Thrill - Magenta/Wine Pearl

4.9Read Reviews

Designed for lighter oil conditions, the Thrill™ provides length and control when lanes are dry and friction is high.  

Featuring the new Flux™ weight block, the Thrill™ has a higher RG to delay ball reaction and create the length needed on light oil patterns.  It also has a very low differential to minimize track flare and provide ball motion control at the backend of the lane. 

The new Agility XP (Striking Precision) Reactive cover stock on the Thrill™ complements the performance attributes of the Flux™ weight block making it ideal for dry lanes.  Both the Wine/Magenta Pearl and the Blue/Purple Pearl Thrill balls feature a 5500 Grit LSP surface finish.  

The Thrill is available at an incredibly attractive price point, but it’s not just a great option for bowlers buying their first ball.  We’ve been very intentional about designing a piece that higher rev competitive bowlers will appreciate because it pushes further down the lane before making a move on dry lanes.

    Great learners ball

    Since starting bowling I chose the Motiv Thrill as my first ball. I've found that it has a great down lane action not being to aggressive but just enough to start learning how to control the ball

    I would recommend this to a friend

    It's amazing right out of the box.

    Tonight was my new Thrill's debut night on leagues. Right out of the box, I was blown back with this ball's ability to go deep down lane and snap into the pocket. This ball reacted better than most of the high-performance balls from Motiv that I also own. My first set was just shy of a 700 with a 694. I would absolutely recommend this ball to anyone. There's just no way you'll get this type of reaction from another ball at this price point.

    Just as advertised!

    I bought the Thrill to battle the lanes when my more aggressive stuff starts reacting a little earlier. Well it has done that and more! I have started using it right from the beginning as it has allowed me to play the the lanes in my comfort zone and make only small adjustments during the night. I have always averaged between 195-200, but this year I have jumped over the 200 mark with more long strings of strikes. I couldn’t have picked a better ball to pair with my Shock! Motiv-ated to be better!!

    Everyone needs one

    When the lanes are fried this ball is amazing! When everything else in my bag is going through the nose this ball is amazing! When I want to play further outside this ball is amazing! Needless to say, this ball is amazing!
