No, I'm not drilling anything yet.

So, Nemesis is announced, making waves. Ball guide currently has 4 open spots. What slot do you think needs to be filled with the next release? Something between the Thrill and Hydra? Between Recoil and Supra? Assassin and Ripcord? Forge and Forge Fire?

Personally, I think the gap between Supra and Recoil is big. There's a lot of room there for a more responsive ball than the Recoil but not as responsive as the Supra.

What the hell, were did the Venom Shock Pearl go??

Motiv needs to use that core again. Give us the Venom Shock core with a strong hybrid cover. That would be a good replacement for the Rogue Blade.

And a Supra Solid would be nice too.

Honestly, I think they might be done with the Hexion cover. VSP Scorn and Blade had it, Golden has it, and I wasn't too impressed by that, and I think that the motion they're hoping for lies in the new Infusion cover. So far, Fire and Supra have been hits, Nemesis looks good, and it may be what they're looking at for that Storm type motion.

Sounds like a "pearl" Tank is needed and an Infusion covered Recoil.

Covert or Blitz?

Honestly, I hope they replace the Golden with something similar, just less chuggy.

Yeah looking forward to a new ball more towards bottom of chart.  That is where its at with Motiv for me anyway.  Blitz is more than enough ball for me in any house around here.

Even with the holes between the Assassin/Ripcord and Recoil/Supra. Right now looks like a good time to put together a complete Motiv arsenal.

I remember when the Motiv chart was only three balls wide.

Biggest hole I see is the one that most are pointing out, between the Supra and Venom Recoil. Those are two wildly different balls for being in the same category.

Not sure I see the gap/needed fill between the Rogue Assassin and Ripcord though. That's probably where I would just use a Venom Shock and be happy with it.

And with that said... here comes another Sniper. 

New Sniper??

Just be done with it and come out with a Venom Cobra SE.  Insert Fry shut up and take my money gif.

>> What the hell, were did the Venom Shock Pearl go??

In my opinion, Motiv ruined that ball from the beginning. Everyone wanted a Venom Shock with a pearl cover, but what they got was a Shock Pearl and a different weight block. That was not what people were asking for. Had Motiv used the same Venom Shock weight block on the pearl, I think the ball would have been more accepted and more successful.

In all honesty, I love the Motiv company, but the whole same name different core thing is annoying.
