These MOTIV® pearl reactive bowling balls below are some of the most advanced, angular pieces of equipment on the market today. Pearl balls are typically highly polished and are best suited for use on broken down oil patterns. Polished pearl cover stocks come alive when they encounter friction. If you are building a MOTIV® arsenal, please check out our Ball Guide. We’ve created it to help simply the decision making process.
The Nebula™ is the most angular MOTIV ball made to date. If you are looking for extreme angle, this is your ball. This is a ball that isn't even in the same universe! We’ve reached new heights in down-lane motion by combining two brand-new technologies: the Hadron Core and the Dark Matter Propulsion coverstock. This Cosmic Black Pearl Nebula is cleaner in the front, sharper in the back, and more explosive through the pins.
A heavy oil pearl designed for an explosive backend motion, the Apex Jackal features new patent-pending Power Band technology to maximize downlane reaction. POWER BAND Core Technology introduces a new outer band wrapped around proven core designs. That single change shifts everything. Density placement controls energy transfer. By strategically reinforcing the core with this high-impact density band, we’re able to boost torque, increase stored energy, and unleash a more violent, explosive motion down-lane. The result is unmistakable.
A medium-heavy oil pearl, the Steel Forge gives you plenty of angle on heavier oil conditions. We took the same Propulsion MXV Pearl cover found on the Evoke Hysteria and wrapped it around the Detonator core to create an explosive down-lane reaction. The Detonator core is a fast-revving, symmetrical core combines a low RG and high Differential to create unparalleled strength and speed. This core features the raw strength needed to create extreme angle, even on heavier volumes of oil.
The Max Thrill Pearl takes high friction performance to a new level! Featuring the cutting-edge Turmoil XP3 Pearl coverstock, the Max Thrill Pearl delivers a perfect balance of strength, cleanliness, and jaw-dropping angularity. You’ll see a significant upgrade to the cover found on the Top Thrill Pearl that is sure to leave you in awe!
