv Bowling. What can I say about this ball other than awesome. What I like about the 2Cruel is that reads the lanes well on the fresh and take off like a rocket at the break point in the dry. High rev guy would actually love this ball because they could use this ball on the fresh of a typical house shot, then as the 2nd and 3rd games comes, they can move in and the 2Cruel gets clean through the heads and still has the energy to knock down all 10 pins. For the non high rev guys, this ball would be perfect for you because of how clean the ball goes through the heads. The new 2Curel is recommend fro heavier oil patterns, yet this bowl will be a nice addition to your bag on any given league night. With the new Sinister asymmetric core has a higher RG to provide length and the Whiplash Hybrid Reactive coverstock, the new 2Cruel by motiv will dominate the fresh shot in league and in tournaments on heavier oil.

INNER CORE: Sinisterâ„¢
COVERSTOCK: Whiplashâ„¢ Hybrid Reactive

Comments:

After drilling the 2Cruel, I touched the surface with 2 minutes of 4000 polish and ball exceeded my expectations. I felt that on the fresh if gave me a nice look and being a high rev player, I felt that I could use this in league and start on a good note after the 1st game. I notice that as the heads started to get beat up, I moved in and I was amazed on how clean the 2Cruel when through the heads and still had good pop on the backend to kick out the ten pin.


I recommend the 2 Cruel for all bowlers and styles.

2 Cruel Review
INNER CORE: SINISTER
COVERSTOCK: WHIPLASH
FINISH: 4000 ABRALON
The 2Cruel has a mean backend reaction that inflicts serious damage in heavy oil.  The new Sinister asymmetric core has a higher RG to provide length, and differentials that produce strong track flare.  This weapon is then armored with a new Whiplash Hybrid Reactive cover to generate a backend reaction that is absolutely devastating.

REVIEW:
I have been able to throw the MOTIV 2 Cruel on a variety of lane conditions including house shots, WTBA Paris 47Ft (Low Volume), WTBA Tokyo 43ft, and PBA Shark 44ft.  You normally don’t think of having a lot of backend reaction higher volume or wet conditions, but the 2 Cruel delivers just THAT!  I am extremely impressed with the angles I am able to play on longer and higher volume patterns.  I have opened several  eyes of peers when they see me hooking the ball back from spots the pattern normally does not allow.  Having that extra backend has also help increase my carry on these longer patterns, those flat tens are now being chopped in half!  This new 2 Cruel is also a monster on typical house shots as well!  The 4000 grit box finish allows for easy length throw the heads which allows this ball to be thrown on a lot of different conditions.  This ball is simply a hook monster on the backend without sacrificing midlane control.  If MOTIV has not won you over yet, then this one will do that for sure!   One of the best balls I have thrown thus far.
