Trident

4.9Read Reviews

The Trident™ is the ultimate weapon for heavy oil and features MOTIV’s latest technology to provide massive hook potential.  Featuring the new Turbulent™ asymmetric core, the Trident™ explores a spec set no previous MOTIV release has targeted before.  This enables the ball to retain more energy and produce powerful continuation.  Coercion HVH (High Volume Hybrid) cover stock is also new technology.  It gives the Trident™ superb mid-lane read and an incredibly strong transition at the backend.  Tuned with a 3000 Grit LSS finish, this ball dominates on heavy oil.  The Trident is a heavy oil ball that offers massive hook potential and versatility.  Many league bowlers will find it playable on medium-heavy oil patterns too because it retains energy so well.

    About Me Bowling for 27 years casually.
    Rating 5.0
    300! Finally

    I have been bowling since I was 12. Did travel leagues as a teen and continued to bowl in casual leagues here and there throughout the years. Have used many different brands/balls over the years but have stuck with my Motiv Trident for the last 3 years. I am a 1 ball bowler. Strike ball, spare ball, heavy oil, light oil, you name it...one ball. I believe, if you cant make that ball work, you shouldn't bowl. (Just my personal thought)
    The Trident worked for me and finally, last week, I bowled my first 300! I love this ball and after using this Trident, I don't think I will go with any other brand other than Motiv.
    Thanks for making such a great ball.

    Trident

    One of my favorite balls I've ever thrown. The ball's appearance fits perfectly with the iconic Motiv design. The ball's motion itself is better than any of the other heavy rolling asymmetric solid balls I've thrown from other brands. This ball in comparison to other balls with similar specs has allowed me to open up the lane and play the inside line, which I've never been able to do with my stroker style of play. A great ball for your arsenal.

    My Motiv Rep is my coach

    Daren Look has been coaching me as a high school bowler for a few years now. He is not only the Motiv rep in our area, he also donates a significant amount of his time helping, not only me, but many of the youth bowlers in our town. Through Daren's coaching and using Motiv equipment, I have won a MHSAA Regional title, several Jr. Gold qualifer tournaments and have recently bowled a 300 game and a 796 seris (256, 240, 300) with my Motiv Trident.

    Daren\'s coaching has been a terrific help in improving my game. I now only use Motiv equipment in my game with great success. I dont know any other ball reps in the area who would take as much time to help our youth as Daren does.
