The exchange form is up
« on: March 31, 2016, 07:00:06 AM »
The Motiv website has the ball exchange form up. They send the balls to your pro shop and not directly to the customer.

 OK, but I bought it online, and drilled it myself. I didn't go through a proshop. Now what do I do?

Is there a pro shop in your area?  It doesn't matter where you bought the Jackal, it only matters where the exchange can/will take place.

What's to stop someone from using their own address for the Pro Shop information?  If Motiv contacts you, just tell them you drill your own equipment and do not have a relationship with a local pro shop.  You should be just as capable of drilling out the USBC logo on the Jackal/Carnage and sending the backup photo as would any dedicated consumer pro shop.  Besides, there are a lot of PSO's that may have these balls for themselves that want replacements, so for Motiv to see a customer have the same address for both their home and Pro Shop shouldn't seem unusual.

Since you are only drilling your own ball, and it is less than 8 balls, wouldn't that also qualify you for an additional free ball as well under the exchange program?  Would Motiv deny a home driller the bonus ball even if photographic proof is provided that the other ball had the USBC logo drilled out and the serial number matches the one submitted by the customer on the exchange form?

If folks start getting confirmation of their submissions or such, can you please post that info.

I signed up for the email updates, but never have received any. Kind of worried with what happens if we don't receive any email confirmations from Motiv on this.

I did check what I typed like 10 times to check for typos

Check your spam folder. I received a couple of different emails from them after signing up and all of them went into the spam folder instead of the inbox.

For those of you who signed up, did you select the future ball or one from their current lineup?

Where's my Mule?

I completed the form last night for my son.  He wants the LE.  His coach is doing the same.  It's almost crazy not to, UNLESS it's your only ball and you desperately need a replacement pronto.

Seems like it'll be a bit painful for us in Norway.
Norway isn't under country.
The PSO I bought the ball at should have a pro shop in Sweden. But what should I write in the info about me? I live in Norway, and I probably shouldn't lie about my address and such on the form, since another person would get my ball then :P
Most used:
Motiv Venom Shock (14)
DV8 Grudge Hybrid (14)
Hammer Scandal (14)
DV8 Freakshow (14)

Sometimes.
C300 Swerve (14)
Motiv Jackal LE (14)

Retired:
Roto Grip Sinister (13)
Motiv Jackal (14)

Given to a no-thumber in the club:
Brunswick T-zone (13)

Might stick with Motiv from now on.
