Motiv Trident Quest Bowling Ball

This ball is one of those that either takes you a game or two to figure out, but once you do...Jackpot. As its name states, it is a trident QUEST...In your quest to find the perfect reaction on the lanes, this ball can work on almost any pattern. To me, I can throw 3 different angles off my track. At 15 degrees has control, at 45 degrees flushes 9 of 10 shots, and at 60+ degrees gives me the push and for transition and backend that I need! Sandro Perrino MOTIV Staff - International

The Trident Quest Drilled up Trident Quest 45X4X65 this ball in Motiv line gives me great reaction on medium to oily conditions. Quest reads the front part of lane early and aggressive thru midlane. Once the Quest gets through midlane. The Turbulent weight block make Quest continuous through brake point. And drives the pin back into pin deck. This is great ball that complements the original Trident. I discovered once my original Trident reaction stops carrying pins I can go to Quest stay in same position on lane without moving board left or right. Overall Motiv has done it again great Asymmetrical ball for any bowler who loves game bowling !

Quest Trident Quest.... What does this ball do. The Quest seems to be a strong heavy roll with all out hook potential. My initial thoughts on this ball varied from all out wow too oh boy what did I get myself into. I drilled this ball with the same lay out I have on the OG Trident. 60 X 4.75 X 70, Places the pin below the middle finger, mass bias about an inch or so from the thumb. My issue with most Asymmetrical balls is they do not have the continuation, lots of over under for the most part. This layout seems to really help me negating the over under. What I found initially thought was the ball would not make the corner and seemed to lag off the spot down lane. I thought this was going to be another over under dud. Now decision time, Do I call it a day and self the idea of Asymmetrical's working for me. Nah! Time to put a P3 hole in this and see what happens. The P3 hole was a savor for this ball. Now what I see with the Quest is a heavy rolling pearl that is more controllable and has over all motion through out the lane. The Quest is one of the strongest pearls I have thrown in a while, I would say this is a good 5 boards stronger than the new Lethal with more overall shape. Mid lane traction with the heavy rolling core is no issue and as of yet I have not seen enough wax to really scare this ball. I have always been a fan of big hook pearls as they have a look my eyes like better than big hook solids. I think this addition is a welcomed addition to the line up as those who like Asymmetrical balls will sure like this ball. The cover has a strong motion down lane and the core makes for easy revving. Anyone who is looking for a truly strong pearl should highly consider adding this to their arsenal. C Mohr Motiv Staff

For those of you looking for a skid flip reaction out of a high performance core...Then the Trident Quest is the ball for you. The Hexion Pearl cover creates just the right amount of skid in the front part of the lane. Then the core begins to take over and creates a perfect amount of backend reaction. This has been my go to ball since its release. The core is very driller friendly and can be drilled to give you a wide variety of ball motion. My 35 x 5 ½ x 75 layout allows me to begin the set left of most of my competition and as they begin to dry out I can seamlessly change to my 70 x 5 ½ x 40 layout as this layout clears the fronts with easy and creates a huge move at the break point. This is the best Asymmetric Pearl in the market today. Dan Knowlton Bowlaholics Pro Shop Motiv Staff #EARNIT

Ball Specs Core Turbulent RG 2.49 Differential .054 Coverstock Hexion Bowler Specs PAP 4 1/2 over 1 1/4 up Rev Rate 525 Speed 18mph Trident Quest is the latest HP ball in the Motiv line. The new Quest use the same core from the original trident and pairs it with the new hexion cover. This is the newest and cleanest cover that motiv has used to date. This allows the Quest to easily get through the front part of and create much more down lane motion than the original trident. With a low RG core and very clean and responsive cover the Quest is the most angular ball Motiv has made. For me the Quest is about three feet longer and about five boards stronger down lane then the original trident. In tournaments this ball will come out of the bag during the transition period once the trident or ghost starts to hook to soon. For people who bowl league on higher friction surfaces or are looking for something to go to as the lanes breakdown this will be the perfect ball to add to your arsenal. For tournament bowlers the Quest will be great on longer or higher volume patterns once the front part of the lane starts to hook. Anyone who is looking for a angular HP ball should look no further than the Trident Quest! Kris Rogers Motiv Regional Staffer Genesis Pro Staff PBA Regional Champion

Motiv Trident Quest Being older presents many challenges when competing on higher volume oil patterns- Yes ball speed is reduced as we get older but finding the right piece to not push past the break point on the longest of patterns is always a difficult task. I find myself migrating more and more right physically pointing the ball versus realizing the full potential of the balls power. If you are like me you need a ball that give you're a competitive edge. The new Motiv Trident Quest is that ball. Its new Hexion cover provides that needed recovery and helps to open up my angles on even the heaviest of oil patterns. The turbulent weight block provides the needed reaction and continuation you tend to lose as the ball accelerates down the lane due to heavy oil patterns. Opening up the lanes and increasing the miss area is something the Quest allows you to do. If you need something that gives you mid lane reading with a strong back end reaction the Quest is the ball for you! The 7+ " flare potential helps to assure your ball will be rolling over a clean surface on the ball each time down the lane thus providing much more consistent reaction. Don't miss your chance to own one of the best medium- heavy oil balls on the market! Motiv Trident Quest is that good! Rick Zakrajsek Motiv Staff-Ohio www.Motivbowling.com

