Motiv Evoke Bowling Ball | BowlerX Full Uncut Review with JR Raymond

[@ToolHead44]

Your explanation of terms is extremely helpful. I’m a 160 bowler who’s been trying to step up my game, and have been devouring a ton of YT bowling content (including all of your reviews!). It’s fun using context clues to pick up what all the jargon that people use might mean, but at a certain point it becomes a barrier to me understanding what’s even being said. No one will ever make a video that pleases every crowd, but you’re helping grow the game in a small way by making it more accessible to a wider audience with those explanations sprinkled in. Thanks!

[@tigertolliver5199]

I'm 70 years old just now beginning to pick up some speed a little bit. Would this be a good ball for me coming out of the bag? I love to stay left down and in is is not always my friend even though I can throw it up to 10. What do you think? Please respond. Oh yeah, last but not least great videos Great explanation of what of what you are explaining. Thanks again for the information. Thanks again for the education. Would this be a good ball for me? 70 years old ball speed about 11:00 to 12 mph😊

[@jackburton4892]

​@@tigertolliver5199How about a symmetrical ball. Way more predictable. It won't take so long to catch up and roll

[@davidprice2111]

This was your best review yet and your reviews are typically great. I loved the education. Also, the camera angle was the best as I like to see exactly where you slide. Thanks and good luck this week.

[@CurdBros]

You said at the end that it is likely better for straight up, but threw only shots that tried to stay in the middle of the lane. I would love to see this ball with a higher speed and standing about 10 boards right of where you were. May not be your style or comfortable spot, but I would love to see how the ball does in that area. Another awesome video!

[@kb1767]

Keep up these banging reviews. Don't ever stop!!!

[@adamtarasievich1221]

I just got this ball can’t wait to use it in league next Thursday

[@chrisarrant2099]

JR I have never been so satisfied. Thank you. Lol

[@gregcochennet385]

Great review. I like the colors. How would you say this compares with the Criterion. The shot I bowl on is not fresh oil and has 2 leagues before we bowl, a lot of plastic and tons of carry down. My balls are a symmetrical and I’m thinking an asymmetrical might get down the lane better and have a little more finish.

[@TheClovvn]

You were talkin' about changing the surface in the video. You used a 2k pad. The OOB surface is already at 2K. Did you change the surface before the video?

[@DtKnize]

I love your videos JR, but I think if you added a typical league bowler, 14-16 mph @ 300 revs would give us a different look for our next ball purchase.

[@itisaporsche]

My average is 193 and I am in the bottom 1/3rd of my league. I can not break into the 200 club. 😢. I just got this call last week. So far it is great. I did not do so well as I am slowing my speed down to 13.5 to 14mph. But I love it so far.

[@squidly2112]

I think this is the kind of ball I am missing in my arsenal. I need a ball that is nice and slow and rounded like this. Most of my balls are a lot sharper and makes it difficult for me to play a little straighter sometimes when I need to. I may have to check this one out. Oh, and JR, I kind of like the "beachball" look .. 🤣🤣

[@thebigeasy8609]

Good stuff Jr! Liking Motiv man!!!

[@BowlerXcom]

Appreciate it!!

[@squidly2112]

Haha .. nice one JR .. you sound so enthusiastic about the "looks like a beachball" .. had me chuckle. Seems you don't care much for the bright colors. My wife, on the other hand, really loves the way it looks, but that probably isn't too surprising. 🤣🤣🤣 .. and "jerking off the friction" .. 🤣🤣🤣 .. see, THESE things make your videos FUN !! .. not just informative (which is always great), but a lot of FUN in the process. Thanks JR !!!

[@JamesCFelty3]

It’s at 2000 out if the box. Going to try 3000 n mine to see what it can do next.

[@brettskinner5824]

I just bowled my first 15 with this ball I do like it fitting me well but dang hit 9 alot even though I'm dropping right in the pocket!!!

[@b.r.fowler785]

Voice actresses Tara Strong, Cathy Cavadini, and E.G. Daily might be interested in this bowling ball…it bears the colors of a particular cartoon they worked on in the 90s.

[@jamesmcgall70]

I used to throw a urethane ball on house lanes with a nice continuous hook. That said, I’ve changed my release to the yo-yo method. Would this ball be a good match for something similar?

