Motive  TZ3: anyone know, or have any info on this ball? Purplish, blueish colored ball.

I recently got one of these. I have it drilled to go long and finish strong and that's exactly what it does for me. As with any polished pearl it can be a little squirty. As with any Motiv ball, it looks pretty cool going down the lane.

I got to see one of these in action on a transitioning light oil shot. It was very impressive! Held line way longer than I expected and the carry was above average, even on pulled shots.

Does anyone know of someone that has a 15# TZ3 in good shape or NIB they'd be willing to part with?  Local Motiv staffer can't find one...

I've been using my TZ3 at this house with a lighter-med. 41 ft. oil house shot and it's been amazing since I got it. Current average of 229. My first series out of the box last season with it was 814. I probably have 100+ games on mine and it's still just as good as when I got it. I wish Motiv would/could make something similar so everyone could enjoy this ball. It's reaction is not a typical skid/snap but it carries at a lot of different angles, light hits send pins flying and flush hits split the 8-9 in half.
I have another 15lb. NIB saved in my closet when this one finally wears out.
I paid big money to get it from a guy in Canada, so it would take a big offer to part with it. Good luck with the search, if I see one I'll let you know. Use the Motiv Bowling Forum and put it out there that your looking, that's how I found both of mine.
