To all who have posted in this thread,
StickZ and I have talked. I think we now agree on most, if not all, of what was going on here.
Without a doubt, Motiv makes some of the best balls around and has some of the best balance in what their balls do. If i didn't already have a wide spread of types and brands of balls, I'd love to have more Motivs in my collection. Scott and I have been talking about their balls for many weeks now in private emails. The Thrash, Backdraft and Sigma Hybrid are boring holes in my bowling brain to get them and use them. My Recon is Already almost always in my bag at the lanes. He is almost ready to unveil a new total Motiv arsenal.
As much as many Motiv staffers would like to get as many people to see and use Motiv balls as possible, they should post their experiences with them and do real reviews that people can use to make judgments about buying new balls. That is one of the essences of this web site: real reviews by real people, making true bowling knowledge available to all readers of this Ballreviews.
I'd like to thank you for your support and the very kind words.
