Early reports on the two new ones.
Launch is not as strong as the Sky Raptor, but a little stronger than the Velocity. It's pretty quick downlane and a ball when you get a friction spot to throw at you can keep chasing in with. Definitely one of the faster balls downlane in the Motiv line right now. I had a little trouble in league with it this week because of how fast it was downlane, it really boomed off the dry, and probably wasn't my best league option on the fresh.
The Carbide is strong, really strong. I always disregard the first shot or two with a fresh MCP ball (like urethane it seems first shot on fresh surface is just silly and not representative of what they do). Where I could strike with my Blue tank I was 6 boards farther in with my feet with the Carbide, and that's been consistent at a couple houses, i'm a bit surprised at how early and strong it is. I'm going to leave mine dull and see how long it takes to lane shine and experiment with it a bit, so far i'm not exactly sure where it slots in my bag, it's so early and strong it's not ideal for me (lower speed, maybe slightly rev dominant) on house patterns, and I haven't bowled on sport with it yet (will sunday).
If anyone has comparisons they'd like to see on video let me know.
