Paranoia

5.0Read Reviews

People should be nervous when you pull this ball out of your bag.   Featuring a brand new core and cover system, the Paranoia™ is the next step in MOTIV® evolution.  It provides a strong and consistent motion down lane with insane angle and unbelievable continuation through the pins.

While many angular pearl bowling balls are difficult to control, the NEW Agitator™ reactive cover stock blends the wet/dry, but still retains enough energy to produce angle down lane.  It allows the Paranoia to start that initial move a touch earlier so bowlers can be firm and confident with their shot.  

The Purple Paranoia will compliment many balls in the MOTIV product line.  It will provide more total hook than the Venom Shock and Octane Burn while still providing more angle down lane.  The Paranoia will also give more length and angle than the Forza or the Forza Redline without sacrificing over all hook.

    First Motiv I used

    Won this at state tournament, first Motiv ball for me and it made a huge difference in my game. Rolls smooth and has a nice finish. My average went up over 20 pins.

    Best ball for dry lanes

    I am a high revs & high speed bowler. Once the lanes start getting dry or when bowling in a center where the backend is really aggressive, this ball just SAVES me. It has incredible length and retains a lot of power. It just never dies. It has become my MUST HAVE in the bag for any tournament.

    I almost quit

    Well this year has been a real test for me I hurt my back and had numbness in the right leg, I tried to bowl but really struggled with the injury. After a few injections my leg was starting to comeback and I thought I buy the Paranoia. Since Mid-December my league average was 157 and I was thinking of hanging it up. With the back and leg healing and the Paranoia doing it thing I raised my average 19 pins to a bit more respectable 176 and rejuvenating my desire to continue bowling. The Paranoia has really helped it has been great as I am carrying a lot more strikes and shows I can still throw. The Season ends tonight and I can't wait till; the fall to start up again.
