If you've ever thrown an entry level ball you know that only get the performance you pay for correct? Well not anymore. The newest addition to motiv's line of products brings you the most bang for your buck from any entry level addition I have ever seen. With the Motivator-Z Coverstock found on the Qz line of balls and the Recon core found in the Recon itself this ball gives you everything you can ask for in hitting power and control on more demanding friction patterns and broken down house shots.

The high Rg rating of the Ascent gets the ball easily and cleanly through the heads even at its out of box finish of 1000. The low Differential rating controls the breakpoint and lets you make smaller moves left to maintain and maximize your scoring angles.

Enough about all the numbers and specs. I drilled my Ascent at 45 x 5 x 60 which puts the pin slightly left and under my ring finger and let me tell you what this ball hits hundreds of dollars more expensive than it is. I have NEVER thrown let alone seen an entry level ball that rolls as predictable and powerful as the ascent solid even with this smoother controlled layout I drilled.

When you buy a bowling ball you want something that's going to roll true and carry every single time (not to mention if your a superman fan you'll love the colors), this is the ball for you and your friends so head on out to your local pro shop order an Ascent and get MOTIVated!

Motiv Ascent Solid

The New Motiv Ascent Solid is the next best thing in entry level performance. Motiv takes entry level performance to an all new level. The Motiv solid for me, drilled 50 x 4 x 60, is great for me on the fresh when I want to play the lanes a little straighter. For me personally the solid is a little longer and a tad weaker than my thrash. It also has a very smooth controlled reaction, and the ball never gets jumpy, even when it gets to the dry, yet will still recover and destroy the pins. The neo mark graphics really pop off of the red and blue shell. This ball is a great compliment to the pearl version. Drilled similar the solid will start a little earlier and hook more overall. When you think of the solid, think smooooth. The reaction and controllability, will make you wonder how we can classify this ball as entry level.

Is Motive struggling so bad that they need a fellow staffer to reply to another staffer's reaction article? Here's a hint; if a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words is a good, true to life, video worth?

I will be getting my solid tomorrow night and will probable put the same layout as my Thrash has on it. I will throw it Wednesday morning if it comes in and report. The real test for me will be next week on the 2012 Bowlers Journal shot on wood
