Motiv VIP
« on: September 01, 2020, 02:13:23 PM »
Found some information out there on a supplier website, bringing back the Quad fire core which was last used with the Octane series I believe

"To develop the debut pearl edition, we have been working
closely with EJ Tackett to create a special bowling ball that stands apart in
our product line.  For the VIPâ„¢ we are bringing back with one of EJ’s
favorite MOTIV® cores to create angle down lane – the Quadfireâ„¢.  It is
merged with our latest cover technology to create a medium oil pearl that
delivers outstanding length and a very angular backend motion.  Because
this pearl VIPâ„¢ is being developed alongside EJ Tackett it will also bear his
ExJ brand logo."

Is this the same core from the QZ1?

Sure is!

Only 500 made. I don't even see it on Motiv's ball guide.

Mine is on the way. Probably won't drill it for a while though

MJS - that’s incorrect. 3500 were made and 1000 went overseas alone. So 2500 stateside. Bowlerx.com had 360+ pre orders alone.

I suspected BowlersMart was fibbing when they claimed "Only 500 will be made".

It didn't stop me from buying one though.

Yeah Bowlersmart's website initailly said "500 or so" and that has now been changed to say "limited release".  Got mine and the swag from bowlerx but I don't think I'm going to drill it.

The VIP from Motiv is the first ball in collaboration with EJ Tackett and boy is it a special piece. I'm trying to recommend this piece to everyone that is looking for a cleaner ball that can be used towards the end of league or a tournament. This ball features one of our cleanest, and responsive covers which is the infusion pearl reactive cover which really clears the front, and really kicks down lane. For people that loved the Octane, this ball features the same core as the Octane but with an updated cover. I drilled my VIP with a 4 inch pin to my PAP and a 70 degree VAL angle which ended up putting the pin under my ring finger. Despite the stronger pin, this ball easily gets down the lane and still recovers from anywhere. This ball is great when you have to move left at the end of a tournament and get your ball down the lane and still flip hard enough to get the corners out. What's also amazing is that this cover takes to surface adjustments great! So if your VIP is going too long, don't be afraid to take an abralon pad to it. Get your hands on this special limited edition piece before it's gone!
