It may be yellow, but it's not a coward.
-
Oooo, me likey!
-
I have to say that is one of the best looking balls I've seen in a long time. Reminds me of a race car when I was growing up. What lane conditions is there for?
-
Goodness, i'm a Motiv fan and tend to get most of their releases because of reaction, but this one i'm buying at least one maybe two right away just on colors alone!
-
No specs still???? I'm curious if I should get red line or another regular forza
-
I was expecting a different color but this is cool. I hope this one has that nice Motiv badge on it like what's on the Forza.
-
Looks great! I interpret the red logo as the "redline", when it rolls I bet it looks amazingly cool! Think of a speedometer...

Looks like a pearl cover but with the strength of the core and probably a medium strength cover it should be for medium conditions

Yea I thought of a speedometer I was thinking the ball would be more of a black and red ball with swirls looking like its redlining lol.

Found a picture of the numbers

You are the man!!!

The Sigma Sting replacement!
-
I wondered when this would leak. I will get one for above my Venom Shock. The Tag goes below my Shock.
-
In my migration to Motiv, I have a Vengeance and an Octane. This year I'm thinking I'll add the Redline and a Tag. Does that sound like a nice start an arsenal?
Vengeance
Redline
Octane
Tag
-
Was this ball showcased at bowl Expo?
-
It is indeed at bowlexpo on display.

When is its anticipated releases date? Would this be Motivs equivalent ball to let's say a Roto Unhinged?

I think the cover might be a little stronger than the Unhinged but id think similar shape just a little earlier than the Unhinged
-
I would not think Unhinged but slightly stronger Sigma Sting.
-
The Octane would be similar to an Unhinged. Primal Prage would be a stronger Unhinged. The Redline will rev sooner and be smoother than an unhinged based on core numbers alone.
-
Maybe similar to marvel pearl?
-
I want one! WWRD?
-
Maybe similar to marvel pearl?
this is what I am thinking too.
-
It looks so good tho!

Really think motiv has great equipment, but hate their color schemes on their equipment :-\
-
I'm gonna love this yellow ball. Reminds me of the old Visionary Amulet (urethane).

I'm not one to buy/not buy over color but I really liked the looks of this one. One of the few balls I've seen that I really hope I like the shape and roll of cause I want it for the looks. We will see.

Come on, how could you not like the Primal Impulse? ;D

I am always amazed at how color schemes play in what a person likes or doesn't like. I am not trying to berate anyone because I have my own color hatreds, but what type of color schemes do you like Joker? Motiv has just as many different color schemes as anyone else and they use pretty much the same colors as anyone else, so what part of Motiv's colors specifically do you not like?
Personally, I won't buy a ball with orange in it (or try not to). Mainly to do with me graduating from Texas A&M and our hatred of University of Texas (we are cult-like in that aspect). My wife thinks I have a screw loose because I won't even touch orange some times.

I liked the way storm did their color schemes, it wasnt the reason why I threw storm equipment, but their color scheme was on point for me. To me the motiv colors seem pretty bland and wasn't really an eye catcher for me
-
To each their own. Though I wouldn't say these balls are bland:

I think some of them are really decent looking, but looking at the shock, panic, rage, tag, covert revolt, ect, these all look so plain just being one solid color.

I have a lot of people comment on how good my Venom Shock looks. The deep purple off set by the bright orange logos make a nice combination. Personally, I think the Tag is a great looking ball. Shiny black with the bright green logos look great going down the lane.
After thinking about it, the only ball Motiv has made that could actually be considered having only one color would be the Covert Revolt and even it has deep gray and black.
But to each their own. Perhaps you would prefer something garish like the stuff Columbia 300 or DV8 is producing.
-
The deal on the solid color balls with the contrasting vivid color in the Neomark logo which has changed in the last few releases is what makes the ball attractive for most when seeing it go down the lane (depending on your rev rate). When the ball turns over/revs the solid vs. the Neomark logo is quite good looking IMO.
My Venom Shock has gotten quite a few remarks about how good it looks.
I think that's why one reason Motiv has named the new Forza REDLINE in that it will be quite dramatic when the ball revs with it's red graphics in the logo vs. the yellow colored cover.

Maybe I'm just a motiv hater lol

Nothing wrong with that. There are brands I wouldn't have in my bag if they were offered to me for free. LOL
-

Maybe so, but you're still alright in my book.

At least for me, solid colors make it easier to read down lane motion and something I like about the Motiv line.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought part of the reason why Brunswick moved is because they struggled to pour multi-colored balls in their old facility (at least, they couldn't pour the colors in a pleasing way). It looks to me like Motiv - using the old Brunswick facilities - has the same limitation, which is why they needed to come up with something bold and colorful to offset those limitations. Hence, the NeoMark graphics were incorporated, and these look great. I love the way that the two Forzas have looked.

I always thought the Brunswick Attitude line looked really good aesthetically.

This is a common misconception.
MOTIV has a separate plant from the old Brunswick plant. Always have been and always will be 2 separate operations and buildings.

This is entirely untrue.

I was just about to say that Justin.
Here is a link that should prove it to anyone interested.

Honestly, I thought this too. I remember seeing or hearing a report that the one who started motiv used to work for brunswick and then left when they decided to move to Mexico and started motiv. So thought he took over the facility or something

Tech-Line(Motiv parent company) used to make Cores for Brunswick, but was always a company of it's own. They also make other items that your local pro-shop probably uses.

Yes, solid with a contrasting logo shows the skid, hook, roll best for me.

Cool, that's good to know. As I said, I could be mistaken and I was.
Still, it's interesting that Motiv still keeps the ball colors somewhat plain and goes all in on the Neomark graphics instead.
