PAP-5 over, 1/4" up
The Motiv Primal Scream is designed for medium to heavy oil
patterns according to Motiv. The ball is as advertised It
pushes through the heads on fresh shots as well as when the
heads get thin. The ball revs up very late in the mid lanes
and make a strong short transition move at the end of the
pattern. The core/cover combo requires me to move deeper
because of the angularity of the move. I am normally somone
who keeps the ball in front of me so this took me out of my
comfort zone. But, it worked as I understood it would. It
slides in oil and reads the friction quickly. The Core of
the Ball, the V2 Impluse, revs late in the lanes and creates
a lot of flair. I have to have friction right, but those who
are not as rev/speed challenged as this old man may be able
to use in on heavier volumes and lengths. If I tug the ball
into the soup the ball skates. I had to do a good amount of
adjusments with both drilling and surface prep, but once I
found my matchup, it definetly becomes a tournament ball for
me. I think it will be a great match up for me later in long
format tournaments on The Primal Scream lets me know when to
put it away as it will start leaving weak 10's and 7's on
hits that look good, as well as getting into an area of
over/under.
If you use this ball as designed, that is on medium oil
patterns of volume or length as a skid/snap reaction, it will
be a very effective ball. To throw it on a burnt conditions
will require a healthy polish but the higher RG should make
it easier to get down the lane. With the Primal Scream
Motiv has a piece of equipment to give a ball reaction that
is disappearing from the marketplace and did not occur at all
in the Motiv line.
I'm very colorblind but the Neomark Graphic makes the ball
very pleasing to the eye and give it good shelf appeal.
