Motiv Thrill Blue/Purple Pearl Bowling Ball

By Bryan Ramsey From Phillipsburg, NJ About Me Motiv Regional Staff What a THRILL, awesome length, backend pop The thrill is the perfect bang for your buck release bowlers should be looking for. This piece gives you incredible length, it's very smooth and still gives you that downlane energy for really solid pin action and carry. Overall I'd say the thrill is 4/5 boards weaker than the look my hydra would give me. If you bowl on older wood houses, or houses with a lot of friction to start, the thrill is the perfect piece you've been looking to add to that motiv arsenal. Don't hesitate to get yourself a THRILL, you will be kicking yourself if you don't. I would recommend this to a friend

After throwing the Thrill on "Summer League" patterns for the past 4 weeks, I think I have found my go to ball for the desert. It is the cleanest and smoothest ball in the Motiv lineup in my opinion. I have found that the Thrill is cleaner, smoother, and about 5 boards weaker than an identically drilled Hydra. This allows me to chase inside with the Hydra and then ball down and stay in the same zone when the Hydra starts to become to angular. Through testing, I hit the surface with a fresh 1000 and then followed with a worn 2000. This gave the ball more of a matte finish. When testing this surface, I had a ball that would follow right below the Venom Shock. Still cleaner than a Shock, but within 3 boards overall. The Thrill is a very versatile ball with a very economical price. Elliott Askey Motiv Staff

The Thrill is made for when front part of the lane is drying up and you need something that is going to get down the lane, store energy, and give you a controllable motion on the backend. The new Flux weight block has a high RG to create that length and a low differential to give you predictable backend hook. These specs combined with the new Agility XP cover stock compliment each other well making it a great ball for dry lanes. Also, this ball comes in Wine/Magenta pearl and Blue/Purple pearl colors which looks great going down the lane! Motiv Staff Tyler Lewis

The Thrill is Motiv's new low end piece. Even though it's low end this ball still offers a ton of motion and versatility at its price point. I ended up drilling Both Red and Blue Thrills with two different layouts and they both made a spot in the bag. I used a 5.5' layout on the Blue one and it lets me open up the lanes but not get to flippy when they start to burn up I end up throwing it on most house patterns. The Red one I used a 1' layout and it let's me start with straighter angles and follow it left. Both ball compliment each other really well. The Thrill is a great piece if you bowl on a lot of friction or are a rev dominant player! So be sure to check it out! Motiv Staffer: Sean Mackie
