Motiv Shadow Tank Bowling Ball

Motiv Shadow Tank Bowling Ball

Even greater control emerges from the Shadows.  The Shadow Tank isn’t just another ball—it’s a weapon. Born from years of relentless development of Microcell Polymer technology, this Tank is the smoothest, most controllable MCP ball we’ve ever built.  This slow oil-absorption ball is over 78 hardness to give you urethane-level control without compromise.  If you’re tired of fighting over/under reactions, if you want a ball that you can trust when the lanes get ugly, this is it. The Shadow Tank gives you the ability to stay in control longer and play your game deeper into blocks.

We engineered the new Frixion M7 Pearl MCP cover to read earlier and slower than the previous M6 found on the Tank Rampage Pearl, which means less jump and more predictability. This is the most urethane-like MCP ball yet.  And paired with Duramax Additive technology, the Shadow Tank will hold its surface longer than anything prior.  When the lanes get tricky, this ball stays in play.

Pair that with the Flux core (2.57 RG / .015 differential) and you have a unique combo: a weaker core matched to a stronger shell.  This allows the cover to do the heavy lifting.  You get a smoother, more controllable motion that doesn’t surprise you down-lane. It’s deliberate. It’s weaponized.  Control wins tournaments.  And the Shadow Tank is a must-have weapon in every tournament bag.

WHEN TO USE:

Speed Dominant: Most speed dominant bowlers are able to use stronger balls earlier than their competitors, but in cases where there is just too much wet/dry on the lane or the oil pattern is quite short, the Shadow Tank will come in handy. Additionally, the Duramax additive means that if a speed dominant bowler needs to add surface to their Shadow Tank, it will stay duller longer than other balls in their bag.  This can come in handy for speed dominant bowlers using MCP coverstocks on challenging patterns.

Balanced: For balanced bowlers, the Tank series is a tool for exceedingly difficult patterns and fresh oil.  Short to moderate length patterns where control is of the utmost importance are ideal for balanced bowlers looking to use the Shadow Tank.  When shallow angles and control are what the pattern demands, the Shadow Tank is a critical tool in the balanced bowler’s toolbox.

Rev Dominant: Most likely, rev dominant players are the ones who will benefit the most from the Shadow Tank.  The high rev rate to speed ratio makes a low diff ball that doesn’t absorb much oil a great option where balanced and speed dominant bowlers may not see enough ball motion.  When there is just too much down lane motion, rev dominant players will usually be able to go to the Shadow Tank for the command of the pattern that they need.
