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.

    High five to Motiv

    Wow, when this ball hits the pocket, pins drop hard. This is one of my favorite balls to play with. Easy to understand the ball and make adjustments based on lane conditions. This ball has now made me look at other Motiv balls to add to my arsenal.

    Wow is all I can say

    Wow! Wow! Wow! I never write a review of a bowling ball until now. I bowl at classic lanes here in Auburn Hills Michigan. Had this ball drilled last night Pin down first bowling ball pin down rest of mine are pin up over ring finger. I am a right hander. Got ball after 3rd frame finished drill and after a few shots to get lined up was impressed at back end reaction. Finished game with a 180 which is my average. Second game 210, and last game 232 and the reaction into the pocket was amazing even when I missed right it snapped back to the 1-3 pocket clean. I recommend this to everyone who is a balanced bowler like me.

    Best Versatilty

    I’m a lower speed bowler. 15mph 375rpm and I can play this ball in so many different ways even though it’s a very strong asymmetrical ball. I’ve gone 279 6 times with this ball laying from 28 to 8. Then 279 5 times playing from as early as 17 to 9. It’s rare to have an asymmetric ball that I’m comfortable throwing.

    Bowled some of my highest scores with this ball. Smooth, controlled and forgiving. This ball will always be the first ball out the bag and will never disappoint!
