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.
