Prepare to conquer the deep with the Trident Abyss.  Merging the Turbulent asymmetric core and a modified Coercion cover, this is the strongest ball ever made by MOTIV® and it is built to dominate in a flood of oil.  Beneath the surface of the Trident Abyss is the Turbulent weight block.  It provides a lower RG, high differential, and strong asymmetry. This combination creates maximum track flare to make the turn in deep oil.  The Coercion HV3 (High Volume 3rd Generation) reactive cover on the Trident Abyss has been modified to dig even harder in heavy oil.  The 2-tone gray solid shell is tuned with a 2000 Grit LSS finish to provide maximum traction. The Trident Abyss is an obvious fit for speed dominant and low rev bowlers looking for more hook.  Competitive bowlers will want to use it to cap off their MOTIV® arsenal with a very strong piece that provides control on heavy oil patterns.

    Trident Abyss

    This ball is brilliant through the fresh and allows me to stand left and get it out right in the friction and come races back into the pocket and still have plenty of energy to clear all 10 pins.

    Best Purchase

    Through the years of bowling I have bought and been given many bowling balls... However the Trident Abyss has become my favorite ball yet... I’m a two handed bowler and the reaction I get from this ball is incredible... This is my go-to first ball in every tournament... I highly recommend getting the Trident Abyss if you like a late and quick reacting ball.

    I would recommend this to a friend
