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.

    What a wonderful ball!!!

    Today I rolled the Jimmy Jean Memorial Bowlers Tour tournament at Foothills Bowl in Auburn, CA. The Evoke Mayhem stepped up and helped me take 2nd place. In the playoffs, I shot both a 300 and 270 back to back. I have also thrown quite a few 270s in the last few weeks with this ball. I highly recommend getting one!!!

    Stellar ball

    I have had many different Motiv balls. To me this ball acts like a bigger version of my favorite one the Venom Shock. The biggest difference between the two is that where the Shock would let off in relative continuation the Evoke Mayhem keeps on going. As a 210's avg I have thrown roughly a 230 avg with this ball to include a 269 then a 300 in my first two games.

    This is the Evoke Hysteria Solid!

    If you loved the Evoke Hysteria, this is going to be the best compliment if you need something stronger. The Evoke Mayhem was advertised from the beginning as the solid version of an Evoke Hysteria and there is zero question that it absolutely is that! The Mayhem is a touch cleaner in the fronts than the original Evoke, but with more overall motion downlane allowing this to be one of the most versatile if not the most versatile solid asym we have ever produced, even giving the Jackal Ghost a run for its money! Given more time on the lanes with it, it may overtake the Jackal Ghost as my favorite solid asym I've ever thrown. If you are in need of a solid asym that gives you the ability to play nearly any part of the lane, this is the one for you!

    Embrace the Mayhem

    A Solid version of the Propulsion Cover is an absolute Home Run!! This is the Same cover used on the Hysteria but in Solid Form. For me personally, I wanted to go with a layout by the initial look of it might make you think it would lock up but in reality it just stays super smooth.

    My PAP is 4 3/4 Over and 1 1/2 Up and I chose to go with a 60x5.25.15 Layout. This resulted in the Pin just to the left of my bridge and about 1.5in above the fingers.

    At box surface It was just a touch earlier than I was expecting so off to the Ball Spinner we went and hit it with some 2k Diamond Pads. (Keep In Mind, Box is 2000 RSS which in Ball Spinner Language is essentially between 1500 and a Worn 1500pad) So after making the mildest of surface tweaks it was back to the lanes and it was then doing exactly what I was wanting to see. Being Propulsion Base, it cleared the fronts and made it to the break point without burning out it's axis with ease. Once at the breakpoint the ball began to move but not snap as the pearl had been removed thus allowing the ball to shape without giving that hockey stick type of shape.

    Smooth, Predictable, Hard thru the Pins, 10 In The Pit. Embrace the Mayhem
