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.

    So far so good.

    Drilled mine 70x5x30, threw for first time and had to get used to how strong the ball is first game then 236 and 244 to finish the night. Strong as advertised and found it to be pretty angular. Really good ball fora speed dominant player like me.

    I was initially drawn to the Motiv line due to their unique looks compared to other brands. The Trident Odyssey caught my eye every time I entered my local pro shop and when a great deal on a NIB I knew it was time to try it out. I bowl on average 20 games a week between two centers, with vastly different oil patterns. I had been struggling on one that had a heavier oil pattern and this ball as allowed me to get more comfortable throwing on different parts of the lane. I am a 165ish average bowler but have seen my highest games with this ball. 2nd day throwing it, I shot a personal high of 245. I have consistently thrown 200's+ with it. During yesterday's practice session I bowled a total of 10 games with a 180 average. After some dialing in, my last five games averaged 201 for a 1001 5 game set, which I was ecstatic to see to say the least! Love this ball!

    Can’t wait for the season

    Like my header says I can’t wait to start the season next week with my new Odyssey. I bought the Blue Coral Venom and the Odyssey over the summer and drilled them differently for scratch bowling challenge tournaments and neither disappointed but the Odyssey is in a class above!! It is so smooth and pure rolling down the lane and stores so my pop for the back end. I have a 3rd and 5th place finish in two of the last 4 events I registered for, and really look forward to the regular bowling season and the 700 club tournaments I bowl in all year. Best equipment in the game and won’t throw anything else!!!

    Trident Odyssey

    I have been a Hammer head for most of my bowling years, however I thought Motiv had some balls worth trying. My son and I got to talking about Motiv balls and he ordered an Iron Forge because he is more of a cranker. He ordered me the Trident Odyssey due to my slower ball speed. This ball is smooth, however after the ball gets lane shined it really picks up in the back. I rolled many games over 200 and it still hooks even when hit with 4000 true cut pads. From what I've seen it is smother over all than the Ghost and less choppy than the Legacy for me.
