We finally get our hands on the Motiv Purple Tank Bowling Ball. This continues the big urethane trend with a strong urethane reaction. How close is this to the Purple Hammer??

Is this ball true urethane, or a plasticiser ball like Pitch purple?
it’s urethane, nothing like the pitch purple.
From what I’ve seen this ball turns into a totally different monster when shined
Yeah, I can see that it will be easier to use when lane shined.
Polish the tank you will be surprised.As a rev dominant bowler the out of box surface was way to early and was a flat ten nightmare.Polished on houseshots works really good.
Yeah I think I will let it lane shine which I believe will make it more effective.
It took me about 10 games for it to mellow out. As a 2 hander i throw this 13 to 10 down lane on house shot with out of box surface. On Allen pattern I go right up the 8 board with it. After I used the motiv polish cleaner it allows it to be more controlled, and I go right up 6 on house. When I bowled on turnpike with it at that finish, I was standing on 6 and hitting 7. Over all it is a very very good ball, and a very wonderful addition to my arsenal for college bowling.
I do also go only up the back of the ball with urethane; it would be too early if I hit up on it.
