Retired 10/10/2022

The Trident™ Odyssey is the epic new addition to the popular Trident™ line.   Featuring an aggressive cover and the return of a past favorite core, the Trident™ Odyssey creates maximum hook without giving away down lane motion. Designed for control in medium-heavy to heavy oil conditions, the Trident Odyssey is a necessary addition to the bag of any bowlers encountering higher volumes of oil. 

The Trident™ Odyssey features the most recent tweak to the Coercion™ coverstock system, with the introduction of Coercion™ FYS (Full Yield Solid).  The uniqueness of the Coercion™ FYS cover is that it creates vast amounts of hook for the bowler without reading so early that it loses down lane continuation.

The Trident Odyssey marks the return of the Turbulent™ core used in the original Trident™.  For the purpose of this ball, a lower rg core performed the best.  The Trident™ Odyssey is designed for control in heavier concentrations in oil, which is ideal for the low rg and high differential of the asymmetrical Turbulent™ core. 

When to Use

Speed Dominant:  Bowlers with exceptional ball speed or lower rev rates are normally identified as speed dominant.  For these players, the Trident Odyssey will serve as a fantastic benchmark ball.  The control the Odyssey offers is second to none and the strength of the cover should allow this to be a speed dominant player’s first ball out of the bag. 

Balanced Bowlers:  For bowlers whose rev-rate and ball speed match, the Trident Odyssey should be used on heavier volumes of oil and longer oil patterns at the beginning of competition.  Balanced bowlers will see an easy progression from the Trident Odyssey to the Pride, then the Venom Shock as illustrated on the Motiv ball guide.  For balanced bowlers, the Pride is a benchmark ball; the Trident Odyssey has a stronger version of the Pride coverstock with a more aggressive core.  The Motiv product line is designed for these easy transitions from one ball to the next and the Trident Odyssey is no exception.

Rev Dominant:  Bowlers with exceptionally low speed or high rev rates will likely seldom need a ball stronger than the Trident Odyssey.  Rev dominant players can use the Trident Odyssey on fresh, high volume, low friction, and long oil patterns without any concern that their ball may skid past the breakpoint.  The benefit of using the Trident Odyssey first out of the bag for rev dominant players is that its ability to continue shaping down lane allows for these players to stay in their fresh oil ball longer and use it from multiple angles.

    Little Brother to the Ghost!

    The Trident Odyssey was a pleasant surprise to have as a release. Going back to the lower RG and overall higher Diff Turbulent core was a fantastic choice. It creates a separate shape from the Trident Horizon while being a great complement to it as well as the Ghost. For me, at 60x5.5x30, I felt that my Ghost was a little earlier, rounder, and more hook overall than the Odyssey, while the Horizon with the much higher RG and much lower Diff than the Ghost or the Odyssey, would lope down the lane and accelerate much harder off of friction. I personally did not throw the Horizon much as my Rev rate and ball roll match more with the lower RG pieces in the line and I do not need the extra shape that the Horizon provides. Overall, the Odyssey was a fantastic addition to the line as it provides more asymmetric options without creating too much overlap amongst each piece in the line.

    New found Love!!!!

    Had the New Trident Odyssey drilled up for me and tonight I was able to test it out at League. Mind you, it is a Typical House Pattern and I am a pretty even bowler. 16-17mph 400 revs.
    The Odyssey went through the fronts very easy, the Versatility of this ball is amazing! However, throwing it too far outside, its like someone just kicks it Right (I'm a Lefty), and it crosses over! Keeping it more in the oil, the ball handled phenomenal! This is my new "First ball on the Fresh" Most say this ball belongs between the Jackal Legacy, and the Jackal Ghost.... I disagree. This is almost a replacement for the Ghost. Its like what the Pride is to the Shock! This ball Will be in my Tournament bag, as well as my League bag! If you are looking for that ball for Heavy Oil, that is Versatile. This is the one you need!

    Favorite Solid Asym. since the Ghost

    Layout: 55°x5”x35°
    PAP: 4.125 over, 0.375 up
    Handedness: Left Handed
    I am fairly new to the Motiv brand since I wanted to try something new and got the Jackal Ghost in October of 2020. Now in January of 2022, I have a similar shape but better (if there is such a thing.) this past Saturday I had a set of 258-236-297 for a 791 series all three games with this fantastic piece. I hope to see the Turbulent Core to make a return again.

    A special one!

    What to say about the all new Trident Odyssey.
    Very seldom is a ball an instant favorite. The all new Trident Odyssey is definitely one of the favorites!
    I drilled mine 70X4.5X25. I find this ball to be extremely unique and a great comparison to the Alpha Jackal.
    First off, for an Asymmetrical it is relatively clean. The Turbulent core allows the ball to greatly rev up in the front part of the lane while the Coercion™ FYS Solid Reactive cover allows the ball to store its energy and have plenty of downlane reaction without the ball “burning” up in the front part of the lane. I compared this ball to the Alpha Jackal as they both have the same coverstock but different cores. The Alpha jackal for myself a lefty with a 375-400 rev rate, Pap is 3 7/8, 7/8 up, the Alpha would be over under at times. The Odyssey has taken away that and been a huge staple in my arsenal. I highly recommend this ball to any style bowler. Left handed or right handed the Odyssey will not disappoint!

    The Trident Odyssey is AWESOME!

    I am happy to see the return of the Turbulent core used in the original Trident along with a strong cover which gives the ball smooth but powerful finish off the pin deck. As I threw it in league the corners would jump off it seems before the ball got there in fear. When the ball hit the pocket the sound of the strike had people asking me about the Trident Odyssey. You really should get one it's a great bowling ball. Always Motivated ❌ ❌ ❌
