With the coverstock from the "urethane-like" (Ha-ha!!!) SX-1 and TX-1, what else could it be?

It states the reaction is like a urethane ball.
Kinda looks like the old Columbia Pirhanna.

People have said the SX-1 had a urethane-like reaction. I didn't see that. The covers just absorb less than traditional resin but still absorb. They absorb faster than urethane, though. At one point in time urethane's absorption rate was 1/20th of resin's rate and resins absorb MUCH faster now.
The Motivator-X coverstock is first, last and always resin. Never forget that, no matter how much the ball reaction MAY look urethane-like to your release.

The Recon can offer a super controllable resin and that is something else entirely. The dry lane resins from the Ebonite brands are all too strong or too flippy if not both. A weak resin shell with a tall, low diff. core should provide a unique look and fill a hole in the market.
My plan is to get my hands on one and put the pin on the PAP.

This is an exciting release. I think it's important that it is resin. There are too many companies in the niche market with the urethane. Brunswick has the new Urethane Avalanche and Roto is coming out with the Grenade. T

Hey, if you're lucky, it will compare well with the Brunswick Slingshot. It's just barely a step above the Avalanche urethane.

Oddly, the 12 and 13 lb balls have the largest differential with almost the same RG. Fascinating.

The first few shots are with a tx1 box surface with a rico drill to use as a gage for the next two balls thrown.
Next are 2 of the new RECON RX1. The first has a 5 3/8 pin, which puts the pin 1 1/2 in above my middle finger. The next has a 4 in pin which is above and slightly to the right of my ring finger.
If you notice the first set of shots with the long pin RECON, it stores more energy and pops more on the backend. Notice the first couple shots where I'm able to get away with some missed shots left and right.
The 2nd RECON is smoother and more controlable off the friction. Both are in box finish in this video. I'll lay down cheetah in the next couple days and shoot some video of the RECONs on that.

This is a dry lane/short oil ball. The lanes I was bowling on was a broken down league shot, but by no means toasted. I can generate a lot of revs, and can make weaker balls hook more than others.
This ball is weaker than the rest of the current motiv line-up. It gets down the lane well (because of the X coverstock). The difference is in the core. The core allows this ball to be more controled and smooth at the break point and overall a little weaker than the tx1 and sx1. Anyone looking for a good dry lane ball would be wise to check this ball out. And it stands out on the ball rack also
