Get ready for the return of the Tank Rampage! Making its comeback as a pearl, the tour edition Tank Rampage Pearl is the latest development of Microcell Polymer technology. Approved for action on both the PBA National and Regional tours, this phenomenal new MCP Pearl ball sets the new standard for urethane-like dry-lane performance.

Reviving the legendary Gear V2 core exclusively seen in the original Tank Rampage, this pearl version promises even more excitement. With a lower RG (2.55 in 15lb) compared to other cores in typical urethane balls, the Gear V2 ensures a heightened stability in the mid-lane, elevating your game to new heights.

Surrounding the Gear V2 is the revolutionary Frixion M6 Microcell Polymer Pearl coverstock, a cutting-edge formulation tailored for the distinctive urethane ball motion on dry lanes. The 1000 grit finish strikes the perfect balance, delivering an aggressive yet smooth motion. For those craving extra traction and a long-lasting finish that defies lane shine, the Frixion M6 MCP Pearl cover incorporates the Duramax coverstock additive, a proven gem from Motiv Bowling's solid coverstocks.  Get ready for the Tank Rampage to go where others cannot!

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant - For bowlers who are speed dominant, the Tank Rampage Pearl will be a ball for low oil volumes, short patterns, and high friction surfaces exclusively.  Designed for dry lanes, this Tank will only be useful for speed dominant bowlers encountering very high friction environments unless they intend to use a great deal of surface.
  • Balanced Bowlers - Balanced bowlers will lean on the Tank Rampage Pearl when looking for control and their Tank Yellowjacket is either too early or too strong.  This pearl Microcell is intended to provide much easier length without being any more angular than the Yellowjacket.  The result is a weaker, but just as controllable urethane type shape.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - For rev dominant bowlers who are looking for a ball that allows them to play straighter, the Tank Rampage Pearl is the answer.  Many senior bowlers struggle to keep resin balls under control due to lower ball speed.  This Tank would be ideal for those bowlers.  Additionally, two handed bowlers and rev dominant one handers will love the ability to keep the lane in front of them with the Tank Rampage Pearl where other urethanes and microcell balls force them to hook the ball too much.

    This ball is different

    It's a good kind of different. I have always struggled playing closer to the gutter and straighter up the lane. But with this ball, I get a consistent shape on mid-oiled patterns without having to get too far over. It reads really early, but doesn't snap out of its shape. The smoothest shape I've ever encountered.

    I'm sure it has everything to do with the new mcp coverstock it has. I'm familiar with the core from the venom shock, fatal venom and tank carbide. All three have a bit of a snappier hook when entering the friction. But this maintains an incredibly predictable shape from early in the shot. And also plays very well on a very light patterns, without having to play too much of the lane.

    It's back, and better than ever!

    All the developments in Microcell Polymer has culminated in this; The triumphant return of the Tank Rampage! Now in a pearl, the Tank Rampage Pearl is hands down the best MCP ball from Motiv yet. The Gear V2 core really pairs perfectly with new cover to create motion that is closest to true urethane without any of the traditional downsides, or worries about the new urethane rules. I used to love the original Tank Rampage, and was thrilled to finally have a version back in the arsenal. I cannot stop striking with the Rampage Pearl. If you need the next level of control and performance, look no further, this is the best urethane-like bowling ball on the market today.

    Better than Urethane

    Rampage Tank is more versatile and controllable than competitors' Urethanes.
    Surprisingly able to use this ball on house and various sport patterns long or short depending on your speed and rev-rate.
    Pulled out the Rampage on house a shot w patchy carry-down, due to the non carry factor and was able to straighten out the line w/ a slight bend to go around the carry-down w/ predictability without giving up the hitting power

    Tank You Very Much!

    Motiv continues to add another great ball to the Tank line. Right away I thought this ball looked like it had too much surface but I was proven wrong. The box surface of 1000 Grit LSS fits well (could even need 500 Grit) with the smoother reaction of this ball. Overall, this Tank is a good bit less than the previously released Tank Yellowjacket. This ball is a must if you want to be a competitive bowler and need to control lighter volume and/or shorter oil patterns.

    Closest Microcell Ball to Urethane yet

    I have thrown all of the Microcell polymer ball released by Motiv so far. The Tank Rampage is by far the closest to urethane that I have seen. By far the best Microcell to resist lane shine don’t get me wrong it still does but not nearly as quick as others. Takes surface adjustment very well, make it as rough as you want to get that super early roll and smooth backend. Motiv keeps improving their Microcell Technology with each release.
