The traditional solid bowling ball is no longer good enough.  Enter the new EVOKE MAYHEM.  After the absolute domination of the Evoke Hysteria, the challenge was to build another Evoke as versatile and successful.  That meant breaking the normal rules.  Instead of starting with a solid coverstock and tweaking it, MOTIV worked backwards from the Propulsion MXV Pearl coverstock—the cover that made the Hysteria special—and asked a different question: How do we formulate this to make it hit harder, read earlier, and still keep the down-lane shape people loved?  The result was a new type of solid shell that offers a bit more length through the front of the lane with non-stop drive through the pins!

Overload™ Asymmetrical

The insanely tunable Overload™ asymmetrical core is the most versatile core in the MOTIV line.  It delivers a combination of a low RG, moderate differential, and strong intermediate differential, slotting perfectly below the Predator™ V2 and Apex Predator™ cores featured in the Jackal® series.  The Overload core lets the ball driller dramatically raise or lower the primary differential depending on layout.  That means you can control total flare in a meaningful way.

More flare when you need strength.  Less flare when you need control. That level of adjustability means more bowlers can match up with the Evoke Mayhem in even more environments!

Propulsion MXV Solid

“We spent a long time testing this one,” said Brett Spangler, MOTIV’s PBA Tour Rep. “There was a lot of pressure after the Hysteria won everything last year. The solution was working backwards from the pearl Hysteria cover, which isn’t how we usually test for solids.”  Then we added Duramax additive technology, allowing the Evoke Mayhem to stay dull longer and maintain performance over longer periods.  The result is a different type of solid coverstock for Motiv; a shell that provides more length and down lane motion than the Leverage™ family of covers, but substantially more traction than Propulsion pearls.

When to Use

  • Speed Dominant

    Bowlers with exceptional speed or lower rpm will find the Evoke Mayhem useful on moderate oil fresh conditions and often during transition.  The added angularity of this solid makes it a nice option for speed dominant players who find most solids to be too smooth. 

  • Balanced

    Bowlers whose speed and rev rate match will love the Evoke Mayhem when their Evoke Hysteria is just a bit too clean or angular.  The Evoke Mayhem will be a fantastic option earlier in play with the Evoke Hysteria as a perfect go-to after the oil is depleted.

  • Rev Dominant

    A cleaner and faster response solid is a valuable tool for rev dominant players who sometimes get forced into pearls too early in competition and are forced to sacrifice control.  Rev dominant players should use the Evoke Mayhem when they are creating some angle on fresh, but are not ready to step all the way left and let the angular stuff fly.

    New evoke mayhem

    I purchased it the new Evoke Mayhem and I would have to say it is the best asymmetric ball I have ever thrown first game out of the box with a 2000 grit was a 247. Very pleased with the layout of the cover stock and reaction downlane.

    MOTIV EVOKE MAYHEM

    The new evolution in the Evoke line is the Mayhem. Great colors and shelf appeal. For those who loved the Hysteria like the rest of the planet, the Mayhem is a great addition. When the Hysteria is a bit clean for the fresh and need a bit more teeth, the Mayhem is the go to ball.
    Reads the mid lane well without loss of performance down lane
    All bowlers will see control on the fresh with the Mayhem.

    Effortless Pocket Power

    After a lengthy conversation with my pro shop operator, we decided to go with a 2 1/4 x 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 layout. The result was a long and low flaring reaction that effortlessly rolls into the pocket. I’m a higher ball speed with a 450+ rev rate and this cover, core, and this layout combination will allow me to play in a higher scoring zone for a lot longer in a block.

    Great Compliment

    The Evoke Mayhem is great compliment to the Hysteria which was wildly successful last year on tour. This one is an anomaly a dull ball that creates traction but retains energy with good continuation. I am not a big color guy but this one blends really well going down the lane. Works well on house patterns and excels on sport conditions. Take a look at this one, a very usable ball from Motiv.
