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.

    The Trident Trifecta

    I have the Horizon, the Nemesis and now the Odyssey.. The Odyssey is a perfect combination of traction and down lane motion. When the lanes start to transition I can ball over to the Horizon and the Nemesis. It's a perfect step down to the Jackal Ghost. It works well on the moderate length sports shots also, not too strong and not too weak.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Beast Ball!

    This ball is a beast! Carves through the oil with ease and hits like a ton of bricks. My wife just shot her highest game ever with it! A Turkey Must Have!

    Nothing odd about Oddessy

    Type: Asymmetrical
    Coverstock: Coercion FYS Solid Reactive

    Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk4lV0nccZw
    Layout: 45 x 4 ½ x 70

    Strengths

    Although Trident Odyssey produces continuation and hook on heavier patterns, it’s rather versatile on mediums as well.
    Trident Odyssey does read early however is does have more length to offer to that of Forge Flare and Trident Abyss,
    Trident Odyssey is rather strong backend wise for the traction it provides in oil, the most backend of any Trident ball.

    Weaknesses
    Trident Odyssey does needs oil to be effective, playing on shorter and drier patterns I wouldn’t advise even for those that are speed-dominant of players because Coercion is going to Coercion.

    Overall Summary

    It isn’t odd to see why Odyssey is an immediate fan favorite to a variety of styles, Trident Odyssey brings back the Turbulent core from the original Trident, Trident Quest, and Trident Abyss. Trident Odyssey will allow you to take full advantage of its strength of playing straight angles in the front, and will read the midlane without sacrificing continuation through the pins.

    There is nothing odd about Odyssey so take your pin carry on a odyssey.
    Your game will thank you for it .

    Great, Big Control Piece

    For me, the Odyssey is a great piece that I like to go to when I need a bit less shape down lane. For as big as this ball is, it is very continuous and really creates a shape that compliments the other great pieces in the MOTIV lineup!

    It reads the mids when most other balls on the market will not, and still has the continuation to go through the pins incredibly well.

    Must have!

    Finally found that "magic" ball that just works

    I've tried quite a few different asymmetrical medium to heavy oil balls from different manufacturers. I don't throw a ton of revs but I throw a very consistent ball. Most of the other balls I have are usually only good for about a game and a half at the house I shoot at. This ball I was able to make some minor adjustments throughout the night and used it for all 3 games. Has really nice back end snap to it. Shot well above my average all 3 games.
