Review of the RX1

My Information:Ball Speed- 16mph avg.,Rev Rate-275rpm's avg.,
Axis Rotation-45 Degrees,Axis Tilt-15 Degrees,Right-handed.

Specs of ball tested:Top Weight-2.9 oz.,3"pin,Box Surface-4000
grit wet/sand,

Drilling:Pin over middle finger,5 3/4",Cg 4 3/4' from PAP,No X-Hole.

Lanes:Brunswick Anvilane,Wood lanes,

The all new MOTIV Recon core has a higher RG and a moderate Diff.,
that helps get the RX1 down the lane.

Matched up with the milder MOTIVator-X coverstock from the
SX1 and the TX1 will complement the core.

The shocking orange color is turning heads,and causing people to
ask what you are throwing.

I have not thrown a ball this mild in a long time.Especially a ball
that was not urethane.
Other reactives that are supposed to go long are too skid flip.The
RX1 is all about control and roll.

On Dry Lanes and Second Shift House Shots

The RX1 gave me very good length throughout the heads and mids.
At the exit point to the breakpoint,the RX1 was clean and mild.
When the RX1 hit the breakpoint there was no sign of flip,
only a very mild arc.The cover and core helps lesson the response
off the dry.

For me playing dry lanes without having to move past third arrow
was great.Being able to stand at 25 and releasing the ball off my
hand at 20,and not having to target deeper than 15 on the lane,
helped me stay more square to the target,and not have to make
diagonal moves.The moves were mostly parallel adjustments.

On a Fresh House Shot:41' and very dry outside the 7th board.

This ball was surprising.The RX1 allowed me me stand right and
roll it right up 5-6.The RX1 cleared the heads and mids without ever
wanting to stand up early.When it it the breakpoint,on the fresh
house shot,there was no sign of the RX1 ever wanting to jump.

The RX1 is what a entry level ball should be."Control".
Overall the RX1 is a great piece for the entry level pricing.

Hi MOtiv Girl since you are the most memorable blogger; I wanted to ask you on your recommendations on how to drill my 2-3" pin RX1. I have a sx1 and it works beautifully. I want this ball to react with a smaller break point and a tighter finish in comparison to the sx1. All of my balls are drilled for longer patterns and if it is worth anything I bowl in Hawaii and all of the lanes here are patterned with a reverse block. As for stats: I am a Righty with a rev rate 0f 340 and a ball speed of 17.5mph. Also I have a medium track on all my balls.
