The new Primal Impulse is the first skid-flip ball from MOTIV. It features new Atomix SFP Reactive coverstock and the new dual-density Impulse core. This is an outstanding piece of equipment! Engineered for medium oil, the ball is very long and clean down the lane with a fast backend transition and incredible drive through the pins. When you want to swing the ball across the lane on a beat-up oil pattern and have it unleash off the dry, the Primal Impulse is the ball you want in your hand.
If the bowling industry had “Best Core Design Awards”, we believe MOTIV’s new Impulse™ would be the slam-dunk winner! We’re talking high RG and dual-density on this new high performance core. It provides the 15# ball with a 2.60 RG to get you down the lane with ease and a .050 differential for track flare of 5”+. The dual-density design maximizes the backend reaction through complex physics we won’t get into, but the bottom line is outstanding ball motion.
The look of this ball is crazy too! MOTIV complimented the insane ball performance with a color scheme that demands attention. Hot Pink Pearl and Black NeoMark graphics are integrated with a Blue Pearl and Lime Pearl coverstock. You WILL notice this ball on the lanes and on the shelf in the pro shop. It screams – LOOK AT ME!

Motiv Primal Impulse

I wasn't sure what to expect from this ball at first. I really like the Sigma Tour and the Primal Impulse with it's new high RG core and pearl version of the Atomix Cover found on the Sigma Tour. Since I like the Sigma Tour I put very similar drillings (60x4.75x60) low pin and (45x5.25x45) high pin on the Primal Impulse to see what the new core and cover would do. What I found is a ball that glides through the front part of the lane without the squirt in oil that you get from most pearl balls. The path down the lane between the Sigma Tour and the Primal are close with the Primal getting a little more length and a little more entry angle into the pocket. Overall hook between the two is also very close. What impressed me was the carry that the PI gave me on the medium house shot that is was bowling on. Shots that I thought were going to leave me a 10 pin to shoot at just seem snap them out.

I can see using the Primal Impulse on most medium patterns or later in the set when your oiler won't make the corner and starts leaving flat 10's.
