Motiv Trident (http://www.motivbowling.com/products/balls/trident.html)
70 x 5 x 35 (OOB Surface)

Personal Stats:
400-450 RPM
18-20 MPH
PAP - 5 5/8" over, 1" up
Axis Tilt - Estimated 8-12 Degrees
Current League Average: 238

Intended Use:
I got a chance to throw the Trident at a trade show prior to drilling. What I saw was a LOT of hook. I went with my standard pin-up layout looking for a strong motion with a continuous shape. 

Reaction:
This ball is a monster! I picked this up at the trade show and moved 5/3 off the Forza GT. Ten back. Moved 5/3 more. Ten back. Moved again. Ten back. Moved again. Ten back. I literally ran out of room on the lane before the ball ran out of hook.

Overall:
I've gotten a chance to throw this ball on three patterns from 39 ft to 50ft now in the first two weeks I've owned it and it's very impressive. With the OOB 3000 grit surface, it provides the perfect blend of seeing the midlane and retaining energy for the back of the lane. It's a very strong, smooth solid asymmetric that will shine on higher volumes and longer lengths.
