My information:
Ball Speed:15-16mph. Rev Rate:250-265 rpms
Axis rotation:45 degrees. Axis tilt15 degrees.

Ball tested specs:
Pin up-above middle finger.5 1/2"x 4 1/2",No X-hole.
Pin down-under ring finger.5"x4",No X-Hole,

The SR2:
The MOTIVat-R cover(from the TR2)and the Sigma core(from the SX1)
creates a dynamic combination unseen so far from MOTIV.
When the guys from Spring Lake went to work on a ball to fill the
the gap in the MOTIV line-up,they really did the word "angular"justice.

The symmetrical core of the SR2 is a lower RG. and medium differential
helps the ball clear the heads and picks up the revs a little later
in the mid-lanes.
The very hard angular back end of the SR2 is great for carrydown on
medium to medium-oil on medium to longer patterns,39'-44'.
After around three games is when this ball really shines on this type
of patterns.
The angular nature of the SR2 could be a hindrance for higher rev
players on medium length, oilier house shots with fresh back ends,
they may see too much jump off the back of the pattern.But they will
love this ball when they encounter push.
When the SR2 starts to turn the corner there is no quit on the back end,
especially on the mediums patterns.
The SR2 goes longer than the GT1,but will turn the corner on push
better than the GT1 when encountering heavier carrydown.
The 4"-5" of flare I got helped me keep the ball from burning energy too
early ,which helps create the angular nature that is so great on carrydown.

The overall lane hook was less than the TR2 and more than the GT1.
But the total hook is not what this ball was designed for.It was designed
for a more angular look on push,and you do not want total hook
when trying to create back end.

I got the best look with the SR2 during a tourn.( modified sport), with a longer
length,medium volume pattern.When the lanes had about five games bowled
on them, and your were forced to move deeper .The SR2 allowed me
to move in and play fourth and fifth arrow,this ball made it to the
breakpoint with ease and still turn the corner without ever quitting.

Overall the SR2 is the perfect ball for anyone needing a ball to handle
carrydown, when everything else they have is burning up too
early, or not corning when running into carrydown.

MOTIV GIRL

Undoubtedly, the SR2 is a must have for bowlers looking for a versatile, aggressive piece of bowling equipment. While it can easily make a move late on the lane with a high gloss, a tweak to the shell will draw the breakpoint closer and smooth the reaction a great deal. Like all other Motiv covers, it's versatility is astounding.

Though it is not touted as the most aggressive ball in the Motiv line, on many conditions it will cross the most boards. When left at box condition the TR2 will bleed energy far earlier and provide a very smooth look. The SR2 is shiny and therefore retains a great deal more energy and spends it much more quickly. As a result, when there is not enough oil in the heads, the SR2 will clear the front and boom whereas the TR2 will not cross quite as many boards.

While I've only had the SR2 for a short while it has already impressed me. On PBA Chameleon on old synthetic lanes I was able to play directly up the hang spot and get the SR2 to pick up consistently. On Shark the SR2 is the best option because it is clean and creates enough angle from the inside.

Short oil patterns are not the best for this ball in my opinion. Perhaps rotationally challenged bowlers would enjoy the SR2 on short oil. For me the best options are weak GT1's and any SX1.

SR2 is an absolutely vital addition to the Motiv line. It provides superior hook with the perfect blend of control and angularity.

This ball seems to be a ball that A LOT of people are going to like. It gets through the lane better than the Tr2 and Gt1 and still has plenty of movement on the back half of the lane. It seems to fit right under my polished Tr2 and right above my polished gt1.
This ball clears the front very well. For me it seems to get through the lane like the Sx1 and has the strong move similar to the Tr2 on back. Another great release! For those who don't want somthing with the surface or as strong as the Tr2 but still want somthing with good movement, this is the ball for you!

"Every Strike brings me closer to my next homerun"

This ball is the best of all the balls Motiv has made. Reminds me of another Black ball that was made in Michigan in the mid 90's. Strong midlane arc with continuation thru backend and the pins. This ball allows me to play more in the track like other medium to lower rev players to start the night. I also threw the ball in league on the Scorpion and Viper Patterns. I could play closer to the gutter to start the night and as the lanes broke down from everyone playing there I just stepped left a little and stayed in the same zone when others in my league had to move much deeper because their balls hooked early. The SR2 never quit in the back and hit amazingly hard. This ball looks like it will make the bag.
