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.

    MOTIV Trident Nemesis

    The Trident Nemesis has a tremendous down lane motion for being a bigger asymmetrical piece. This ball lets you open up angles but being a bigger ball it starts up sooner and still maintains a strong continuation. Not only is the motion this ball creates amazing the ball looks amazing. I drilled mine 80x5x70. This layout is my go to asym layout, it lets me create length and smooth out the motion a little more so I’m able to control the pieces with my higher Rev rate and medium speed. If you want a strong down lane motion for heavier oil the Nemesis is the ball to get!

    Motiv is getting closer to a high-end Asymmetrical skid flip reaction with the Trident Nemesis. The new Sidewinder core appears to be versatile and responds well to different layouts. First ball drilled at 63-4-75 has a long hook zone with good continuation I enjoy this shape but the pattern has to be transitioned just right to get the corners out consistently. Second ball is 65-4 3/4-30 creates a much more traditional “skid flip” reaction. Personally, the cover was just a bit too clean for my liking, it gave me over under on a handful Med to Med/Hvy patterns and couldn’t count on the ball responding to the friction consistently. A light scuff with a used 3000 pad cured most of the issues. All in all, the Trident Nemesis is a fantastic looking ball that is a step in the right direction of a skid flip assym ball from Motiv. Trident Nemesis is a bit pickier on lane conditions compared to the RipCord or Supra due to the fact that they seem to react to the friction more consistently.

    My layout on mine is 60x5x35, This ball is clean and continuous. I can throw it absolutely anywhere and it comes back. I like mine on bad fronts or later in the day since the balls response time is so fast. This will be a great ball down from the Alpha Jackal and a compliment to the Forge Fire. 2/19 get yours!!

    This is now my ‘go to’ THS ball. I’ve been struggling all season, mostly due to health reasons, but this ball has me excited to bowl again. I use a 14# with a 50x4x30 layout and this ball hits hard. Good and clean through the heads and a powerful finish. A great step up from the Supra which is angular but not as strong as the Nemesis. I had many bowlers asking me what I was using last night. Thanks to Motiv for sending these out on early release 2 ball packs. I think you have another winner here. Nice work and proudly made in Michigan!

    The new Trident Nemesis will live up to its name by being a long lasting rival of every ball company in the industry. This new core and pearl coverstock from the Supra are very versatile and can be used on a lot of different patterns. I drilled mine with my favorite pin down layout on it and it's simply amazing. Super clean through the front part of the lane with a consistent and continuous motion downlane. My layout allows the pearl cover to start a little sooner than most and roll downlane rather than check mark off the spot like I have seen from some others. This is a must have for a step down from the stronger solids that are in the lineup when transition start to hit during a block. Oh and not to mention the shelf appeal this ball holds. It's simply beautiful and Motiv hit a homerun with this color combo. Go get yours today and Unleash Angle!

    Layout - 70x5-1/2x70
    Revrate - 430-450
    Ball Speed - 17mph
    PAP - 5" over 1/2" up
