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.

    Wow.

    65x5x35

    I was not expecting to be wowed this much by this piece. It's hard to sum up everything I like about this ball in words, and when you see one go down the lane in person, you'll know what I mean.

    The Gear core and I have gotten along very, very well in the past, so seeing a bigger cover wrapped around it gives me a new favorite option in the medium category for me. I'm the kind of guy that would throw a Shock on everything he could, so having a Blitz as an option for higher volume stuff is great. I find myself running over the 8 pin when I play straighter with the ball, and to my surprise, it recovers very well for something this smooth when I miss outside early. It takes well to a handful of different surfaces, and I find myself even able to use it on lighter volume stuff with 4k, but also able to tackle very high volume with 1000. It likely won't be getting polish, but that's what the Supra is for, right?

    This is probably the most positive review I've ever written on a bowling ball, but then again, this is, in my opinion, the BEST medium smooth ball Motiv has EVER produced.
