Villain Scorn

4.9Read Reviews

The new Villain™ Scorn is just plain vicious.  This asymmetric pearl turns heads and turns sideways on the back of the lane! Engineered for medium-heavy oil, it offers powerful core dynamics and the latest innovation in angular cover technology from MOTIV®.  

The Sinister™ weight block at the core provides the Villain™ Scorn with a higher RG to propel the angular cover down the lane and retain energy.  It also features a higher differential to yield massive track flare for enhanced ball motion.  And, as many have experienced with the original Villain, the asymmetric Sinister design offers great drilling versatility.  

Tuned with a 5000 Grit LSP finish, the pearl Villain™ Scorn features the latest Hexion™ SE Reactive cover technology. This Strength Enhanced (SE) Hexion™ shell provides great length with a fast and deliberate response to friction at the backend of the lane.

    Motivs new downlane monster

    Motiv’s new downlane monster is something that every bowler is going to want. The hexion cover wrapped around the sinister asymmetric core gives this ball so much punch downlane it’s ridiculous. Personally I picked one up for my house shot on Wednesday nights which happens to be on older wood lanes. This scorn comes off the outside dry extremely harder than anything else ive seen to this point. I’ve had countless questions about the ball to this point. Another absolute monster make from motiv that every bowler needs to have in there hands.

    Villain Scorn Review

    Review:

    The Villain Scorn is the latest release from MOTIV Bowling. This medium-heavy oil asymmetric pearl well definitely turn heads with the powerful, sideways motion down lane. The Villain Scorn brings back the Sinister weight block that gives the Scorn its angular motion down lane. We paired that with the latest Hexion cover stock technology the Hexion SE Reactive that provides fast response to friction. You want something that hooks and have angular motion down lane then the Villain Scorn is the ball for you.

    Comments:

    The OG Villain was my favorite ball this past season because I love the versatility it gave me on all conditions and still use still today. When the Scorn got announced, I was chopping at the bits to put some holes in it because I knew how good the OG Villain was, there was still something missing that I needed from it and I knew the Scorn will provide it. What I love about the Scorn is I love the length I get from it, especially when the lanes dried up, I feel I have the confidence that the Scorn will still come back the deeper I get. I love how much backend this ball has, that shape with my roll is always a good thing. Higher rev players will love this piece because I feel on fresh you can keep your angles straighter without starting too deep and just gradually move in as lanes transition. Medium to lower rev players will love the Scorn because I the length this piece gets when lanes start to break down around the track area.

    Likes: Strong angular motion; fast response on friction; retainable energy
    Dislikes: None

    I recommend the Villain Scorn to all types of bowlers.

    Review:
    I was very happy to see another Villain released by Motiv. With the new coming balance hole rules I think I will be leaning on Asymmetric balls more and more. Motiv has put a Hexion Pearl cover on a Sinister core and finished it to 5000. The goal was to create a ball with easy length and flip on medium to heavy patterns. The look of the ball in person is much better than pictures I have seen on line. Just like the last Villain we have seen many layouts used with great success. The Villain Scorn was surprisingly clean through the front part of the lane but when it came off the pattern it married very well to the friction. I did not see a sideways move as predicted but rather a strong drive off the spot. For me this motion is better because it is more forgiving and predictable. The Villain Scorn will be replacing my Quest in the bag because I feel it gives me better carry and versatility. It is kind of hard to say where this ball fits because it has a different shape than my other balls. I would have to put it between the Rogue Blade and Original Villain. So far this ball has worked great in one of the centers where they put down a thicker house shot. The Villain Scorn can easily be scuffed to create an earlier read of the lane. For a Pearl, the Scorn is very versatile on different patterns. The Villain Scorn’s carry is very good, probably due to the entry angle it creates. Light hits seem to splash around and fall quickly. I think Motiv has added a nice Asymmetric piece to the Villain line. As long as I can find a bit of friction I will see what this ball can do.



    Summary:
    The Villain Scorn adds a nice new shape to the Motiv line.
    This ball is smooth through the front with strong backend.
    The look, name and colors get the Scorn a lot of attention.
    If you liked the Quest I believe the Scorn is a nice upgrade.
    This ball is also a compliment to the original Villain.

    Sweet ball

    Picked this ball up on 11/7/18 and took coverstock to 1000. Used it in leagues for the very first time and shot 290-248-235 for a 773 series. This ball is a great compliment to the original Villain and I highly recommend this ball!

    Villain Scorn - Pearl asymmetric

    Motiv’s newest release is here and the Villain Scorn will certainly impress as the pearl asymmetric ball you have been looking for! The Sinister core provides you with a higher RG helping the angular Hexion SE coverstock get down the lane to really turn the corner towards the pins. The Villain Scorn is engineered for medium-heavy oil and fits the big over/under house shots or when the fronts start to dry out but you still need power and a fast response on the back of the lanes. This is just one of those instant favorite in my bag, you will want to pick one of these up at your local Pro Shop today!
