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.

    Unleash Angle

    Layout:
    60 x 4 ½” x 30

    Building upon the Infusion coverstock technology introduced on the Supra, MOTIV’s strongest asymmetric pearl offering to date has arrived: the Trident Nemesis. Boasting a bold teal and black color scheme, this medium-heavy volume release stands out on both the shelf and the lane.
    Two new technologies are at work on this ball: Infusion HV Pearl coverstock (5500 LSP) and the Sidewinder core (2.52RG, .049Diff). This shell was designed to provide high-powered backend motion when there are heavier volumes of oil on the lane, a compliment to the heavy hitters for when they chew up the fronts but cannot open their angles enough to break the lane down further. The core gives enough flaring power to read the midlane well while also retaining enough transitional energy to deliver a snappy backend reaction.
    I laid mine out with the intention of having a transitional ball that would compliment the Alpha Jackal when the angles are too much for the Forge Fire or I just need something that will simply push down the lane and flip on the backend on fresher house shots. Out of the box this pin distance actually gave me a bit too much length for the conditions I typically bowl on, so I hit the surface with a 3000 pad by hand and that made the world of a difference for me. I could easily start the league night with the Nemesis crossing around 15-board, with a breakpoint around 5-board, if I wanted to. With this color scheme it is easy to see just how hard the ball is working to gain traction in the mids but then works even harder to explode off the friction down lane. Between the 9-pins I have left and the multitude of errant shots that hit outside of 3-board at the breakpoint yet still came screaming back to the pocket (including several of those 9-pins I might add), I cannot overstate the backend power of this ball. With that in mind, I see this ball shine the most during the transition. Once my Alpha has worn out its welcome because of early friction, the Nemesis’ overall strength is an assurance to have in the bag for both the immediate ball reaction need and the next several games as the angles this ball can create and still strike truly is impressive.
    Between the excellent color scheme and the head-turning response time to backend friction, feel free to unleash angle with the Trident Nemesis.

    This ball whips!!

    When it comes to Asymmetrical bowling balls, the stigma for years was that they rev up early and are usually read early or in the mid lane. The Trident Nemesis fully and unequivocally breaks that trend. This ball has zero issue getting down lane on medium heavy oil conditions with an extremely fast response to friction. I was curious...to be perfectly honest, I was skeptical when told the Nemesis was just as fast as the Supra. I mean, c'mon. An aggressive Asymm vs a high RG symm designed for lighter oil? There's no way. Well, I'm here to say I was wrong. Dead wrong. The Trident Nemesis almost gets as far as the Supra down lane, and it has the same fast response off the spot. When bowling on longer, heavier patterns when you need a ball to respond down lane and the Supra isn't enough, the Trident Nemesis will give you that same shape. I am thoroughly impressed with how fast this asymm is.

    Check out my video in the link below. I compare the Trident Nemesis to the Golden Jackal, Jackal Ghost, and Villain Scorn. As always, the comparison shots are thrown from the same line so you can see the hook and shape difference.

    This. Ball. HOOKS

    The Trident Nemesis is one of the most ridiculous balls I've ever thrown. The guys in R&D at MOTIV have somehow created a ball that can hold line in higher volumes of oil and still give you the utmost amount of downlane hook. Between this ball and the Supra I have never seen more angle created out of a bowling ball, and that's coming from someone who doesn't have a high amount of axis rotation to make a ball turn the corner. This ball just flat out hooks no matter what you're bowling on. If you love the Supra or anything angular, this is going to be a ball for you.

    Trident Nemesis

    Finally the ball I have been waiting for. There has been a spot in my bag reserved for the day when MOTIV released a big asym pearl. I have not been disappointed and neither will you. The Nemesis stacks up against any competitors Asym pearl offerings. I did have to hit mine with a 4k pad to crack the shine a bit, but once I did the ball got even stronger and more responsive down lane. This ball is so good that I just drilled a 2nd this time pin under ring instead of pin over ring like the 1st. I can't wait to roll it in league . Order yours today.

    I drilled the Nemesis 75 x 4 x 35. For me its a good ball to go to when the Alpha Jackal starts to hook to soon on the lane. The Nemesis gets down the lane and has a great back end reaction. Here is a link to a ball motion video of the new Nemesis.
