Be prepared to #FreakOut with the Motiv Paranoia. This brightly marked ball looks good on the lanes both reaction wise and color wise; it really pops on the lane. This ball combines two brand new technologies in the Agitator Pearl Reactive coverstock (finished at 5500 Grit LSP) wrapping around the Oblivion core (2.53RG, .047Diff). Built as a controllable upgrade from the original Octane, this ball fits very nicely into the Medium Oil-Angular motion chart slot. On the fresh this ball is super clean, saving its energy for a very strong, yet predictable, backend motion. I do have to be square and go up the lane with it as friction is its friend, but the read this ball gives and the continuation through the pin deck is superb on this sort of line. As the lanes burned up I am able to jump left…and left…and left with this ball showing no quite. The glide through the heads stores up enough energy for a quick transition at the breakpoint allowing the Paranoia to be used with larger angles later in the day. My second game out of the box with this ball was 290. I have also sanded this down to 2000 grit so that I could be more aggressive earlier and I have not found disappointment. This added texture allows the ball to hook a couple of feet sooner but not so much so as to burn up any breakpoint energy. I get a better midlane read without sacrificing a quicker transition or driving power. A sanded Paranoia and an out of box one can be a dangerous one-two punch in medium conditions that easily burn. Over all if you need a medium oil, quick responding ball that gives you control and power through the pins, look now further than the Paranoia!
