Title: Got my first taste of Motiv
Post by: SVstar34 on July 08, 2014, 11:08:09 AM
Well I got my first taste of Motiv last night and I can see how they've become so popular. After our scratch league a few of us were throwing each other's stuff since we have similar hand size and 1 guy brought out his Cruel LE and told me to throw it and if I liked it to take it since he needed to get rid of some balls.

Wow the Cruel LE is good. The pin is drilled out in the ring finger and everything else kicked which puts the layout about 50 x 4 x 40 for me and a good size p3 hole. It was fun watching the ball turn over and not stop. Carry is definitely way above average, pins were going everywhere and staying low. The ball didn't even fit my hand right because I could barely get my thumb in, but it has me sold on Motiv

I think my next purchase will definitely be a Motiv. I'm looking at the Ascent Apex for short stuff and I'll either do the Shock or Revolt since the Cruel LE for me is pretty angular

I also made the switch to Motiv at the end of last season and I am convinced that they have got some of the best equipment out there.  Their current line up of entry level, mid-level and premium balls is as complete as any of the major players e.g, Storm/Roto, Hammer, etc and i have seen some excellent ball reaction and results during my summer league.  I am currently throwing the Primal Rage and Covert Revolt and I'm blown away by the way these balls read the lane.  The added bonus is that making adjustments has become much simpler and the pin carry has been superb.  I plan to add the Ascent Apex and the Octane to round out my arsenal for fall/winter 2014/2015.

I made the switch recently to Motiv and have to say they definitely make great equipment  Currently, I have the Covert Revolt and Sigma Sting, and both compliment each other very well.

If you were that impressed by the LE, the new stuff will make you scream like a 13 year old girl. Lol. Seriously. It was good then, it's 10x better now.

I will be giving Motiv a try at the end of our summer have-a-ball league.  Decided to go with a Motiv Octane.  Excited about giving their stuff a go.

I too, switched to Motiv this past December and haven't regretted it a single moment. I have the Primal Scream and Thrash Frenzy and love both balls. One of the best 2 ball combinations that I have ever had

I am still throwing the GT1 and Cruel religiously. I have a Ascent pearl(the original) qz1 red, original sniper, and a primal scream (it's way too strong to throw anywhere)
