Trident Quest

The Trident Quest is the culmination of extensive cover stock research conducted to create a violent and angular response to friction.  Perfectly tuned for medium-heavy oil conditions, the asymmetric pearl Trident Quest is a remarkably aggressive ball.

The asymmetric Turbulent™ weight block is at the center of the Trident Quest.  While other weight blocks were tested, this Turbulent™ design proves to be the most versatile with drillings and demonstrates impressive agility at the backend of the lane.

But what really sets the new Trident Quest performance apart is new Hexion™ Reactive cover stock.  It represents the latest technology from Motiv®.  This fast response skid-flip shell slips easily through the front of the lane to deliver an incredibly violent backend snap. 

The Trident Quest is tuned at the factory for medium-heavy oil with a 5000 Grit LSP finish, but the dark purple and blue pearl cover can easily be scuffed to provide traction in heavier volumes of oil.

    Versatility you would have never thought about!

    This ball is one of those that either takes you a game or two to figure out, but once you do...Jackpot. As its name states, it is a trident QUEST...In your quest to find the perfect reaction on the lanes, this ball can work on almost any pattern. To me, I can throw 3 different angles off my track. At 15 degrees has control, at 45 degrees flushes 9 of 10 shots, and at 60+ degrees gives me the push and for transition and backend that I need!

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Great ball for traditional house pattern

    I purchased this ball at the start of 2018 and have since bowled two 800's and recently my best series of 857. This ball is very consistent, having a smooth arch with a strong backend. I would recommend this ball for someone who consistently can throw the ball above 15mph, however could support a down and in player or a cranker. The only thing I need now is a Motiv ball that complements this one, needing a ball for dryer lanes.

    The Trident Quest

    Drilled up Trident Quest 45X4X65 this ball in Motiv line gives me great reaction on medium to oily conditions. Quest reads the front part of lane early and aggressive thru midlane. Once the Quest gets through midlane. The Turbulent weight block make Quest continuous through brake point. And drives the pin back into pin deck. This is great ball that complements the original Trident. I discovered once my original Trident reaction stops carrying pins I can go to Quest stay in same position on lane without moving board left or right. Overall Motiv has done it again great Asymmetrical ball for any bowler who loves game bowling !

    Skid/flip at it's finest

    This ball has an awesome reaction as advertised. Drilled mine 70x5x70 after having a lot of success with that layout with the Venom Shock. I've had it less than a month and shot 300 with it last week. Ball has a very violent backend and covers more boards than some of my stronger Motiv equipment. It moves very clean through the heads. Very happy with this ball.
