The brand new MOTIV® Top Thrill™ takes high friction performance to a new level! This latest advancement for dry lanes offers a boosted core and brand new coverstock, a significant step up from the original Thrill™ models in both core and coverstock technology. The Top Thrill™ provides bowlers with more options for attacking drier lanes and higher friction lane surfaces. Developed as a dry lane complement to the Infusion™ reactive cover, the Turmoil™ XP shell provides as much down lane shape with less traction in the oil to allow for use on dry lanes. When Infusion™ reactive balls are too strong, the Top Thrill™ will be a great option for even the most competitive bowlers. The Flux™ core in the original Thrill™ is replaced in the Top Thrill™ with a modified Halogen™ core previously found in higher performance Motiv® bowling balls. The new Halogen™ V2 has a slightly higher RG than the original with a lower differential. The Halogen™ V2 is uniquely suited for dry lanes, but with a strong enough core to allow for more angles of play and significantly more versatility in drilling options. When To Use: Speed Dominant Bowlers: When speed dominant bowlers encounter conditions so scorched that they need a dry lane ball, it’s important to have one that is developed for performance. The Top Thrill is developed to provide shape on dry lanes, not just deliver at the cheapest price or just be the prettiest ball on the wall. Balanced Bowlers: For balanced bowlers, a dry lane ball is an important part of a tournament arsenal. Low volume oil patterns and high friction surfaces necessitate balls with higher rg’s and lower differentials. The Top Thrill is designed to fit in a competitive bowler’s progression just below the Venom and Supra line. Rev Dominant Bowlers: For bowlers with exceptionally low speed or high rev rates, the Top Thrill allows manageable angles on normal house patterns and sport shots. A rev dominant bowler so often is forced to play much deeper with steep angles even on house shots due to their ball speed to rev rate ratio. The Top Thrill solves that problem.

I absolutely love my Motiv Top Thrill bowling ball. I love this ball for when the lanes are dry or the patterns are shorter because the ball allows me to stay to the right and play in my comfort zone. Layout: 55x5.5x80 This puts the pin below my middle ringer allowing the ball to go longer with a very smooth reaction. I would recommend having this ball for tournaments with long blocks or when bowling league on a very dry house shot. Motiv Staff Member Nathan Reid Brookpark, OH

The top thrill is a great entry level ball or a ball for someone looking to conquer dry lane conditions. The combination of the Turmoil™ XP Pearl Reactive cover stock and Halogen V2 Symmetric core allow any player to stay in the friction longer and play straighter angles without having to move into deeper parts of the lane. With the first top thrill I drilled, I put my base layout on the ball with the hopes of it giving me the ability to stay in the track area at my local high friction center, and I was able to do just that. I would definitely recommend this ball to anyone looking for a ball to use in high friction, or tournament bowlers to have as a lower end ball in their arsenal.
