Meet Origin EX—the next chapter in the Origin series, built to conquer high-friction lanes with smooth control. Powered by the same revolutionary Ellipse A.I. Core, this ball pairs dual-procession core technology with a brand-new solid coverstock tested by our top in-house athletes. The result is one of our cleanest covers yet, engineered to clear the fronts with ease and deliver a smooth, predictable backend motion. And with its asymmetrical core, you’ll still get the punch off the breakpoint—without the sharp, unpredictable moves.
While the color combination may turn heads, it’s not just for looks. This precise color blend was selected through extensive performance testing and has proven to yield the best response when paired with the new RB 89 solid coverstock formula. It’s not about standing out—it’s about staying in the pocket. If you bowl in a high-friction environment or need something that won’t jump off your hand, Origin EX gives you that perfect balance of front-lane clearance and reliable continuation.
Introducing the Sublime Focus—a meticulously engineered symmetric option designed to dominate medium to heavier oil conditions. Building on the success of the original Sublime, this ball features the new Reserve Blend 804 Solid Reactive coverstock, finished with a 2000-Grit Abralon for ultimate traction and control. At its core, the Immersed Symmetric A.I. Core continues to push the boundaries of innovation, delivering consistent, powerful motion through the pins. Handcrafted with precision, the Sublime Focus is your go-to ball for those challenging lanes where focus and performance meet.
The newest predator in the vicious Jackal line, the Jackal Ambush will catch opponents off guard with its strength and control of its environment. This ultra-strong beast pushes the boundaries of ball motion and hook in oil, providing a smooth and controlled ball motion, even in the heaviest concentrations. The Jackal Ambush allows you to go on the hunt, knowing that you have the strength behind you to dominate.
The Jackal Ambush introduces the release of a brand new cover stock system; Leverage Solid Reactive. Leverage is formulated to be smoother down lane and stronger in the oil than the Coercion cover stock systems previously used for this ball motion. This is the most aggressive cover stock system ever developed in the MOTIV ball line.
Paired with this new system is the proven Predator V2 core. Used in the legendary Jackal Ghost and the Alpha Jackal used by Wesley Low to shoot 900, the Predator V2 is ideal in heavy oil conditions when a high performance, asymmetrical core is necessary. The low RG and high differential give a fast spinning and dynamic core design, capable of huge amounts flare.
Brace yourself— a lethal dose of Venom is coming. The Venom line, already legendary, introduces the latest game-changer, the Lethal Venom. This wicked new addition offers the predictable and smooth motion you loved from the Venom Recoil but dials it up with the latest cutting-edge technology. Leverage MXC coverstock with Duramax technology pairs with the asymmetrical Gear APG core for a deadly combination.
At the heart of the Lethal Venom is the Gear APG asymmetrical core, and it’s an absolute powerhouse. With a fast-spinning low RG of 2.47, a controllably low differential of .036, and an intermediate differential of .013 — this core strikes the perfect balance of control and versatility. What does that mean for you? It’s like having the precision of the original Gear core from the Venom Shock—but on steroids. The Gear APG lets you adapt and attack the lanes with confidence.
Now, let’s talk coverstock—the Lethal Venom features the same Leverage MXC Solid Reactive cover originally found on the Subzero Forge. That means the Lethal Venom is the first Venom to contain the game-changer of Duramax additive technology! This means that the cover will hold its surface longer, have better traction in the oil, create a smooth down-lane motion, and allow for maximum control. This isn’t just innovation—it’s domination.
The Pride™ line has come roaring back stronger and ready to take on even more oil than before. The Pride Dynasty from MOTIV® is a stronger, more controllable solid ball intended to serve as a benchmark in a modern bowling environment. With a massive cover upgrade and a unique asymmetric core, the Pride Dynasty is not just ready to take on any conditions; it’s here to conquer them!
Unleash the ferocity of new Leverage™ MFS Solid Reactive coverstock technology! Never before has the Leverage cover technology been used for a medium oil ball. This technology is much stronger in oil and more controlled than previous covers found in the Pride line. On medium oil conditions, Leverage MFS gives that same smooth, commanding breakpoint motion as other Leverage shells such as those found on the Black Venom and Jackal Ambush.
At its heart lies the Dominion™ asymmetrical core. This beast displays a moderate primary RG differential and low intermediate that allows the Pride Dynasty to dominate on medium oil volumes and higher friction surfaces. Where more extreme asymmetric cores, such as the Predator core found in the Jackal line, would be too overpowering, the Dominion core thrives. Additionally, the asymmetric physics provides ball drillers with greater layout versatility since weight holes are no longer allowed in competition.
Introducing the ice-cold devastation of the new Subzero Forge. This latest beast in the Forge line is a force of nature, combining the proven power of the Detonator core with the traction of Leverage MXC Solid Reactive coverstock. The outcome is inevitable: pins left shattered and your competition frozen in fear. Embrace the cold and conquer the lanes with the Subzero Forge.
At the heart of the Subzero Forge is the Detonator core, a formidable combination of low RG and high differential. This dynamic duo offers unparalleled control and traction. The fast-spinning low RG provides unparalleled control, while the high differential delivers the raw strength needed to plow through the heaviest oil like a glacier carving its path. The Detonator is a proven winner, relentless on higher volumes of oil.
