MOTIV Carbide Tank | 4K Ball Review | Bowlers Paradise

[@joewalker6931]

Can this be doubles as a spare ball? Ive been bowling for about 4months and avg 195. I was thinking I’ve trying tournaments this winter. I was hoping this could kill 2 birds with one stone. Thanks

I personally wouldn’t use this one as a spare ball, but if you can flatten it out enough it should be ok.

[@Zudoarichidoari]

Kinda indifferent about this one as I was hoping it would be closer to the Blitz, instead it's pretty different. :/

My speed 12-14 mph, I hit mine with a 2k trucut on a spinner and its everything I've been looking for.

Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@bowlersparadise2255]

Let us know how you like it!

Ok it hooks less wen I used the tirecut polish 6500 but I did it by hand wen I used it on the second game I end up with a 230 kinda happy I did that

Carbide vs blue tank??

[@Zudoarichidoari]

Very different beasts. Carbide is way stronger up front and the Blue would go down the lane easier and a bit more pop at the back based on what I've seen.

@@Zudoarichidoari I can agree with that. I own and have thrown both quite a bit. the Carbide is 100% what Ben says it is here - It's stupid early, even with less surface, and it's just not a great piece for house shots. The Blue, on the other hand, is equally as mixed. Out of the bag, it's pretty friggin amazing, but it shines up fast. As it stands right now (a few months of use), my Blue Tank with lane shine basically plays right on top of my Purple Tank. Both of them skid in the fronts way more than you would think a urethane ball would, and they both also kinda curl up and continue more than you think urethane would.
