Motiv Blue Tank Bowling Ball Features:
Microcell Polymer is back by overwhelming demand! MOTIV is featuring this special cover technology along with the Halogen V2 core on the new Blue Tank. This combination creates a ball that offers the most traction through the front of the lane in the history of MCP. The added traction and strength found in the Blue Tank allows for bowlers to benefit from a controlled, urethane-like shape on higher volumes of oil than traditional urethane allows.
MOTIV invested a massive amount of research and development to engineer this new MCP (Microcell Polymer) shell and is excited to introduce Frixion M3 (Mark 3) Pearl. It is designed specifically for use when traditional urethane covers are not quite strong or continuous enough. It provides the Blue Tank with added traction in the front portion of the lane, displaying a more traditional urethane ball motion.
The Halogen V2 core was chosen for the Blue Tank to help provide more traction in the oil than the very low differential cores often used in traditional urethane balls. It has a high RG yet enough differential to produce more flare when strong layouts are used. It can also be drilled with a low flare layout like many traditional urethane balls. This versatility is what makes the Halogen V2 core perfect for the Blue Tank.

I drilled my Blue Tank 40x4x20 and noticed immediately just how smooth it was. The Blue Tank is another great addition to the microcell polymer line of bowling balls. The ball starts up real early and has a very nice continuous shape down lane. I’ve noticed this ball is a bit more early and more shape than the Desert Tank, which is amazing! Also love the color on it. Definitely a must have!!

The Blue Tank is the latest ball added to the amazing Tank line from Motiv bowling. This new Blue Tank has the Halogen V2 core wrapped around the Microcell Polymer Frixion M3 Pearl cover. This ball has a Urethane like shape through the fronts and a Resin like down lane motion. This is the perfect ball to get into when you want a smoother ball reaction and the Purple Tank isn’t quite strong enough.

The Blue Tank from Motiv is one of the most exciting pieces we have released. The Halogen core has always been one of my favorites and now having it wrapped in an Microcell polymer cover was music to my ears. The Blue Tank is a great addition to any ones bag as it offers versatility on medium-short patterns. I have been able to use it on a league night and still have it provide the extra downlane motion that is needed to kick the corner pins. If you are looking for a great tournament piece or a ball that is sure to help your game, get yourself a Blue Tank!

The Blue Tank is absolutely unbelievable and one of the most unique pieces I’ve ever thrown. I drilled two, one a 60x4x0 and one at 50x5x70 and they are completely different from each other. The 60x4x0 is crazy strong throughout the entire lane, it flares a ton and is genuinely stronger than my Venom Shock front to back on the lane and can cover almost as many boards left to right. The versatility I have seen out of this one is insane. The 50x5x70 Blue Tank on the other hand is all about control. It shapes like classic urethane through the front and mid part of the lane but continues through the pin deck just as well as any reactive ball on the market. The differences in layouts and reaction truly show how much you can customize this ball to your liking with just a layout alone. I think this is the best Microcell piece to come out, hands down. Finally, I would like to mention a huge feature of this ball that makes it the best MCP yet, how quickly the cover shines. Even after close to 50 games or more, the coverstock on the Blue Tank is not shiny by any means, and that’s with no resurface or cleaning. For me personally, that was something I fought with the Tank Blitz as it would shine up on me very quickly and my ball reaction would change too much, if you also had that issue with the Blitz, I promise that you will not with the Blue Tank. This is absolutely the BEST MCP ball yet!!!
