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.

I rolled a 627 series then a 690 series with the nebula. Goes further down the lane then the backend finishes like no ball I ever had . Strongly recommended especially for medium oil.

The new Dark Matter Propulsion™ Pearl Reactive, is one of the cleanest balls I have seen through the fronts and the backend with the new Hadron™ Symmetrical core wows me everytime I throw it! On a typical house shot, this ball is an absolute killer! This is my go to ball for both Synthetic and Natural Wood Lanes! The length this ball has is phenomenal! Very Clean through the fronts! And the backend with this ball makes you think it's an Asymmetrical core. But it's Not!
I have mine drilled my normal Symmetrical layout, 50 x 5 1/4 x 35. Being a Lefty, I can be very versatile with this ball depending on hand location. I normally stay at 3rd arrow. But, I, depending on oil, and go straight up 10 board in the normal Lefty fashion! This is my Benchmark ball currently and you can definitely see me throwing this ball ALOT! I have many 700 series with this ball, and my League average through 3 leagues have shot up since the end of November when this ball hit the lanes! I Highly Recommend this ball to everyone! And I speak very Highly of this ball!
Keep it up Motiv! These new releases are just amazing!

I had to drop from 16lbs to 14 getting back into league at my age, with the various issues with arthritis.
Yesterday, 3/24/26, rolling with 2 gentlemen from league I shot 192, 256 and 216 for 664.
I LOVE THIS BALL... I absolutely recommend it for your bags

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.
