Good video.  The way you throw the ball makes it really easy to read what the ball is doing and where it's doing it, this vid will give everyone a REALLY good idea of what to expect out of the ball.  It looks like you're bowling on quite a bit of oil though, so I would think people will see even more backend than what you're seeing.  Nice!
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

I've had mine for about a week now, great ball.  One question does yours have a smell too?  Mine does and it's not great

I don't have mine yet not until fall leagues start but I assume it has that Whiplash cover kind of smell?

I just got mine. Yea, the smell is similar to the cover on the Thrash Frenzy. Personally, I don't find smell offensive. It's almost pleasant.  :)


I was able to throw 5 THS practice games with my PR today. Definitely more backend than any Motiv ball to date. I threw the PR side-by-side with a Storm IQ Pearl drilled identically, and I was seeing more length, a sharper backend, and an additional 3-4 boards covered. The coverstock also seemed to handle the wet dry transition a little cleaner. They'll both have their place, but not as much overlap as I expected.


I think this ball is going to shine on longer sport patterns. I'm looking forward to that test.

MOTIV balls tend to have a little bit of a distinct smell, but it's not a bad smell.

I have drilled several of them and all have looked really good so far. Going to be a ball everyone should have in the bag, not condition speciffic.
