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.

    This ball is a hidden jem!!

    I first threw the Pride at a test drive as it was the only ball I had not thrown and I was pleasantly surprised. This ball turns the corner hard and hits like a freight train. I don't have a huge rev rate, but this ball moves me left and I can create angle. I eventually got one and drilled it. I struggled to find a spot for it in my bag, then one night without paying attention I had the front 9. Once I noticed it, my emotions got the best of me and I missed my first perfect game. I've realized now that for me, the pride rolls better on the transition than on the fresh.

    Best first ball out of the bag yet!

    I wasn’t sure to believe what some people were saying about the Pride being a “benchmark” ball, but man they were right.
    For my speed and revs , I can play straight up the 5 to 7 area and get a feel as I move left. A little adjustment and it will grab in the friction very nicely and controlled. Some balls feel like the core and cover fight each other, not so with the pride. They seem to work well and give a nice, controlled shape as you move across the lane. And if the reaction isn't working for the lane conditions, you can go up or down in ball strength or shape. That's the beauty of the Pride, its such a solid starting point that makes it easy to decide if you need to change balls and even easier to find a lane that works for you. Plus it's eye candy, Motiv hit a home run with the looks of this one, it's a beauty. Can't recommend this one enough.

    When you need a weaker asym

    I got the Pride and wasn't sure what to expect. I have the Rogue Assassin and the Pride is a great compliment to it. I have a symmetric benchmark with the Rogue Assassin and an asym benchmark with the Pride. The Pride is a little more dynamic down lane and the Rogue Assassin is more even and smoother down lane. It is perfect for a house shot.

    Pride

    Wow! This all taught me a lot. First, it took me a while to figure this ball out. I struggled to understand where it fit into my bag until I was in a jam, pulled it out, and it saved me! This ball taught me how to give a ball more revs/hand to get its full effect and power through the pins. Plenty of 700s with this ball!
