Motiv
The Motiv Shadow Tank is a symmetrical pearl bowling ball from Motiv, released in October 2025. It has the Frixion M7 Pearl MCP coverstock and the Flux weight block, finished at 1000 Grit LSS out of the box. At 15 lb its RG is 2.57, with a differential of 0.015.
Among the 194 balls here with a 15 lb version, its RG is high, so it gets down the lane before it revs up, and its differential is low, for less flare and a steadier motion. Motiv rates it 37 for length, 35 for backend and 36 for hook, out of 100: it starts to hook mid-lane, turns moderately at the breakpoint and hooks moderately overall, with at least 2 inches of flare potential. Motiv's ball guide puts it on light oil, with a very smooth motion.
