Have PRIDE in your new benchmark
Motiv has absolutely nailed it with the new Motiv Pride release, the cover/core combination is absolute money. The pride to this point hasn’t left my bag, whether it’s league night or I’m heading to a tournament. The look this ball gives you is something completely different then I have seen from Motiv before. I’ve been able to use this ball on a variety of different shots to this point, just has that consistent and predictable reaction you want, so easy to trust this piece out of your hand. As always she packs a huge punch at the pin deck leaving nothing behind. This ball absolutely should be in your bag, won’t be disappointed. Yet another awesome job by Motiv adding another piece to the ball chart. Go get your Motiv Pride today.

These are very high accolades for sure.

I have not thrown this ball but I have seen others throw it. It is extremely smooth and consistent. That makes it a benchmark ball for sure. it's quite a bit different from the look of most other Motiv balls.

I might actually look into getting one.

I struggle with some of the text reviews from people, always just comes off as marketing.

My real world experiences with the Pride are it slots between the Ghost and Shock in strength, while being a little earlier than both of them. I have a pin down Pride that just blends the whole lane out and is great on flatter patterns. My pin up Pride hooks quite a bit more than I'd have expected after I threw my pin down one for a while, so I shined it up a bit and it's a really good China ball when my Enzo isn't enough on the fresh.

I've been pretty impressed with the pride as it definitely fit in the middle of the bag for me where i've had a void. The Ghost and high end balls have been great for a long time, the Shock is still around for a reason, but the solid Ripcord, and the other balls they've had in the middle of the ball chart just haven't been all that memorable to me. We've drilled a few prides and are starting to get more customers asking about them, which is a good sign.

Couple real brief videos, first one is the pin down one with a Ghost and Shock there, bowling on the house pattern the Ghost is just hard to make look good because you have to really find the puddle