Paired with this powerful core is the Leverage MXC Solid coverstock, enhanced with the Duramax™ additive. This isn’t just another coverstock; it’s an incredibly strong surface that maintains its texture longer than any before. You’ll feel the ice-cold precision of the Evoke, but with an updated ferocity that true MOTIV enthusiasts will recognize as the Forge Flare’s fierce evolution.
The Top Thrill line is developed for premium performance on dry lanes.
The Halogen V2 core returns for these two Top Thrills as it is perfect for performance in light oil. It combines a slow-spinning high RG core for easy length and a lower differential to provide 2-3 inches of track flare potential. The moderately low differential allows for a clear progression within the MOTIV product line, stepping down from balls intended for medium-dry lanes.
The Top Thrill Solid uses Turmoil XP2 Solid coverstock to provide easy length, yet also a smooth and continuous motion. Additionally, the finish of the Top Thrill Solid is set with performance in mind. The 4000 Grit LSS finish allows for easy length, but without a violent down lane motion. Control with resin on dry lanes is the purpose of the Top Thrill Solid.
Since their conception back in 2016, the Hustle Series of bowling balls has provided outstanding performance above and beyond the retail price. From the 34th sanctioned 900 Series by the Hustle™ INK, to countless TV appearances over the years on both the PBA & PWBA Tours. The various versions of Hustle’s have provided consistent reactions time and time again.
And while the inner Hustle Core has remained the same since day one, it’s the different variations of the VTC™ (Versatile Traction Control) Coverstock – Solid, Pearl & Hybrid, that have kept this line viable on those Light to Medium Oil conditions for every level of bowler from the first timers, all the way up to the pros.
Built for everyone, period. From the casual bowler to Major title winners at the highest level of the sport, the entire Hustle series provides advanced technologies that work for anyone and everyone. So, whether you are looking for a specific reaction to fit in your current arsenal on lighter oil conditions, or looking to get your very first ball, there is a Hustle that is just right for you!
After countless months of research and development, and after multiple tests and discussions with players of all skill levels, the Roto Grip ROCKSTAR provides a new motion and reaction for both the competitive player ranks and the advanced player ranks to shred and rock on those Medium to Heavy Oil Conditions.
Offering new state-of-the-art technology in both the coverstock material and weight block shape design, the ROCKSTAR was developed to provide greater versatility on more oil conditions and lane surfaces than previous HP3 level balls since there have been plenty of advancements in the world of lane maintenance and lane surfaces in recent years.
The new NanoStar™ coverstock material is Roto Grip’s latest nanotechnology remix. This union of nano particles mixed with new chemistry provides similar traction in the midlane to that of our legendary MicroTrax™ material. However, the difference you will easily see is that the NanoStar™ material does not dig into the lane as early as MicroTrax™, it generates more responsiveness to friction down lane in terms of nanotechnology materials. In other words, breaking it down a little more for you… NanoStar is not as early as MicroTrax, and it’s not as clean and responsive as our eTrax™, eTrax PLUS™, or eTrax ULTRA™ materials. Therefore, it fills the gap between MicroTrax™ and eTrax™.
Showcased at the center of it all you will find our newly developed weight block shape that is destined for greatness, known as the ROCKER Core. Its authentic shape encapsulated in A.I. Core technology provides a more centralized rotation plane to better provide more continuation through the pin deck. As always, the Roto Grip team of R&D rockstars aim to develop weight block shapes that perform for bowlers of all skill levels not just the ones you see on TV. Meaning, the ROCKER Core is no different, it was designed for the masses. Let’s just say, the combination of amplified power and amplified motion results in sheer amplified awesomeness.
So, if you are indeed ready to rock, then look no further, ROCKSTAR is here and ready to make you famous!
A long time ago in a bowling center far, far away…the world of bowling entered a new level of ball reaction unrest. There were countless oil conditions which added to the complexity of the game. During this revolution very few centers of bowling chose to follow the path of slicker conditions, while the greatest number of centers chose the path of less volume and less length which created more overall friction.
During that time frame, Roto Grip elected to develop bowling orbs that cleared the front of the lane more easily to combat those higher friction conditions and higher friction lane surfaces to better serve the bowling republic.
More recently, however, the cries for help have echoed loudly from all around the bowling galaxy. Those cries for help all requesting greater traction with asymmetrical power to combat and fend off those heavier and longer oil conditions. So, they enlisted the help of our R&D Troops to lead this mission to restore the peace against the oil rebellion.
They wasted little time in tossing their research efforts into HYPERDRIVE to create what was needed for the masses in both the competitive and advanced levels of bowling games. In reviewing their current roster of asymmetric bowling orbs, the team of R&D troopers found that they were in fact in dire need of a more advanced propulsion block encapsulated in our MicroTrax coverstock traction system.
It was determined during this intergalactic review process that the best block to insert into their A.I. Core technology was in fact the RST (Roto Star Tour) block design. The combination of this singular density asymmetric shape encapsulated inside of an A.I. Core created an ideal amount of accelerated spin and torque thus leading to greater propulsion, thus resulting in the name HYPERDRIVE being given to this beautiful galactic bowling orb.
So, as you find yourself battling the sinister lane man at your local bowling establishment, may you find yourself at peace with the assistance of the HYPERDRIVE to combat and destroy those heavier and longer oil conditions.
