The Primal Fear is the newest pearl release from Motiv. I wanted to wait to review this ball. In the past I have not had a whole lot of success with the Impulse V2 core. When I decided to drill this ball I went to drill this ball to the strengths of the ball. I used a 50 X 4.75 X 40 drill with this. Putting the pin above the middle finger and the cg just to the right of the grip line.
My hope was to have a ball that skipped through the front portion of the lane, not over read the middle and then make the corner. For the first time with the Impulse V2 core I have found a ball that didn't over read the motion down lane. It is my belief this cover/core combination is the best of all the Primal balls yet. What I found with the Original Red ball was to much down lane motion. The Remix seemed to roll of the spot not enough. The Fear seems to fit perfectly between these two. Basically it feels like combination of these two balls.
The Fear allows me to start a little further left than the Remix did, needs less angle to the pocket than the Red ball. When the Fear sees the dry down lane the ball doesn't jump off the dry as hard as the Red ball and is a stronger motion than the Remix was. This ball has gone straight to the Tourney bag for me, When Stronger balls seem to be reading to much "Havoc, Trident, GT" the Fear is a good fit to jump too. If you are needing a strong pearl ball with hard motion down lane. This is the ball that will allow you to start with shallow angles through the front and chase the angles in.
