Trident Odyssey

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.

    Great ball, amazing carry

    I took a few years off from bowling then got back into it about 2 years ago. Finally updated some equipment and purchased this ball and shot a 767 my first series with it. Clean through the fronts and smooth arching. Liked this ball so much I ended up purchasing 2 more Motiv balls to replace the rest of my arsenal.

    Going on an Odyssey

    I drilled my Trident Odyssey to 60x 5 1/2 x 35. This was a test layout for me due to the fact that my val. angles are usually 20-25 & 40-45. I hadn't drilled a ball with a 5 1/2 pin to pap for a few years. I wasn't sure what to expect with this ball from the layout. Once I threw the ball, I was surprised at how early the ball ready on the lane, but it still had the same continuation as everything else in my bag. I took this ball to a tournament no planning for this ball to be my go-to, but because I didn't have a good look on the 38 Melbourne pattern with my tanks. I decided to try this ball at around 8 board and get the ball to 2. This was the best look I had all tournament and I eventually led the tournament at the end, but I came up short in the final match. This ball helps me blend out the tougher patterns when I can't get anything going.

    An absolute MONSTER in the oil

    This is my first ball from the Trident line and man did it not disappoint. When there is oil on the lanes this ball has one of the best backend motions I've seen. It's very strong but feels controllable at the same time. Once you find your line this ball can be extremely forgiving as well, rolling just long enough to catch the pocket if you throw it in but can also rev up STRONG if you throw it a little outside. If you need a more angular option for fresh/medium oil patterns this ball will definitely EARN it's way into your bag. I've only had it a few weeks and it's quickly becoming one of my top choices and I've already thrown some big games with it including a recent 289. The Trident Odyssey will impress with how it looks, feels, and performs all the way around.

    Get this ball in your bag

    The Trident Odyssey has quickly earned a spot in my bag. I usually swap out 2 or 3 balls each week but the Trident Odyssey won't be one to leave my bag unless I'm bowling on a short, low volume pattern. My first full game with this ball I shot 300! It's a controllable hook and great for getting reads in the lanes to make adjustments. The power this ball hits the pocket with is uncanny. 5 stars all day!

    Odyssey is my new love

    The new Odyssey has quickly become my new heavier volume love. Even though it’s of the stronger pieces in the line it still gives you that benchmark type reaction on the lane you love to see. I’m very impressed with how smooth and predictable the motion is, making this one of the most trusted balls that come out of the bag on a weekly basis, just never seems to over react and I know exactly what type of look I’m going to have. Of course this new odyssey has some beautiful color variation for bowlers who like to use that for rotation repetition, as well as packing that Motiv bowling punch at the pin deck. Another great add to the ball chart by the best company in bowling.
