Let’s get right to it…the new Trident™ Nemesis is undoubtedly the most angular asymmetric ball ever created by MOTIV®!   It proudly features our latest Infusion™ HV (High Volume) Pearl Reactive cover technology and new Sidewinder™ asymmetric weight block design. Intended for medium-heavy oil conditions, the Trident Nemesis has impressive backend motion and powerful continuation.

The new Sidewinder™ weight block expands the MOTIV® spec range within the asymmetric category making the Trident Nemesis a very attractive ball because of the impending balance hole rule change coming in 2020.  Asymmetry will give ball drillers more influence over ball motion.  The Sidewinder™ design is featured in every Trident™ Nemesis from 16 down to 12 pounds.

The Infusion™ HV Pearl Reactive cover used on this Trident™ is at the forefront of innovation.  With the introduction of Infusion™ Pearl Reactive cover on the Supra™, we saw more angle than ever from a MOTIV® ball.  However, the Supra™ was intended for lighter oil conditions, so the task was to tune an already great cover to handle more oil without sacrificing down lane motion.  After extensive testing, Infusion™ HV was developed. This cover creates more traction in the oil, yet still creates all the angle a bowler could need. 

The Trident Nemesis is impressive on and off the lanes.  The gorgeous Teal Pearl and Black Pearl cover has a polished 5500 Grit LSP finish and utilizes a ball pattern with bold blocks of color. This look is complemented with Silver Pearl and Aqua Pearl NeoMark™ graphics.

    Never have had a ball with this much hook!

    I'm a rev dominant player and I throw about 18 mph and this thing is insane! The hook and entry angle I can get with this ball is astonishing. I would say it is probably the strongest ball in my bag if not tied with the Alpha Jackal.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    This ball is a beast. No question the core and cover combination is absolutely amazing with this new Trident. This ball is for sure one of my favorite releases by Motiv.

    This thing HOOKS.

    Had it drilled to have length and backend. Lanes got a little beat up so I figured I’d give this a shot. It was super clean through the fronts, with a wicked backend. I could throw it from 35 all the way to 3-4 and it would come back.


    This is easily my new favorite ball in my bag.

    Hot off the Spot

    The one thing missing in my bag was a Strong Asymmetrical Angular Pearl ball. This ball is Hot off the Spot and does not disappoint. Love the transition when my benchmark balls (Ghost, Shock) can't carry those pesky corner pins; I am able to pull out the Nemesis and let it fly to the dry and never have to worry if it will make it back or not. Drilled mine 35x5x20.
