Motiv Purple Tank
The Tank series of bowling balls is one of the longest-running product lines in Motiv history. The Tank bowling balls are known for their control on the harshest of lane conditions. With that same criteria, Motiv introduces the Purple Tank Urethane mid-performance bowling ball. Unlike its predecessors, the Purple Tank has a true urethane coverstock. The coverstock on this ball was built on the technology of the Microcell Polymer but without the issues caused by oil absorption. This coverstock design creates control as well as aggressive traction. It is paired with the proven Flux core to increase the control of the ball and lower the track flare. This core has success on wet/dry conditions when bowlers tend to need shallower angles. The Motiv Purple Tanks is a great match on harsh oil patterns, short sport conditions, and also for big rev bowlers looking for control by providing awesome traction at the mid-lane and the control down the lane that urethane is known for.

Customer Questions & Answers | Reviews
Question:
is this a good ball to use on the house shot
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball is rated for medium oil conditions but it will have a weaker hook than some of the reactive coverstock balls rated for the same conditions. This may not work as your first ball out of the bag but it would be good to use as the lanes start to break down some in the second or third game.

Question:
What kind of hook radios does it have
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
On Motivs website they have their own scale that they use for hook ratings. The list Length, Backend, and Hook. This ball has Length 11 , Backend 12 , and Hook 44. This is not a very aggressive ball since it was a urethane coverstock which would be less aggressive than the Reactive coverstock options.

Question:
will this work on very dry lanes
Have an answer to this question?
Answer:
This ball was designed to work on medium oil conditions. Because it is a urethane ball it will not have a high hook potential on medium oil so if you used it in lighter or drier conditions it may try to earlier and have a higher hook potential so you would have to adjust to get it to work well in those conditions.
