The C51-Cruel is the newest entry in the MOTIV
line-up,and the first asymmetric ball from MOTIV.
The all new C51 :Cruel core offers a 2.,48 rg,and a .060
differential with a .030 mass bias differential.
Covering the core is a all new coverstock the Formula 5
reactive hybrid,the first ever hybrid cover from MOTIV.
The color is black/smoke with blood red graphics with
white lettering.The colors are visually eye pleasing.
The cover comes OOB at 2000 wet sanded.
The intent of the C51 is for medium to heavy oil.
The benefits of a asymmetrical core
The asymmetrical core will give you a shorter transition.The
Cruel core allows the ball to get into a roll quicker and easier.
The asymmetrical core of the Cruel is great for lane conditions
that has slicker midlanes.
Medium and lower rev players will love this ball when the
area past the midlane point is not reacting enough.
Higher rev players can use the Cruel for control on the back end
where there is a little more friction in the midlanes.
The C51 goes into a roll quicker,and will not break as hard
and sharp through the pin area.This offers control when needed
for higher rev players.
What I got from the Cruel was a ball that revs up early and hard in the midlanes ,but cleared the heads
easily because of the hybrid cover.I got about 5" of flare
from both drillings.The Cruel was at it's best from the mids
to the pins.It had a very quick response when it come in contact
with dry at the backend of the patterns.The length was very
nice from such a powerful core.The reaction and the ball shape
at the backend of the pattern was very heavy and angular.
The recovery down lane was very impressive,the amount
of area the Cruel creates will allow you to miss right,and
still have enough energy left to make it back to the pocket.
The Cruel let me play a more angular line to the pocket.I
could more further left and still have enough energy left
to make it back to the pocket.For me this is a very welcome sight.
The Cruel ate up the R/W/B patterns.On the house shot,
just hit the pocket and carry was far and above anything
I have seen in a long time.
For those of you that have tried MOTIV ,you will really
be impressed with the Cruel.For those that have been
waiting for a ball of this type.Well now is the time to try MOTIV.
