So, what is this new Motiv ball called the "Trident Shield" supposed to be like? Approved by the USBC on November 15th.
-
I'm betting a pearl Trident.
-
Stock pictures are hard to get a feel for but that looks like a ball that has a lot of surface on it. Probably a solid. If it's not an overseas release I would guess it's going to be the new resident in the top left corner of Motiv's ball chart. Didn't think the Jackal Carnage would last long there as a ball that wasn't released as a ball to be sold in pro shops.

Every ball on the approved list is sanded to 500 grit before the picture is taken I believe

Ah, I didn't know that. Just found out about the stock pictures a few months ago. :D
If that's the case then I could see it being a pearl too like Doom said. Either top corner of the ball chart makes sense to me.
-
Solid cover. My guess is overseas version of the Jackal LE.
-
If it's US, I bet the Remix goes bye-bye. Fear seems to be the Primal ball to have now.
-
Has a pearl look to me. Hope it replaced the remix. Both people I know with the remix to replace the original jackal hate it
-
Still overseas...still a solid cover.
-
Here is your only chance at MAYBE being a pearl. I'm crossing my fingers on it...

I love my Fear. Works great for a 12# ball like my Thrash Frenzy does. It and my Thrash Frenzy are a perfect pair for THS conditions I bowl on.

It ain't a solid... and it ain't a USA release ;)

So says the person who doesn't throw Motiv.

Nice. Them actually making a pearl Coercion cover is a good thing to see. Maybe they will bring it stateside... maybe.
I like the look and name of the Jackal Ghost posted above too.
-
Motiv will not release the Trident Shield stateside #confirmed . I can bring them in after purchasing from international market and having them sent here.
Motiv might release another Trident with a different coverstock... that, I don't know.
Jackal Ghost... I wonder if anyone is rolling it at the WSOB :o ... Chronic Paranoia was seen at the US Open, and likely will be seen at the WSOB on this whole week

I stand corrected. Guess that's what I get for listening to others...

I was talking about the Coercion HVP coverstock, not the Trident Shield specifically. I can't remember Motiv bringing their overseas releases stateside. Not like Storm lately at least.
-
I don't understand the point of releasing a ball only for international release. Why take the time to develop a ball and then ignore the largest bowling market in the world? Are they using the rest of the world as guinea pigs to test stuff? The Remix is due to be replaced and it sounds like this ball would have done the trick.

Overseas distributors do this. They essentially contract the company to produce a ball for them to exclusively sell overseas.

The ghost is next. January release. LE core with a stronger cover :o

That's tight.

Direct replacement for the LE then?

The LE wasn't truly a release. They sent out the replacements and a few distributors/shops ended up with the extras. But I'm just passing on what I'm hearing. Hopefully it holds true.

True. I was just thinking in terms of the current ball chart. From that picture posted before it definitely looks like a solid.

Is there a ghost pic up yet?

I dig the purple.

I second it. That color combo works
-
To me it looks like the same purple that they used on the Covert Revolt. The black splotches makes it much more appealing though.

I think mine looks pretty good

It's not bad my any means, I just like the contrast on the Ghost more. Anything that stands out for bowling balls these days is nice.
