Motiv’s Villain - This ball is a must have!
« on: March 20, 2018, 07:07:29 PM »
Motiv’s new release of the Villain is so exciting because they are bringing back the Sinister core with their modern Coercion MFS cover stock.  Looking at the Sinister core, this asymmetric gives you a high RG with loads of differential.  As a result you can expect to see impressive power and great continuation.    The cover, Coercion (medium friction solid), offers great versatility allowing you to easily adjust down to a smoother motion or back up for more of a benchmark look.  You get so much performance with this ball at such a great value being in the medium-heavy range on the ball chart.  The Villain became and immediate favorite in my tournament arsenal!

I'm seriously considering creating a top 10 list of cliches contained in staffer reviews.
Current bag:
DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl
Radical Squatch hybrid
Motiv Forza GT
Hammer Black Widow Gold
DV8 Vandal
DV8 Creed Rebellion

Sorry, but nope, not a must have ball. I threw mine for the first time last night.

Here is the deal as I see it:

It looks to be a medium heavy oil ball, with a reasonable ability to make a decent move at the end of a long/heavy pattern. I bowled on a somewhat slick house shot last night and it was too much for the condition unless I started left of fourth arrow.

It's not going to make you a better bowler.

The Sun won't shine brighter in the sky if you own this ball.

Your morning Corn Flakes will taste the same whether you own this ball or not.


If you stop at Starbucks every morning on the way to work, you will probably be broke...and fat. Don't count on this ball to make a difference.

You will probably still need Ex-Lax if you eat too much cheese; This ball won't change that for you.

If you already have the Jackal Rising and say the Chronic Paranoia, you don't need this ball.

If you already have the Trident Quest, you don't need this ball.

If you already have the Forza SS, you don't need this ball.

This ball isn't the Venom Shock, which is truly the only "must have" ball in the Motiv line-up(Although I do love me some Venom Cobra).


Here is an idea Motiv, give us the cover from the Villain on the Venom Cobra core.

"If guns kill people, do pencils misspell words?"

"If you don't stand for our flag, then don't expect me to give a damn about your feelings."

Have you watched his videos? I swear he says in every one that the ball is a must have, or at least how great it is.

Staffer baloney. Every company needs a Luke Rosdahl on their staff actually giving decent reviews.

I just think it takes from the credibility of the OP.  If EVERY ball is a "must have" how can I trust your take on ANY of them?

Truthfully, and I ask this with sincerity, if I were in the market for a new Motiv ball and saw that every one was a "must-have", how could I feel OP is being honest w/me?
