Got this email from Motiv. NOT HAPPY!!!
« on: June 24, 2016, 05:04:08 PM »
Our records show that you registered to receive a Limited Edition Jackal through the Ball Exchange Program.  Do not bring your bowling ball to the pro shop at this time. Hold onto your Jackal or Jackal Carnage.  As you know, we are working with the USBC and are hoping to have both balls reinstated.  If they are reinstated, we will not manufacture the Limited Edition Jackal because you would be able to use your Jackal or Jackal Carnage. 

As we have news to report regarding the reinstatement process, we will notify you.  Thank you very much for your patience and support through this process. You are greatly appreciated!

The problem that I see it this.  I had the Jackal and the Carnage.  I got another Motiv piece to replace my Jackal.  I have lost my Jackal in which I brought it to my PSO for him to do his thing.  The Carnage I wanted the LE, so I still have my Carnage.  If they become legal I have lost my Jackal never to be seem again.

As a PSO, I will not push their product or keep it on the shelf.  I will order one if a customer wants one but I will push any other brand first.  Motiv has done its customer base a real disservice here.  I have several customers that have decided to trade their illegal balls in for the LE and with them stalling puts an even worse taste in their mouths.  I have already had a couple asking what other balls (not Motiv) I would trade the LE for.  They need to just replace the balls and move on.  They are living in a fantasy world if they think USBC will reverse their decision.

What stalling?  The timeframe is the same today as it was two months ago.  Nothing has changed in any of the information previously provided.
Current bag:
DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl
Radical Squatch hybrid
Motiv Forza GT
Hammer Black Widow Gold
DV8 Vandal
DV8 Creed Rebellion

Motiv has replaced many bowling balls all of which were chosen by the customer. If someone selected the LE they waived all "guarantees" to get a replacement ball. When customers read the terms and conditions they read that Motiv would be replacing their Jackals with UP TO ONE bowling product. They also were told at the very top of the ball exchange form "Please understand that if you choose to have your Jackal and/or Jackal Carnage exchanged, and the balls are later reinstated on the approved ball list, there will be no recourse to get the Jackal and/or Jackal Carnage back." You also checked a box at the bottom saying "Motiv is expecting to release it (the LE) in the Fall of 2016"

So for everyone getting their panties in a bunch Motiv has made it known and communicated to all involved that they were trying to get the balls reinstated, whether or not they are successful is a moot point. They have also communicated the terms very clear. If you can't read or chose not to read the terms that is on you. We have no reached the Fall of 2016 so why is everyone making a big deal out of this?

If you haven't sign up for exchange program, then what can you do?
