The Overload™ asymmetrical core is a unique design that exemplifies MOTIV’s commitment to innovative engineering.  It gives ball drillers the ability to control energy retention like never before.  On the Evoke solid bowling ball, which features an incredibly strong solid cover, this is vital for proper continuation.  And on the pearl Evoke Hysteria, the result is an explosive backend reaction!

Strong layouts boost RG differential, so ball drillers need to be careful using them on the already-strong solid balls that feature a high undrilled differential like the Jackal Onyx.  A strong drilling will push the maximum differential way over .060, which creates massive track flare and expends considerable energy.  While this could be a great layout for a speed-dominant bowler, rev-dominant and balanced bowlers could see lazy ball motion.  So, it’s critical that the ball driller knows the bowler’s style before drilling. 

The Overload core is different.  It’s special because it gives ball drillers more forgiveness and retains more energy naturally.  For example, while a 50°x5”x35° layout with the smaller VAL angle increases the maximum differential on a 15# Jackal Ghost by nearly 20%, the same layout on the 15# Evoke results in 12% increase.  The drilling still boosts differential, but in a more controlled manner, which enables a wider array of bowlers to take full advantage of it.  

The Overload core is also special because it is the first core MOTIV® has ever introduced that enables ball drillers to REDUCE differential with weaker layouts.  For higher rev bowlers, this creates push and maximizes energy retention.  For example, while a 45°x5.75”x65° layout with the larger VAL angle increases the 15# Jackal Ghost maximum differential by 8%, that same layout actually DECREASES a 15# Evoke differential by 6%!  This allows ball drillers to confidently put the Evoke series into the hands of higher rev bowlers.                 

Because of the new Overload core, the solid Evoke and pearl Evoke Hysteria are much more versatile than one would expect.
