MOTIV Octane - FAST response to Friction (Video link included)

[Mappa]

The Octane is one special ball! A new hybrid cover wrapped around the tried and true Quadfire core (previously featured in the Q & Thrash series balls). The Octane has the fastest response to friction of any ball that I’ve thrown. What does this mean? I can move deeper with more confidence than ever before. It is designed for Medium oil, but for my game I use it most often when I need to chase the oil line on longer sport patterns at the end of the block. When there is friction out on the lane, this ball has some of the best hook potential of any ball I’ve got, all on the back end.

Here is the video I’ve made demonstrating the Octane. In the video, I graphically compare the ball motion with 6 other MOTIV balls… The Ascent Pearl, Ascent Apex, Venom Shock, Tribal, Primal Rage & Cruel Intent.



If you are looking for a ball on short oil patterns, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this piece. It will see that friction and jump… after all – that’s what it’s designed to do! You’d want to look for a ball that is smoother off the spot. But, when the conditions are right – the Octane is the difference maker… the ball that makes it look like I have the whole lane, when everyone else is struggling. In essence, think of it this way – when the Octane sees oil, it skids – a lot. When it sees friction, it hooks – a lot. There are times when any competitive bowler needs an Octane. Or if you just bowl league and you like to see that skid/flip shape, this ball is just what you’re looking for.

Looks like motive is figuring things out!!

After looking at the video what is the difference between the primal, cruel intent, and the octane the lines look very similar all are pearls. I know they are saying medium oil on the octane but how many med hevy oil hook monsters do you need at the same basic price point

I can't wait to drill a couple of these up. Plus looking forward to the Tribal Fire when it comes out
