The Pride™ Empire introduces a new level of backend speed to the MOTIV® line.  Featuring the brand-new Propulsion™ Pearl Reactive cover stock, this beast showcases an angular response unlike anything before. 

The MOTIV® engineering team has been making clear advancements, leading the industry in pearl cover tech in recent years, and this new Propulsion™ system is the pinnacle of angular performance.  Utilizing this new pearl cover, the Pride™ Empire pushes through the front of the lane with ease, storing energy for a dynamic move down lane.  And that’s at a 5000 Grit laser-scanned finish!  Bowlers who desire maximum length and a violent response to friction can adjust the finish to a higher grit like 5500, but they may get more than they bargained for.  We kept it at 5000 to tame this beast a touch.

The Dominion™ asymmetrical core at the heart of the Pride™ Empire also displays special characteristics.  A moderate primary RG differential and low intermediate allow the ball to dominate on lower oil volumes and higher friction surfaces than more powerful asymmetric balls like the Jackals, which are designed for higher volume patterns.  Additionally, the asymmetric physics of the Pride™ Empire provides ball drillers with greater layout versatility since weight holes are no longer allowed in competition.

When To Use:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - For speed dominant bowlers who love to see angular motion, the Pride Empire will fit well below the Mythic Jackal in their bag.  The Mythic Jackal is a strong asymmetrical hybrid option for creating angular motion.  When that ball is too strong, speed dominant bowlers should have no issue stepping into a Pride Empire and creating even more angle to the friction. 
  • Balanced Bowlers - For bowlers with a balanced speed to rev rate ratio, there are many uses for the Pride Empire.  A strong and smooth drilling will give the bowler a great ball to use behind their original pride to continue controlling the lane without worrying about the friction developing up front.  However, a balanced bowler using a cleaner and more angular drilling could use the Pride Empire to create more angle down lane than possible with anything else in their bag.  Balanced bowlers will find the Pride Empire to be a crucial piece in their tournament and league arsenals. 
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - Bowlers with substantial rev rates will see use for the Pride Empire when they want to maintain control of the lane while still creating a substantial angle.  This will serve as the most angular ball in the middle of a rev dominant player’s progression.

    Get Motivated

    Let’s start by saying Get Motivated. The new Pride Empire is just what the Doctor ordered for when you need a ball to get thru the front part of the lane and speed back to the 1-3 pocket. Motiv is really own to something with this new Propulsion pearl cover stock. The original Pride and the Empire should be a great 1-2 punch for a lot of bowlers, beginners and experienced! Let’s go Motiv!!

    Great addition

    The Pride Empire is a great addition to the Motiv line. Clean through the fronts and responds quickly to friction. I can play many different lines with this piece without losing continuation. Great for medium oil conditions.

    The Pride Empire is a medium oil pearl ball which looks great! It features the Asymmetric Dominion core found on the original Pride but with the brand new Propulsion Pearl cover stock. This ball fits perfectly on the ball chart and since it's an asym, you can drill this many different ways to get the shape you want in both leagues and tournaments. This is a go to ball for me especially when the fronts start to go or I can take advantage of the friction on the lane. You will want to pick one up today!

    Another level of awesome!

    The Motiv Pride has been my benchmark ball and what I hold every other ball up to. The Motiv Pride Empire exceeds expectations and that is not easy for me. The Pride Empire gets down lane while still reading the middle of the lane and absolutely comes back to impose its will on the pins. It is capable of multiple angles, oil patterns and concentrations. I was hesitant that the Pride Empire would be a little too clean for what I wanted but I was wrong. Simply adjust speed and/or hand position and this ball is super versatile. I have mine drilled 45 X 3 3/4 X 20. The Pride Empire is a must have for league and tournaments.

    King Of The LANES (and the jungle)

    I must say the anticipation of this ball set a very high standard to meet and it surpassed even my wildest dreams. This ball is so snappy out of the oil. If you have the ability to adjust your hand position to come more up the back you have yourself a secret weapon that will slide up the outside and just crush the pins. I am telling you this ball will surprise you in heavy oil too. I am getting another for a pin down sleeper. Grab them before they are gone and you have search long and hard for a used one even.