Ball Specs: Motiv Trident Quest Cover stock – Hexion Pearl Reactive 5000 LSP Asymmetric Core Layout 45 X 4 x 50 Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 4-3/4 Over 1/4 Up Rev Rate 250. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed off hand 18 Review: The Trident Quest features a new cover stock from Motiv. It is a new development to help the ball glide through the front part of the lane then provide increased friction in the back. The new Hexion cover really increases entry angle. The Turbulent Weight block paired with this shell creates a very strong Asymmetric ball. The Quest gives bowlers a good amount of hook that is angular with a reliable motion. I took this ball to a tournament recently, (the Hoinke) where the center part of the lane is dry and outside of 7 was out of bounds. I was able to move deeper even with my lower rev rate and carry the 10 pin easily. I am right handed. The Quest fits above my Original purple Paranoia and under my Ghost in my lineup. The Quest was a rare occurrence where a Motiv ball actually hooked less than I expected. I guess since I know how strong the original Trident is, I was expecting a lot of total boards. This shows how much a cover can change ball motion even on the same core. I have drilled a good number of these now with all styles having good success. I have been very happy with how well it fits the game of the higher rev players. It seems that this is an Asymmetric the rev dominate players in my area can have great success with. I tested the Quest with box surface and then wet sanded it to 2000. The ball maintained its back end angle with the rougher surface even though it hooked more in total boards. The Quest looks great and will be a great addition to any arsenal. Summary: The Trident Quest gives easy length with strong flip. This ball is a good fit for any style. The Quest is very versatile for an Asymmetric Pearl. The Quest is a powerful match of new core and cover technology. Glenn Wendel PBA Member Motiv Staff

Review: The Trident Quest is the latest release from MOTIV Bowling. The New Trident Quest introduces the new Hexion cover stock technology. This fast response skid flip cover stock makes the Trident Quest get through the front part of the lane fairly easy and will give bowlers the most violent backend reaction you will ever see in a pearl bowling bowling. Along with the Hexion cover stock, MOTIV brings back the asymmetric Turbulent core will give MOTIV fans versatility when it comes to drilling patterns and still get the most out of this beast of a bowling ball. Get the new Trident Quest at your local pro shop today, you won't be disappointed. Weight Block Turbulent Cover Stock Hexion Reactive Finish 5000 Grit LSP Comments: First world comes to mind when throwing the Trident quest for the first time was speechless. MOTIV hit a walk off grand slam with the Hexion cover stock. Never have I seen a pearl bowling ball so clean through the fronts and have such violent backend reaction. MOTIV fans or bowling fans in general need this bowling ball in their bag, you will not be disappointed. What I love is that I can play multiple parts of the lane and not feel out of place. I can play straighter angles on flatter conditions or open of the lane as lanes break down and strike at will. You want something that will go long and violent back ends through the pins then this is the piece for you. Lower rev players will have something now that they can feel comfortable throwing when they have to open up the lane and get out of their comfort zone and still continue to strike. Medium to higher rev players like I stated earlier will have no problem playing multiple angles and when need be get in and throw it out and watch it come back. I recommend this bowling ball for all types of bowlers. MOTIV Staff Player, John Robertson www.motivbowling.com

Wow is the first word that comes to mind when I first threw the Trident Quest. This is a ball motion every bowler needs in their bag. The strong asymmetrical cover with the new Hexion cover is a deadly combo. The Quest is cleaner and more responsive than the original Trident. I've liked the Quest best on house patterns or when I need to go left to right and still have strong down lane continuous motion. Overall it fits right between my original Trident and my Jackal Ghost. As with all MOTIV balls the Quest took great to a little surface change to 3000 and smoothed it out and created more overall hook potential. Tim Mayer, MOTIV Staff, Turbo Staff

If your looking for a strong clean pearl asym? This is the ball to get!

Layout: 65 x 4 ¾ x 40 The next step in MOTIV's coverstock technology has arrived: the Quest is on. The Trident Quest follows up the original Trident by using the steady Turbulent core (2.49RG, .054Diff) but takes a radical departure in its reaction thanks to the brand new Hexion reaction coverstock (finished at 5000LSP). This new cover brings back the length and backend reaction not fully seen since the Fusion Pearl reactive coverstock first used on the Primal Rage. I drilled mine for length with backend snap and that is exactly what I received. Even with the stronger core the Quest glides through the fronts easily. In the mids you can see the ball starting to read but you do not see it starting to bleed any energy, it still keeps pushing down the lane towards the breakpoint. Once friction is found a pronounced, sharp motion is produced thereby allowing the ball to enter the pocket at steeper angles. While I have had to keep my lines in front of me to start on a fresh house shot, I have been able to continue moving left as the lanes break down without any hesitation; not yet have I found 'too far left' to be in this ball's vocabulary during a typical league set. Anytime I can project the ball through oil to friction, the response and left turn impresses me. Simply put, the Trident Quest is Medium-Heavy to Medium skid-snap.
