Title: Motiv GT1- May Release
Post by: neverbackdown_x7x on March 24, 2009, 12:25:08 PM: http://www.motivbowling.com/products/2/1.html

So will this one have a pearlized coverstock? A little confused on the description on the website.

According to Motiv, the TX-1 is for medium to medium-heavy oil
and the SX-1 is for medium oil.

I believe it's more about breakpoint shape, as in BJI's reviews, rather than the amount of backend, as in BTM's reviews.

If that's the case then I would think it would be for medium oil with such a low differential and flare potential.

The core looks like a Jaguar oil filter with a gear wrapped around it.

Yeah, it does. And I really liked that ball, too.
