This isn't even a question you need to ask me...

Dream, All Night, Boost Hybrid, Decimate, Torch. Maybe an All Day to replace the GripIt, but I really like that ball. #900Gsince07

Since trying Motiv towards the end of last summer, I've added every ball that they've released since then plus a few older ones. Just waiting for my friend to pick up my Apex and Octane. So I don't really need any new ones.

That said, I'm basically a ball "collector" so I will definitely be adding more. I have one Venom Shock already, drilled with the motion hole. That ball has definitely been a go to ball this summer - sometimes too late after struggling with stronger pieces. I'm bowling at the same center where Ball Reviews Canada films and the backends have been really strong this summer (ok, they often are), but there is out of bounds. I want to add a 2nd Shock and drill it pin under. Thinking rico.

I will probably also add the Tribal Fire. More and more I have been going to weaker pieces. I'm finding that I can only use the stronger pieces on the extremely heavy oil and/or long patterns. Even then, I'm usually balling down.

Outside of Motiv I have also had my eye on the Storm Optimus and the Hammer Black Widow Legend. I loved the original Black Widow (and some of the subsequent gas mask core releases).

Summary:
Motiv Ascent Apex (waiting to be picked up)
Motiv Octane (waiting to be picked up)
Motiv Venom Shock (#2)
Motiv Tribal Fire
Storm Optimus (maybe)
Hammer Black Widow Legend (maybe)
And probably anything else Motiv releases

So far, I added the Covert Revolt and Sigma Sting for this fall.  Both work really well for my game but especially love the Sigma Sting and it's versatility.

The next ball that I'm thinking of adding is probably going to be the Tribal Fire.  I could use a good lower end hybrid to replace my Frantic.

Overall, Motiv is putting out some great equipment and feel they're as good or even better than Storm/Roto.  This is coming from a Storm/Roto Grip guy.  Those who are looking to check the brand out- start with the Sigma Sting.  You won't regret it.

Well, so far I've added a DV8 Dude, Seismic Desperado TSE, Storm IQTF, Columbia Blur Hybrid, Lane Masters Black Pearl Blue Ocean, and another Hammer Arson LF. The sad thing is, I'm probably not done yet ;D.

I think at this point I will be looking at either an Octane or Optimus (probably Octane) and getting a Track Spare+ spare ball.

I am currently using a Storm Invasion, DV8 Marauder Madness, and Storm Zero Gravity.   The Zero Gravity is a good ball on medium light to medium heavy for my style.  I plan to drill a DV8 Nightmare and Endless Nightmare for the Fall 2014 leagues.

You will not see me on the PBA Tour, but I love the game!!!

I'm trying a lot of Storm for the first time since 2004 and I have a NIB Tour Power, Too Hot and Hy-Road to drill along with 3-4 more purchases.  They will most likely include an Optimus and the IQ Series.

Black Widow Legend and the Blue Hammer for sure. Absolut Flip or a Fortera Exile (I'll always have a place in my heart for Brunswick) if I get some extra cash or just randomly bored.  I want to try the Dream from 900G but I already got stuff that is going to more than likely overlap it (If surface changes aren't applied). I am extremely interested in trying something from Seismic. There stuff looks amazing. I've seen a few people throw there stuff and I was in awe.

not judging, but the newest Storm/Roto that you have listed is 3 years old.

I will be getting one new ball. I'm having a furious debate with myself as to whether it will be a Covert Revolt or a Sigma Sting.

If you are bowling in heavier oil, get the Revolt, otherwise, the Sting is a better choice. I don't use my Revolt much, but I have two Sigma Stings, one sanded at 2k and one polished. Between the two, they handle 90% of the conditions I see.
