Team MOTIV is on FIRE

We’ve come out swinging in the 2025 PBA season, making EVERY. SINGLE. SHOW. The ONLY manufacturer to make every single show so far.  And we’re not just showing up—we’re winning. Three titles in four events and taking home the only major so far.

EJ Tackett: Still Dominating. Still Unstoppable.

If you thought the back to back player of the year was slowing down, think again.

After two tough rounds at the US Open, EJ was buried at -44.  But that didn’t stop him.  EJ flipped the switch and went nuclear, clawing his way to +241 to make match play.  There, EJ went into beast mode to qualify for the show in P2.  He went on to DOMINATE the show, winning his first match 245-152 and he closed the final 238-184. Another major in the books.

Two weeks later, he wasn’t done. He ran the table in qualifying, leading every single round of qualifying at the PBA Missouri Classic and sealed his SECOND title of the season and 25th PBA Title!

Santtu Tahvanainen is Back (And He’s Making Up for Lost Time)

Remember Santtu? 2023 PBA Rookie of the Year? He missed ALL of 2024 with a knee injury. Most would come back rusty. Not him.  Santtu goes straight to the top at the PBA Illinois Classic. Earns the #1 seed. Wins his first PBA title. Like he never left.

The Future of MOTIV is Here—And They’re Coming for More

Let’s talk about the next wave. 18-year-old phenom Landin Jordan just made his first PBA show at the U.S. Open. This kid is built different. He’s got the game, the mindset, and he’s hungry. Watch for him at the World Series of Bowling—because he’s not here to just “get experience.” He’s here to win.

Don’t sleep on Michael Davidson. He fought through the PTQ at the PBA Delaware Classic, went on a monster run, and made the show alongside AJ Johnson. The MOTIV roster is stacked, and these guys are proving it every week.

The bottom line is that we’re making every show. We’re winning titles. Team MOTIV is now the PBA Elite League leaders by 7k points.  And we’re not even close to being done.
