Trident Odyssey

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.

    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.

    Trident Odyssey is totally amazing

    The Trident Odyssey was a game changer for me. The ball is strong on the backend but also controllable. It is great on the fresh and I only have to move a couple of boards left once the transition hits to stay in the pocket. The Trident Odyssey strikes a lot even if I miss my mark a little it totally kills the pocket. I knock the lane shine off it with a ctd 3000 pad after about nine games. Thanks Motiv for producing awesome bowling balls and for having outstanding customer service and support. Always Motivated ❌️ ❌️ ❌️

    Smoooooth

    If you're looking to step down from the Jackal Ghost, this is the ball. The Odyssey is also great if you have oil and are looking for a nice smooth motion. It will hook a ton, but is very predictable and won't give you the over/under situation that a lot of angular balls will give you.

    Perfect early grip!

    Must say that this ball grips so good early in the lane and with my pin down version I got this smooth long motion so I Can use it cross the heavier to medium oil patterns! The core makes it hit harder then the venom or pride balls But little less then the jackal class! But still it goes through the pins with ease!

    If u looking for an amazing solid 2000 grid finish ball then look No further! This Will grip for u like nothing ells! Even for a beginner the Maybe not got mutch rev in the hands it Will hook for u!

    I did mine pin down for that smoother bigger motion But I Can guarantee it Will go very Well with a pin up version to get that hockey stick motion! It all depends off your stile! And if u don't have a Jackal in your arsenal, then this is your nr 1 ball out off the bag!

    U Will Enjoy it! Stay MOTIVaded my friends!

    Great ball

    I just got this ball drilled. Pin up and right by my ring finger. First series was 698. Ball pushes through the oil and has great back end. I can also swing it and it comes back strong. Growing up I was a hammer guy. About a year ago I tried Motiv and have increase my average by 10 pins.
