I am looking at Motiv stuff. I am a senior bowler on a med to hvy house shot. I am a stroker at about 13 mph. I am looking at 2 or 3 balls , what would you guy suggest ?

I too am a senior over 70 decades old & speed of 13mph (a lefty). I have and love my Octane Carbon by Motiv. Also have my Covert Tank (4.5*40) as well but it's a new ball and haven't been on the lanes much in over a year due to Covid-19 shutdown and the such. Hope to be back on soon account had my 2nd inoculation this week. :D Do like both balls, but haven't thrown the Covert Tank much, so time will tell. My alleys are considered Medium-Medium Heavy, depending which house at. Have my eye on a Purple Tank so who know. Have the want 4 sure. ::) Good Bowling 2 U. Jim

Jim,
Wow, I knew you were old, but 70 decades? You were alive when Columbus discovered this continent. :)
-
No, Not Columbus. But, we did go to school in the 1940's.
-
When you refer to your ball speed, Is that at release or downlane at the pins?
-
Motiv Shock, Motiv Thrill or a Desert Tank

Remember the 'Fountain of Youth'? Don't believe everything one hears. Yes, the effects DO wear off with time. ::)

i have a EBI Warrior supreme and a storm Idol Pro and a EBI Maverick Pearl in 15 lb. I am thinking of going to 14 lb. I was thinking about Motiv Forge fire, Ripcord Flight and a Supra. What do you guys think ?

What have you had the most success with? I think I'd go with an asymm option over the Forge Fire and go with the Jackal Flash or Trident Horizon.
I'd agree on the Supra 100% for someone with slower speed. Ripcord Flight or Venom Shock if you've had success with why lower diff balls in the past

I would try to find a Rogue Assassin if you can. Take a look at the reviews from tamer bowling and bowling this month I still see them for sale on e-bay. You might be able to get a good deal on one. This is a great benchmark ball for med-heavy THS.

Love the Rogue Assassin, most underrated ball they've ever made. Becoming a big fan of the Fatal Venom as well.
