New to Motiv - what to get?!?!
« on: December 16, 2015, 04:05:39 PM »
Hi all,

Want to give Motiv a shot as they have been making big waves on the tour. Heard a lot of good about their products.

I am looking for a ball to use in league. I currently throw a Hyroad around 2nd arrow out to about 6-7 or the Storm Spit Fire a little deeper around 3rd arrow out to about 5-6. I want something in that area that won't jump too hard on the backend. The Hyroad can leave a lot of flat 10's and the Spit Fire can be too strong off the pattern.

What is everyone's recommendations for a Motiv ball that will fit the bill? I was looking at the Forza Redline.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thank you!!

I agree, I'd probably stick around 4-4.25 for the Pin-PAP

Keep it simple with the angles, like 50/60 x 40/30 that way if necessary you could have multiple options for weight hole placements to fine tune the reaction

rico it!  My tag with a 5 1/2" from pap is not jumpy for me. I tried my buddies rico'd shock and was very impressed.

I would let your pro shop determine the proper drilling.  I realize you gave where you like to play and I am sure what has been suggested would be okay (after all, it is THS).  But your equipment is getting long in the tooth and it is impossible to know where you would have to play with new equipment.
