KEY SELLING POINTS
• The Trident Quest by Motiv® is the
culmination of extensive cover stock
research conducted to create a violent
and angular response to friction. Perfectly tuned for medium-heavy oil conditions, the
asymmetric pearl Trident Quest is a remarkably aggressive ball.
• The asymmetric Turbulent™ weight block is at the center of the Trident Quest. While other
weight blocks were tested, this Turbulentâ„¢ design proves to be the most versatile with drillings
and demonstrates impressive agility at the backend of the lane.
• But what really sets the new Trident Quest performance apart is new Hexion™ Reactive cover
stock. It represents the latest technology from Motiv®. This fast response skid-flip shell slips
easily through the front of the lane to deliver an incredibly violent backend snap.
• The Trident Quest is tuned at the factory for medium-heavy oil with a 5000 Grit LSP finish, but
the dark purple and blue pearl cover can easily be scuffed to provide traction in heavier volumes

Not gonna lie. I want that
-
An asymmetrical pearl from Motiv? One that's intended to have it's strength on the backend and not sanded like the original Jackal? Hmm... This could be pretty interesting.
-
Sounds like it could replace the Remix. I sure hope so.

That was my first thought, but then I see the promotional language say medium-heavy. That's no top row, but then again I don't recall seeing an asym in anything but the top row. Will be interesting to see how this all shakes out

If I remember correctly, the Cruel C51 LE was a medium heavy pearl asym.

Yes indeed. That was before I got into bowling. But then it occurred to me that the Raptor Attack was as well. So not unprecedented, just not recently.
Still, are they going to do their patented 'shifting of the bowling balls'; move balls one spot left. I can't see the united suddenly being the early hook ball on that row. Is it possible the Primal fear goes away? is it a good seller?

I do see a lot of Primal Fears in my area, seems to be popular.
if they list the United as anything other than delayed/angular/late, they have zero credibility. ;D
-
From what I've seen of the Primal Fears, they're not as "wow" as the Rage was. It doesn't look like it's spectacular on the lane. But are the remixes still selling well?
-
I feel like I've seen more of the United than the Primal Fear and to me there isn't a big need for the Primal Fear especially when you add the Quest.
Quest > United > Paranoia
-
I feel they are going to replace the Remix. The Fear has been selling well and the United is still one of their latest releases. Between the two I like my Primal Fear better, cleaner and more angular than the United.
I'm really excited about the Quest. I should have the ball soon for review!
-
I have had 2 United's and couldn't get comfortable with either one. Just bought a Ghost and I love it. My Forza GT may never leave my bag.
If the Trident Quest replaces the Remix, I already told my wife I am getting one.

You kind of sound like me. I've thrown a United on a couple occasions and it just isn't "it" for me. But I dig my Ghost and I love the GT. If I didn't have a Gold Revolt, I'd probably be in line for the Quest. As it is, I'll probably take my time.

Question answered.
-
Well, I guess I was half right. It's in the spot of the fear, but nothing shifted. Co-occupants of the late hook spot. Can't imagine it stays that way too long.
-
>> Co-occupants of the late hook spot.
Which I think is a stupid move on Motiv's part. but the Motiv fanboys ripped me all up and down on Facebook for saying so. I don't understand why Motiv needs two balls in that slot. Now, neither one will sell as well as it should.

I don't think so. It's not apples to apples. It's a assym vs symmetrical, different surfaces, different numbers, different core shape. They're just both angular.

You're right, but so is Kegler. I know Motiv fans that build their arsenals around filling each of those slots on the chart, and now it doesn't look like they need a new ball if they have the old one in the same slot.
I know they're different balls, you know they're different balls, but to a large section of the general public, they are now the same ball.
Still, from the perspective of a ball whore who DOES understand, I'm glad they didn't just shift one over and say that a previously angular ball is now moderate. They do that often, as well (did it lose angle when the other ball came out)?
