Prepare to be shocked by the unstoppable force of the MOTIV EVOKE – a ball that refuses to be overlooked. This all-new solid asymmetrical powerhouse demands your attention. Featuring vibrant colors, a revolutionary new core design, and the next evolution of an already triumphant coverstock system; the EVOKE is here to dominate heavier concentrations of oil.

Introducing the ferocious Overload Core, a dynamic asymmetrical marvel engineered to fill a strategic gap in the Motiv Bowling arsenal. Nestled between the formidable Predator V2 core of the Jackal series and the dominant Dominion core found in the Pride lineup, the Overload core hits the sweet spot tailored for the challenges of medium-heavy oil conditions. 

What makes this core so special is that it boasts the ability to change the differential with drilling by up to 25%, while also offering drilling options that will lower the differential. No previous MOTIV core could lower the differential of a drilled ball.  While many bowlers look for the most differential possible when drilling a ball, rev dominant bowlers are usually limited by the increased diff of drilled balls. As an upper-mid core that must be versatile, the Overload core is the perfect option for offering so much versatility. 

Paired with the Overload core is the new Leverage MXC Solid Reactive coverstock. This cutting-edge shell blends the renowned Leverage coverstock technology from the Black Venom with the aggressive components of the Forge Flare. This combination ensures superior traction in even the most challenging high-oil environments.

This cover features the new cutting-edge DuraMax Technology—an innovative additive meticulously crafted to prevent lane-shine, extending the lifespan of the coverstock. DuraMax technology ensures that the Evoke will consistently maintain its finish at a significantly longer rate without breaking down, refusing to succumb to wear and tear. With DuraMax, the Evoke becomes a beacon of resilience, outlasting expectations and guaranteeing an enduring performance.

Get ready to experience a new era of domination on the lanes with the Motiv Evoke.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - Speed dominant bowlers need traction on the lane to repeat with confidence.  However, there had previously been a large gap between the Jackal Ambush and the Pride Dynasty when trying to stay in slow response asymmetrical balls.  The Evoke is the perfect bridge between these two balls and a critical part of the progression for a speed dominant bowler.
  • Balanced Bowlers - Balanced bowlers will use the Evoke as a first ball out of the bag on lower friction lane surfaces.  With a coverstock that is easier through the front than a Jackal Ambush, but with a more substantial footprint on the lane than the balls in the line created for medium oil, the Evoke is a great benchmark for bowlers on higher concentrations of oil or on lower friction synthetic lane surfaces.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - A rev dominant bowler can use the Evoke as their heavy oil control ball without any need for more traction or control.  The Motiv Evoke will easily serve as a rev dominant player’s strongest asymmetrical ball in the bag and give them the traction and smooth response to friction needed on challenging or heavy oil conditions.

    Blends out over under reactions nicely

    Was hoping to replace a well-used and much appreciated Trident Odyssey and was not disappointed. On house patterns with a cliff or ridge of oil, not only does the new Leverage MXC Solid Reactive cover help limit overreaction off the dry, but the Overload core increases the difference between what Motiv balls have had for some time. That is a noticeable difference between pin up and pin down reactions. Plus, it has great shelf appeal helping pro shops sell it. 60x5x40 layout, 4.5x0pap, 265rpm, 15mph

    Another winner for my bag

    I’ve had my Evoke a little over a month and wanted to wait to give my full review not just the typical “this is the best ball I’ve ever thrown” after just a few games. I bowl in league and will hit up a couple tournaments through the spring and summer. There is no doubt after throwing the Evoke that it will be the first ball out of my bag every time. A juiced up version of my favorite Motiv piece, the Forge Flare. In the 20 plus games or so I’ve thrown this ball in league, I have consistently finished 20-25 pins higher than my current league average. I love the versatility it offers my game and the results I have been getting. I will admit I was unsure of the colors at first but it has made an impression at league, with a lot of people that haven’t thrown Motiv, asking me about the ball. I can’t say enough good things about this ball to them, but more importantly, they have seen the ball go down the lane and see the scores I’ve put up with it.

    First Solid Asym Like

    I don't get along with solid asymmetrical balls AT ALL. However, this ball is excellent in the early blocks. Typically I get too much reaction out of the solid cover stocks with asymmetrical balls, but Motiv did an excellent job with this ball, for me. It doesn't work very well on later blocks, like it doesn't have enough energy to make cleanly back to the pocket when I have to get FAR left. But up until that point, the shape and result are as consistent as I am, if I stay consistent.

    The Beach Ball

    Not only does this ball stand out with the crazy colors but it is backed up by performing on the lane. This ball is a great benchmark ball and is often one of the first balls out of my bag to get a read on the oil pattern for the night. The ball is super versatile and can tame a lane or conversely can help open up a lane as well. Even though the Evoke falls on the smoother side of the Motiv ball chart I think that this ball still provides great continuation.
