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.

    It doesn’t stop!

    Just like the title says, this ball doesn’t stop. The new combination of the Dominion core mixed with the Coercion UCS Solid Reactive cover stock creates a very predictable, strong motion that truly shows by the continuation this ball provides. As someone who has a lower rev rate, the extra strength this ball provides as a benchmark piece, is exactly what I love to see. I have full confidence that on fresh medium patterns and league patterns, the Pride will give me the predictability/Benchmark reaction and the absolute strength going through this pins that make it a necessity for everyone to have in their bag. Get yours today.

    Pride

    The Motiv Pride is the new medium oil benchmark ball. Gets down lane with ease and doesn't compromise reaction or power. Very versatile on most conditions and takes to surface changes very well.

    The new standard for benchmark!

    MOTIV has really knocked this one out of the park! The Pride gets down the lane so easily for me as a solid and it does not quit.

    The new UCS cover does not burn up on higher friction surfaces allowing you to keep this ball in your hand for longer.

    The new Dominion core provides a larger amount of drilling options to customize this ball to you as the bowler.

    The ball as a whole has been fantastic and responds well to different hand position adjustments as well.
