Smoothest Motiv Ball
« on: August 14, 2017, 07:22:03 PM »
 For you guys that have thrown Motiv.What ball is the smoothest.I am Low tilt, low axis tilt, rev dominant 15/16 mph.I struggle on our screaming backends.
 Seems Motiv has alot of gaps filled.I have tried a couple of Motiv balls in the past just didn,t match up very good.Tag was to flippy.I recently found a pink acsent on the cheap.Figured being in the light to dry category it might be ok.This ball hooks as much as anything I have.Even with a P1 hole It is skid/flip for me.
 The Forza SS interests me, But Early hook is not my friend either.Forza GT is on clearance.Says its a smoother ball.Just really not sure about balls anymore everything is always stronger than advertised.
 So for you guys that have been throwing Motiv.Tell me your opinion of these couple I am thinking about. Forza GT,Cobra,Tag Cannon,Or blue freestlye.Also didn,t say really wanting smooth for THS.Most here scream on the backends.

Im low tilt low rotation ball speed about 16.5-17 out of my hand and rev rate probably low 300s. I struggle at times with flying backends the same way, for me balling up to a stronger cover that's earlier has helped me.

Solid covers have always been my favorite because they normally dont change direction as quickly

Forza GT is a little later than the SS. 

I'm curious.  I understand the concept of strong ball on somewhat drier lanes, but if the Venom Shock is too much ball then either of the Forza's won't be much different.  The Shock is close in strength (2-3 boards weaker) to the Forza. 

You might be forced into a smaller PAP to pin distance to control the overall strength of the ball and use surface to get the early burn you desire. 

Also, if the lanes are that bad, you could look for older (10+ years) solid reactive and try that out.

Ok here's the concept.Its side to side dry and strong backends.The middle has oil.Flat patterns I do fine.Its the friction that wears me out.So I want a smoother reaction.Its actually a simple question I asked.Which Motiv ball is smoother.I said I have weaker balls but they go long and still react to much on the backend.And I wanted to give Motiv another chance.I seem to be getting responses but do you guys actually have the GT.I know what the numbers say.But I want peoples opinion that have thrown the GT.

I have the Forza GT. Great ball, but (for me) it has a good down lane move. Not hockey stick but still jumps pretty good.

My Chronic Paranoia is much smoother off the friction.

For me the Forza has been the smoothest Motiv ball I've ever thrown. The Forza SS is pretty close though... It has more backend than the original but less than the GT. In the current lineup the SS is the smoothest ball you'll find.

Average Joe,  I totally agree!! the ORG Forza was the smoothest ball Motiv has had.  I loved the way it rolled in the mid lane!!
