Title: Cruel
Post by: Matt Fortney on June 09, 2010, 09:56:57 AM

Got an e-mail from Motiv, and it might be old news to you guys, but there was information on the new "Cruel C51." Didn't see a post about it yet, so I figured I'd post it...sorry if it's already been discussed....

CRUELâ„¢ C51:  In August, on Friday the 13th, the new Cruelâ„¢ C51 asymmetric from MOTIV will be unleashed.  We just received USBC approval last week.  It has a 2.48 RG, .060 Diff, .030 MB Diff, new Cruelâ„¢ core, new Formula-5â„¢ Reactive Hybrid cover, and a high impact NeoMark graphic like you've never seen on a high performance ball before.  This ball has it all.  It's a Cruel world!  Get MOTIVated!

I have seen it and can honestly say that the Cruel (because of the logos) is THE best looking bowling ball I have ever seen in my life.  I absolutely love the look of this ball.  I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say much more.  The hybrid shell is sharp.

I think it's going to be a while until we get the pics.  Logos are CRAZY!

As in, It's a Cruel MOTIV.
Looking forward to this release.It should help take MOTIV to the next level.

And what about the ball motion? Smooth or flippy? With a high differential like that I'm guessing it will have alot of movement in the backend. Would like to see a pic of it, too.

Well, the core specifications are very similar to the Rising core.  Also, the RG and Diff are quite similar to the Black Widow, but obviously there is a much larger intermediate differential.  

The shell is new, so it's hard to say.  Based on Motiv history, the shell will probably want to roll a bit.  I expect it to be much flippier than anything yet, but not sideways because of the shell.

Just my educated guess.
