    My first love!

    This was my first ever hook ball and I love her so much! They say it’s entry level but the way this ball packs a punch is great. Even when I go brooklyn the carry on this is amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better ball. I love Motiv products and can’t wait to purchase another that will elevate my game!

    I would recommend this to a friend

    They say you should start with this ball when you are new to bowling. I did the opposite. I started to learn how to bowl with a Jackal EXJ. I recently got a Motiv Ascend and it is a total sleeper ball. It has a lot of backend power for an entry level ball!
