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 have had this ball for a few weeks and am very happy with it . Gets down the lane and has a lot of backend. First game was 268 with it. Our lanes after 1 game lose all their backend so I knocked some of the shine off with a 3000 pad. The ball hooks a little earlier but still has a controllable backend. Love the looks now trying to decide what Motiv ball I am purchasing next.

So after 8 month being out due to spinal nerve damage had to recover and start very slowly. Bought this ball as my learners ball to get back into the game. With 440rpm and only 12-13mph I expected a lot of struggle. Nope! This wonderful piece allowed for my many mistakes of missing right and still recovering later down lane. I’ve always bowled Motiv and don’t look to stop now. I will always recommend this company to friends!

I received this ball for my birthday and as soon as I saw it I was in love with it. In the light the ball is a deep dark purple color with the red text which is amazing to look at. Not only that but throwing the ball itself for the first time was also exhilarating. Watching the ball conserve its energy with the smooth pearl coverstock then cutting back really hard at the end was spectacular. With it being a symmetric bowling ball I find it to be very very consistent but also with some adaptability to either keep your angles tight or open up a little. I highly recommend this ball if you’re looking for something medium to heavy oil that has a lot of backend.

If your thinking about getting this ball just do it. It is what Motiv says it is. It will do what they say it will do. I've had this ball only a few weeks and I have guys coming up to me asking if that's the Nebula? I've never really had anyone ask me what ball I use before, though I do recommend balls from this brand if someone is looking for help or ideas. I have Norm Duke-ish style and Rev rate at best and this ball glides down the lane then just goes to the pocket with great backend and continuation. I needed a medium to light oil ball stronger than the Venom Shock and this was it.
I'm looking to forward to the weeks to come.

I have the Venom shock but felt i needed something a step up, stronger in the backend. This is it!
Although sometimes it's a bit too much ball for me to use on a house shot, it's perfect for me to use in my sport league, Currently playing on PBA Dragon, once my raptor reign / evoke starts to check early. I can grab the Nebula and start moving left with it.
Its explosive once it hits friction! and damn explosive when it hits the pins! Plenty times I walk back and see shock in peoples faces after seeing what this ball does haha It has quickly became my favorite Motiv ball!
