The Motiv Tank Yellowjacket is the ultimate choice for conquering demanding bowling environments. Renowned for its exceptional control, the Tank line reaches new heights with the Yellowjacket Tour Edition, featuring a microcell polymer (MCP) coverstock enhanced by MOTIV's innovative Duramax additive. This technology provides a powerful urethane-like shape while remaining adaptable to finish adjustments. Distinguishing itself with the Frixion Mark 5 Solid MCP coverstock, the Tank Yellowjacket utilizes Duramax technology to resist lane shine and maintain the finish profile for extended periods. This is particularly valuable for aggressively sanded bowling balls like this one, boasting a 1000 Grit LSS finish. However, unlike other balls in its performance class, the Tank Yellowjacket is also easily customizable for high-friction environments, allowing for a higher finish with increased energy retention. Remarkably, Duramax technology enables the Yellowjacket to maintain traction even with a higher finish. To achieve the desired ball motion, Motiv carefully selected the Flux core, featuring an ultra-high RG (radius of gyration) and low differential. This core design minimizes down-lane motion, empowering you to utilize the cover texture as a cue for when the ball reads the lane, enabling timely adjustments. At MOTIV, a dedicated team has tirelessly engineered a versatile urethane-like shape with a new microcell polymer cover, providing faster and easier adjustability to suit any bowling environment. Whether you face extreme wet/dry conditions or other challenging scenarios, the Tank Yellowjacket offers the control you need to excel on the lanes.

When in need of a piece to help tame the over under cliffs of the massive puddle in the middle with seemingly nothing outside of 12, this right here is the ball for you. Get some games on it, let it build up some "lane shine" for lack of a better term and watch this ball tame the cliff and build you a bump to move in and play off of as the night progresses with your stronger pieces. Hands Down, this has become my Warmup and Game 1 Ball for League.
