THis is my Motiv arsenal, waiting for that SR2, really excited about that one.

How is the TR 1 with the pin above the ring finger working for you, and what is the ball motion? I would like to know your ball speed and rev rate, because I am getting the tr 2 next week and that's how I plan on drilling it. My benchmark throw is 16.5 mph with about a 45 Digree release, and 350 Rpm rev rate. From that I can pretty much adjust every aspect of it, but that's my "A" game. I switched over to only Motiv equipment over the summer and have two tx1s, 2 gt1s, and a sx1. I'll post a pic of them soon.

Thank you,

Mike

That TR2 is really smooth at the break point when at 1000, I have tried it at 4000 and it is real skid flip, at 800 it just flat out hooks. I dont know my tilt but I am about a 450+ rev rate and stay around 19+ mph's. If 1000 hooks to early you could easily try 2000. The TR2 might be the most versatile ball, that MOTIVATOR-R cover stock is really versatile. Play around with it I am sure you will love it.

That's great Brian, I was looking for a reaction that I had in my old black widow, and from what I've seen that layout will give me what I'm looking for in the tr2. A heavy oil ball that is strong at the break point. Sounds like the SR2 will give people the reaction like the cell, smooth in the midlane with a strong overall reaction. I have to say I've been overly impressed with the motiv line. On a house shot I usualy start with the tx1 drilled leverage, untill I move in to deep, then switch to the gt1 drilled the same, and go back to my starting marks. That seems to work very well. In my PBA league I'm now averaging 10 pins higher using only Motiv, I think that speeks for it's self. The only thing I need from motiv is a spare ball with a weight block in it (Like my Lane #1 XXXL), and a weaker pearl reactive with a weak core to get the ball down the lane. When they make those it will be strike city on any oil pattern.

Thanks for the feed back Brian, That gives me what I need.
