Following the overwhelming response and competitive success of the Covert Tank™, MOTIV® is proud to present the next stage in microcell polymer technology, the Tank™ Blitz.

Featuring new Frixion™+ Microcell Polymer cover stock, the Tank™ Blitz is earlier and smoother than the Covert Tank™.  To create this powerful new Frixion™+ cover, MOTIV® engineers boosted the oil absorption rate of the microcell polymer to handle higher concentrations of oil.

To complement the intent of Frixion™+ cover stock, a low RG engine was needed in the Tank™ Blitz and the Gear™ core from the Venom™ Shock was the clear choice. With a lower differential, the Tank Blitz is capable of low flare layouts and produces a stronger, more traditional urethane shape, but with far better continuation.  

The solid red Tank Blitz with its 2000 Grit LSS finish provides a new shape for competitive bowlers and also gives average bowlers a very early and smooth option for medium oil conditions.

    What a TANK!

    This ball is something special! It is smooth off the spot, it digs in the mid lane and continues through the pins. The Blitz will give you a controllable motion no matter where you put it on the lanes. It is predictable and reliable. Check out my ball motion video here: https://youtu.be/5jiDreiRyz8

    Heavy and Smooth

    Motiv continues to push the envelope with cover stock technology. Frixion™+ Microcell Polymer is the latest installment of this unique cover. Paired with the proven Gear core from the very successful Venom Shock it should be good, right? This IS NOT Urethane and, in my experience, does not roll exactly like urethane. However, it does allow a player to use the same part of the lane with moderate volume. It reads the fronts as heavy as any ball in the Motiv lineup, without sacrificing hitting power and drive through the pins. Plus, I can use it for three games without seeing any carry down or destroying the lane for others. I see it being more useful on tougher patterns or a super cliffed house shot with decent volume.

    Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop!

    It’s no coincidence that MicroCell Polymer and Motiv Crushes Pins start with the same 3 letters. Motiv expands their ball reaction again with the addition of the Tank Blitz. I was a huge fan of the Covert Tank when I first got it and now the Tank Blitz is now with that. The Tank Blitz is much stronger and allows me to move left off the Covert and shape the ball. The Tank Blitz doesn’t stop. When I throw this ball, I feel like I can just see the pure power of it going to the pocket and watch it blow through the pins. The Blitz defines a tank, it is impossible to stop. If you want power for the entire length of the lane, get a Tank Blitz.

    ALL OUT BLITZ

    I have to start out by saying I’ve never been a huge fan of throwing urethane. This new BLITZ by MOTIV bowling is quickly changing my mind. The new FRIXION Microcell cover paired with the trusty Gear core from everyone’s favorite Venom Shock is such a sick combo from MOTIV. So far I’ve used this on a lighter, flatter pattern, right away I notice it has a smoother stronger reaction with better continuation through the deck compared to the Covert. I really look for this new Motiv piece to quickly become a popular choice for a ton of bowlers across the board. Motiv keeps raising the bar in bowling equipment, best in the business.

    Tank Blitz Review

    Review:

    The Tank Blitz is one of the latest releases from the MOTIV Bowling product line. With uniqueness and very popular release of the Covert Tank, MOTIV brings you the Tank Blitz that is the next stage of the Microcell Polymer technology. The Tank Blitz brings together the new Frixion Microcell Polymer Cover Stock along with the Gear Core that was found in the Venom Shock. This dual gives the Tank Blitz a stronger, smoother shape as well as a better continuation through the pins compared to the Covert Tank. Also with the new Microcell Technology, the Tank Blitz will have a better absorption rate of oil so you don’t have to worry about messing up the shot. If you loved the Covert Tank, then the Tank Blitz will be another favorite in your bag.

    Comments:

    I have never been a fan of throwing Urethane. I have never been comfortable throwing it nor never had no interest in having that shape in my bag but that all changed with the Covert Tank. The Microcell Polymer technology I feel gives us an advantage over any other company in that Urethane line because we can be a little more versatile without destroying the lane. The Tank Blitz could be pound for pound the strongest bowling ball I have ever owned. The early, smooth shape that the Tank Blitz gives me I feel I can throw this piece on higher volume and have success. Higher rev players will like this piece just as I previous stated. Medium to lower rev players will love the Blitz because when on more volume or transition has pushed the oil you will have no problem throwing this piece in your comfort zone and have success
    Likes: Early and smooth down lane motion; continuous through the pins.
    Dislikes: None

    I recommend this bowling ball for all types of bowlers
