MOtion hole on a Motiv?
« on: November 03, 2013, 06:37:15 AM »
I've been reading as much as I can find on MOtion holes and their affect on reactions. I would really like to give it a try on a Motiv, but I'm curious which would be the best candidate for it? Has anyone tried it on any of them? If so,  which ball and what were your results?

Just so you know what I'm thinking, I'm thinking maybe a venom toxin, tribal or maybe sigma tour? Let me know what you guys think.

My brothe has a Mo hole on an Ascent. Ball is long with nice move on the back. Excellent carry.

If had my druthers I wouldn't Mo-hole a tall core high Rg like the Ascents.  The Gear core which is lower Rg and fatter is a better fit for the Motion hole IMO.  The other Motiv symmetrical core that work well with Motion holes would be the Quadfire on medium covers.

As long as people understand the purpose of adding any performance based hole, you can make a better ball decision.

The intent of the MOhole is to change the dynamics of the core.  The more core mass you can take out, the larger the change is in the core dynamics.  So imagine the holes being put in the ball (gripping and MOhole) and see what the difference is.  If you think there is a chance the MOhole will not touch the core or take very little out, then it may not be the best choice.  But if it seems like the MOhole will take a large chunk of the core mass out, then it may be a good choice.  Remember, the more mass you take out, the larger the change in dynamics will be.

Another thing to consider is if the cover is more dominant than the core. A strong cover on a weaker core may not produce as good of results as a weaker cover on a stronger core.  This is why medium strength balls have provided significant results.

Good post and that's exactly they way I see it also.
