T10 Review
Overview: In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Motiv comes the release of the limited edition T-10, featuring the high RG/high differential Thrust core (2.54/0.052 @ 15lbs.) wrapped in Coercion MFS (Medium Friction Solid) Reactive coverstock.
Bowler Info: 14.5-15 mph, 300-330 rpm; Axis Tilt: ~22; Axis Rotation: ~55; PAP: 3-7/8†x 3/4†up
Layout: 65 x 5†x 35†pin up, no hole
Review: A true benchmark piece for Motiv, with its strong core and stronger cover, the T10 is like a combination of the Forza SS and Rogue Blade. Stronger cover will get the ball reading the lane sooner, the higher RG will help retain energy so the ball will go through the pins better. At box finish, it was little cleaner than I expected, so I like to keep mine with more surface (1000-2000) to fit in my arsenal.
Comparison: T10 vs. Forza SS both at box finish
T10 will be 2-3 ft cleaner and 2-3 boards less overall hook. The biggest difference I see is when the lanes start breaking down, the T10 will retain energy better, which will allow me to keep it in my hands longer.
Final Thoughts: With its classic look, the T10 is that benchmark piece that will fit in a variety of bowlers’ bags. It fits nicely in between the Forza SS and Rogue Blade, in the sense of shape and amount of hook. T10 will be the first ball out of the bag on medium lane conditions.
