At the center of the Nebula is the brand-new Hadron Core—our first dual-density core in over 8 years. This new symmetrical core was worth the wait, generating incredible energy retention for an explosive backend motion. This new addition is intended to be the most versatile dual density core in the Motiv line while still providing the trademark dual density flip down lane. And the high-density flip block at the bottom of the core fuels explosive reaction to new levels!
Wrapped around the Nebula is new Dark Matter Propulsion Pearl - the sharpest, cleanest, and most angular coverstock MOTIV has EVER created. Every single adjustment to Propulsion tech was made with one outcome in mind: faster backend reaction. Even the cosmic-black color choice and pearl additive were made solely to maximize angularity. As a result, the Dark Matter Propulsion cover is cleaner and more reactive than any Propulsion technology prior. This cover is pure rocket fuel.
For bowlers with higher ball speed and/or lower rev rates, the Nebula will likely serve as an angular ball best used on friction. Speed dominant bowlers require more friction than most, so rather than being a medium oil pearl, the Nebula will likely serve as a medium-dry to dry lane solution when the bowler needs angle.
Bowlers with balanced speed/rev rate ratios will love the Nebula late in league night, late in tournament squads, on lighter oil patterns, and often high friction surfaces. When friction is present and angle through the front of the lane is necessary, the Nebula will be an outstanding solution.
Crankers will love the Nebula for many situations ranging from medium-heavy oil to medium-dry when they want to see back end motion. Many rev dominant players like to create angle through the front of the lane and need something that responds quickly to friction. The Nebula is designed for fast response to friction, which so many rev dominant players love to see.

Bought a 16lb Venom Black a year ago, have a high game of 245 with it, but it's just too heavy now. I switched to a 14lb ball, but wanted a steeper angle into the pocket to compensate for the 2lb loss. The Nebula got released and I bought one. I love this ball!
Because of the steeper entry angle, I never notice the loss of 2lbs in pin carry.

This ball is so good it feels like it shouldn’t be legal. 782 my first three games and I couldn’t be more impressed. Always been a Motiv guy but after this ball I don’t see a reason to buy from anywhere else, great compliment to my Evoke Mayhem. Ball just detonates a nuke in the pocket. House shot or sport shot this ball will strike all day!

Motiv got this one right. Buy 2!!! Keep one shiny for that aggressive move down lane, but where the Nebula excels is after knocking off the shine and using the revs of the core on long oil patterns. A dull Nebula is such a huge advantage to have in the bag.

This ball has really been a great ball for me. I have added some surface to this ball. Used a 1500 pad and then the ball really came alive for me. I now have a new appreciation for pearl balls, knowing I can add surface. Thank you Motiv it’s never to old to learn…

Picked up the Nebula Wednesday night during league. My first two throws were strikes. The ball hunts for the pocket and just rips the pins apart. Love having this ball in my arsenal. I am looking at the Hysteria, and based off the action the Nebula gave me, the Hysteria is going to join as my final ball in my arsenal!!

Every ball is built to maximize consistency, control, and power—so you can focus on striking with precision.
