    Explosive..Truly a statement ball in the Line.

    This is a follow up to my TX1 review from 2017. Still using this beauty of a ball. I bowled my first 300 game with my TX1. April 15th, 2019. Needless to say I've added many more Motiv balls to my arsenal. T10, Rogue Assassin & Venom Shock. Thank you for continuing to make amazing products.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    What a Ball!!

    I've had this ball for years and never really used it until recently. I bowl 3 nights a week and currently holding a 200 average across the 3 leagues. I didn't know when and where to use the ball because I knew nothing about it. It is the only Motiv ball, I own. I pulled it out because I recognized I had no league games on this ball, only rolled it in practice and couldn't figure it out. I have fallen in love with this ball, which prompted me to come to the Motiv website and look up this ball. Over the past few weeks, it has been my ball of choice in my leagues and I have had much better success with it over my more aggressive equipment. It finishes tremendously and drives thru the pocket and carriers the corner pins, which has always been a problem for me. I'm on the site now looking for a comparable ball to the TX1, because I need another similar ball in my life. I've shot 650 or better over the past 3 weeks using the TX1. I need to know what ball is similar to it, so I can get it. I'd buy another one knowing it is a retired ball.
