Versatility. Continuation. With a brand-new core and cover stock, the Pride™ from MOTIV® is the designed to be the perfect benchmark piece.  Unique from anything currently available from MOTIV®, the Pride™ fits perfectly into the medium oil position of the ball guide.

The new technology at the heart of the Pride™ is the Dominion™ core.  It has specifications that place it between the Gear™ APG and the asymmetrical cores seen in the Trident™ and Jackal™ series.  These unique asymmetric specifications leverage the physics of the Dominion™ core so the Pride™ can be used on moderate volumes of oil and higher friction than the typical asymmetric bowling ball. 

Additionally, now that weight holes are illegal in competition, the asymmetric Dominion™ core will enable players to control ball motion more than most symmetric cores.  MOTIV® Tour Rep, Brett Spangler, said, “What’s so cool about this core to me is that I never felt like I was throwing an asym.  I get the versatility of the asymmetrical core, but the Pride™ never wanted to go too forward down lane or glue up too much in the front.  To have the versatility of an asym without some of the traditional drawbacks is incredible.”

The Dominion™ core is encased with the latest reactive Coercion™ cover stock from MOTIV® called UCS – Ultimate Continuation Solid.   It was created by providing more length and more angle to the existing Coercion™ MXC cover technology.  This new UCS Reactive cover stock is the most versatile Coercion™ shell to date and complements the unique specifications of the Dominion™ core perfectly.   

Speed Dominant Bowlers

Bowlers with higher speed or lower rev rates benefit greatly from asymmetrical cores.  Providing versatility in drilling and the ability to limit the skid phase for bowlers who struggle to get the ball to slow down is a massive plus. 

Balanced Bowlers

For balanced bowlers this is the centerpiece to their arsenal.  The Pride is the first ball out of the bag and the one used most often.  The controllable core and cover combination allows balanced bowlers to use the Pride on a variety of surfaces and concentrations of oil.  The easily tuned Coercion UCS Cover can also be shined or scuffed to allow an even broader window for balanced bowlers to use the Pride.

Rev Dominant Bowlers

For many rev dominant bowlers, asymmetrical balls are too strong to use on house shots and moderate oil patterns.  A lower differential and cleaner cover than most asymmetrical solids allows rev dominant bowlers to have an asym in their bag that they can use on many more patterns and higher friction surfaces.

    Best Asymmetrical

    I'm a low speed high rev dominant roller. So I normally need something that can get far down lane without a giant snap at the back for second shift leagues. This ball delivers everything and then some . This ball gets 40ft down lane before exploding in the pocket and delivering deadly pin carry. I asked my pso to drill it for a long skid/flip and this ball gives even slower ball speed guys play room. I’ve already ordered two more and can’t wait for what’s next.

    Maybe the perfect ball

    I just got the Pride. I've thrown it in 2 different leagues so far. This ball is unbelievable. It is smooth and predictable. If I miss in a little, it holds and goes through the pins. If I miss right it comes back with power. The consistency of the Pride is non-stop. I was able to use it in all 3 games each night and only had to move 2 boards with my feet from the 1st frame of the night to the last. The house I bowl in is a medium-heavy THS.

    Let your pride flow

    I drilled my pride 60x4x30. New cover cover core combination.The new UCS solid with the new Dominion core. I was at the senior master in Las Vegas Sam town bowling center. Pretty high friction center on a pretty difficult pattern for this tournament. 40ft 30ml very flat for the most part . Also my first squad was on double burn. I was amazed first of all at the unique shape of the pride nothing like in our current line. Second how easily it blended the pattern out went through the fronts with ease picked up the mids with NO problem smooth backend reaction but very continuous. I loved this so much I probably stay in it way to long for this pattern. Should have balled down after game 3 of 5. On house the Pride performed equally as well it handle the massive build up in middle still picked up the mids with no problem which me is extremely important for me with my ball speed. The Pride is a must have ball in your tournament bag or any bag for that matter. Its unique shape will give bowlers something you currently don’t have.

    Insane new Benchmark

    I drilled up my PRIDE with a slightly stronger layout than normal (60x5x30) and pretty much instantly fell in love. The roll this ball has is extremely predictable! Not only does it look extremely good rolling down the lane, the motion it has is super good. It lane shined pretty quick on me and became a little too much off the spot causing 4 and 9 pins, so I took it down to 2000 grit to smooth it out. Ever since I dulled it ever so slightly, it has become a monster on the THS I bowl on. This piece is definitely a gap that we needed to fill for a long time. Go out there and get you one! (or maybe two)

    Strong Benchmark

    For years the Venom Shock has been the symmetrical answer for benchmark pieces. On the asymmetrical side of things however I didn't feel there was a benchmark piece in the line. The Ghost stood above all the rest but the PRIDE is for sure this benchmark piece. I am not usually a big fan of asym pieces but I was very surprised by not only the strength of this piece but also the consistency of this piece. The shape is very controllable and versatile as you can multiple parts of the lane with this piece. The new technology in this piece is once again a step above the competition. I haven't touched the surface quite yet on this one but when I do I'm assuming it will only get better and better. This is for sure in the running for Ball of the Year this year and the season has barely started.

    Layout - 55x6x45
    Revrate - 430-450
    Ball Speed - 17mph
    PAP - 5" over 1/2" up