[@jasonsmith3537]

Looks about like the reaction I get with the Purple Solid

[@jmorphius3619]

Patiently waiting on the Tank rampage pearl video…

[@cameronmorgan0203]

Damn JR be getting every ball in the world drilled since he works in the shop 😂👏🏾

[@Lowns_300]

Kinda the whole point of ball reviews lmao

[@cameronmorgan0203]

@@Lowns_300 never said it wasn’t. I was basically giving JR a tip even though it might had been worded the wrong way 😏

[@joshlopez2021]

Cool ball

[@Will-t5g]

Seems like a lot of reviews use 5 inch pins but I haven’t found a place online or our local pro shop that can get them. Any ideas?

[@notonyourlife7939]

When he says it's a 5" pins he's not talking about the undrilled pin to CG distance quoted on the box. He means the layout he chose has a 5" pin to PAP distance, which is entirely at the bowler's/driller's discretion. They're two different things... you can drill a 5"pin to PAP on any ball in the universe.

[@jrbthejerm2740]

Would you have a recommendation on a good motiv ball to start when bowling on the phantom pattern

[@robertcombs4916]

Do you do any one on one training? My daughter just started bowling for her high school seems to be really taking to it and really enjoys it. So I’ve been looking a personal coach for her.

[@BowlerXcom]

Yes we do. Email [e-mail]

[@DaJesta088]

Question. What’s to prevent the PBA from running a tournament where you’re limited in the amount of equipment you can bring (say, 3 balls) but can change the surface at any time during competition? Maybe there’s a good reason, it just sounds like it’d be really interesting to watch on BowlTV.

[@BowlerXcom]

could be fun. Hasn't been done before to my knowledge

[@jackburton4892]

Closest thing to that would be that plastic ball championship. Used to be on the tour. You could drill it how you wanted but everyone had to use the same ball

[@AmusedBalkhHound-dh1zy]

Hi I’m looking for a ball to pair with my Jackal legacy, I am just a league bowler what motiv ball would you recommend for me?

[@fieldondowell1692]

Im in toss up with the BW 3.0, Harsh reality and this ball

[@ScottyThompson-lt7wl]

Cool video talk tech bowling ball Jr Raymond

[@dresmith2148]

This thing looks insane. Wish I could throw motiv. They just don’t work for me

[@chadwhedbee5581]

To me this video and top dog were not very different from 3.0 just camera angle. I think 3.0 had a much better angle. In fact, the only review I've been a little disappointed with, was the BW 2.0 because it was on some lanes that were so beat up you could easily see the burn and the 2.0 is so solid, it was still able to deal with the lane and strike a good bit. And JR said he was going to redo that ball review a week later bc the lane had just been rode hard and hung up wet, but never did get the rain check review 😢

[@mitchellportee150]

I saw a review that said this is like the forge flare. I'm not seeing that at all.

[@victorbogen1558]

Raymond I was watching packy channle and purple hammer back ur alley to use it again wth! 🤔

[@jims5062]

Why hit it with 2000 if it's 2000 out of the box????

[@skalamaz3]

Thank you!!

[@DaJesta088]

Worst part of catching one 100% is you might go high because you’re lined up for 90%… Always have to laugh when I catch one good because I KNOW I’m in trouble lol

[@troyjacobs68]

Why are your fingertip grips sticking out so much ?

[@BowlerXcom]

because I didn't cut them down. I have 3/4 reverse in my fingers

[@jamesmatheson4746]

Why soo much reverse in those finger holes? I would Go 0 before reverse.. This is a disturbing modern trend.

[@Swamprowdy]

Excellent review; on par with almost every review you do. But , the Widow 3.0 review was one of the worst I've ever watched, and I have been watching you for years. Oh well; but I'll keep watching.

[@BowlerXcom]

worst in what way?

[@dswede9312]

You were very serious today. Loosen up a bit.

[@DtKnize]

Looks good but it's the ugliest ball I've ever seen! They should have called it the Circus Clown.

[@chadwhedbee5581]

I think it's kinda close to a nova as far as colors, except this has much brighter and flamboyant colors

[@theripoffchicago]

Great review. Terrible colors.

[@BowlerXcom]

its pretty!
