Comments about Motiv Recon RX1 Silver Pearl:

I use it for when the lanes dry out and there is no carry with my other ball, when it hits it
sounds like a tank and thats why i got the ball. It doesnt jump down the lane

Flare-2"

Ball 15lbs 2 oz. ,2.5 oz.top,with a 3'pin.

with a P3 weight hole,2/12" deep,with a 1 1/64' bit,

Lanes-Wood 30 years old,Anvil lanes 15 years old,Pro anvil lanes 2 years old.

The Recon core helps delay the revs,making it easier to get down lane.

The Pearl MOTIVator-X coverstock which is wet/sanded at 4000 and polished
with MOTIV Power Gel Polish helps get this RX1 through the heads and midlane
with ease.There isn't any sign of the Recon going up at the mids.The RX1 Silver
Pearl gets about two more feet in length than the original RX1.

The Silver Pearl RX1 is a control ball.The control at the backend of the pattern is
just what you need for dry lanes.The motion down the lane is a perfect fit for
dry lanes,short sport patters,and drier side to side fresh house shots.

What the RX1 Silver pearl is not,is a oil ball.Just put it back in the back.
This ball is weak enough to put your favorite strong drilling.The stronger
drilling on such a weak ball is a perfect fit for playing from deeper inside
shots.

Overall:This RX1 is one of the best dry lane balls I have ever thrown.
If you are looking for a control ball for dry lanes,give the RX1 a shot.

MOTIV SILVER PEARL RECON RX1Coverstock:The MOTIVator-X™ reactive coverstock on the Recon RX1 compliments the core perfectly for attacking light oil conditions. It tames friction on the lanes, yet still provides excellent recovery and hitting power. Box Finish: 4000 Wet Sand/Power Gel PolishThe factory finish on the Silver pearl RX1 is 4000 wet sand with Power Gel polish. This finish will provide excellent length on a light oil condition.Inner CoreIt provides a higher RG to control revs and a moderate differential to smooth out reaction down the lane. The RX1 has an RG of 2.59 and a .025 diff (15# ball).The MOTIV™ Recon RX1 features the NeoMark graphic, and with all NeoMark graphics, the logo is actually part of the coverstock so it can be sanded, polished, or tuned just like any other performance ball.Review:The reaction from this ball is just what Motiv advertises, smooth through the fronts and midlanes then continuous in the back part of the lane. Again this ball is made for short to light oil patterns. Compared to the Recon RX1 Orange, the Silver pearl RX1 gives you a few more feet in length because of the addition of the Power Gel Polish and pearl cover but you get the similar continuation through the pindeck.My recommendations is to use this ball where it shines best and that is very short patterns with very clean backends. Don't drill this ball weak since the cover is what gets the ball down the lane not the drill pattern. Tip: Drill weight hole off the VAL to increase differential, drill weight hole on VAL to create a less aggressive motion at roll phase.Ernie SeguraMotiv Seed Program (Michigan)[@]USBC Certified Silver Level Coach36 Certified 300's19 Certified 800's

This is another GREAT entry by the Motiv family.Plain and simple this is a really fun ball to throw. It is very clean through the heads, and very smooth off the dry, not jumpy. The ball is for short oil, burned up shots and high friction lane surfaces, they say. I had the chance to practice with one of mine on two different shots. I was able to throw it on a fresh USBC White #2 and a burned up one. This ball gave me a lot of miss in the friction, and I only made a 3-4 board move on the burned up shot, which proves to me the high level of versatility in the ball. This ball not only looks good, it makes you look good. All bowlers will enjoy this ball, especially at this price point. [...]DavidBowlers Design Pro ShopPBA Member[...]
