Be interesting, i've never found that Sigma core to like really strong covers, but that Ghost is really good (which is why they still make it).

Would think it'd fill a similar spot to the Forge, some ball comparisons will be interesting.

Yeah Motiv is there. I'm not sure if anyone besides Roto Grip/Storm has made official announcements yet.

Normally you see videos and such, all the other brands have done something like that. But I have not seen anything from Motiv..

There's no doubt that Motiv missed Justin Wyman, videos haven't been quite as good or on time since he left.

I know part of it is also strategy of trying to not steal the thunder of the latest release with one that's coming later down the road, but it's like the elephant in the room, everyone knows it's there, might as well toss it on the website and social media.

The ball releases in over 2 months. You will not see much material on it right now due to the Covert having released 2 weeks ago and the Ripcord coming in a few more weeks. I am honestly surprised they announced the Assassin this early. Remember, 1 ball every 45 or so days. Not 4 balls, released at 1 time, every 3 months.

My opinion, this will be stronger than the Forge on the lanes, but not on paper. This may be Motiv's answer to the Phaze 2/Idol. More than proven cover on a more than proven core.

We really need a new hybrid ball with the Torx weight block if you ask me. They dropped the Forza GT way to early. I still love mine.

Understood. I like how Motiv releases balls. I was mostly wondering about Expo and them not having much content about what they do have at the moment.

Might pick up a couple of Motivs this year, I really like my Villian shot 2 300's with it. My only highlights of what turned out to be a horrible year otherwise.
