Trident Odyssey

4.8Read Reviews

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.

    Odyssey

    Looking at this ball tells me one thing, it hooks....a lot. This ball absolutely needs to be thrown in oil. I've only thrown a handful of shots with it so far but what I've seen I really like and this ball will be in the tournament bag for a long time. It gives me a very rounded shape that allows me to control the mid lane very well and it doesn't sacrifice continuation down lane which for me makes me think that I can chase this ball left before having to really jump out of it once transition starts. I think this will be a staple out of the bag on heavy patterns and then balling down to a Pride, Iron Forge, or a Shock depending on oil volumes.

    Smooth like butter

    The Trident Odyssey is easy to throw and blends the pattern beautifully. Strong enough to handle the higher volume of oil at my home house but works well on medium oil as well. I can keep it in the oil for a smooth look to the pocket or move inside and really get some nice shape. Great continuation from multiple lines on the lane.

    Great addition

    The Trident Odyssey has been the first ball out of my bag since it was released. Very versatile and responds well to surface changes. Great ball for heavier oil conditions.

    Trident Odyssey

    The Trident Odyssey is the newest ball added to the Trident line.   It has a strong cover and brings back the popular Turbulent core. The Trident Odyssey creates a lot of hook without giving away down lane motion. Designed to control the pocket in medium-heavy oil conditions, the Trident Odyssey is a great piece to add to anyone look for that controllable high end piece. This piece is great when a Jackal Ghost isn’t enough ball in the front of the lane and need something smoother for the back part of the lane.

    Strong, versatile, continuous, the Odyssey does it all

    I had an Odyssey drilled up because one of my leagues has a bit more oil volume and the back ends are not what you would call snappy. I was looking for a ball that would have no problem reading the mid lane and give me a roundish shape. The Odyssey exceeded my expectations in every way. I was able to play straighter angles up the 12 board to start and chase it left in league, using it for all 3 games with no problem. The strong and continuous motion made this ball very predictable and enjoyable to throw . The other thing I noticed was pin carry, it was absolutely shredding the rack and sending messengers flying. It's not very often that a ball impresses me enough that I consider stashing away another one for use down the road but this Trident has me considering that. I highly recommend this ball for med-heavy oil or houses that have slicker lanes.
