My Motiv Tribal: Drilled same as my Primal Rage Pin 1 inch above ring finger / CG 2 inches below ring finger

The Tribal is another great addition to follow the Primal Rage. Both the Tribal and the Primal Rage share the same cover the Fusion Pearl Reactive but in the Tribal the core is light blub core which is a first for a MOTIV ball. So you may ask what will be the difference.
The Tribal is much cleaner in the fronts than the Rage and more versatile than I was expecting, I have been able to open the lane and still get it back.

The cover is 2000 grit with Motiv Power Gel for shine. If you bowl in an older center or a center with high friction I would suggest taking the cover up to 4000 and use Power Gel to get through the mids.

Conditions I have used the Tribal on: 2013 USBC National’s, Yellow Brick Rd, Bourbon Street and various house/modified house shots.

Where it fits in my bag: It's now the second most angular ball in my bag and fits under my Primal Rage when that is hooking too much.

When I use it: Typically I start with my Primal Rage and when it is hooking too much and I need a ball that will get down lane and control the back ends I use the Tribal. That seems to be the start/middle of game 2 A THS. On a sport pattern I will take it one around game 3-4
