Motiv Pride Dynasty Bowling Ball Features:
The Pride line has come roaring back stronger and ready to take on even more oil than before. The Pride Dynasty from MOTIV is a stronger, more controllable solid ball intended to serve as a benchmark in a modern bowling environment. With a massive cover upgrade and a unique asymmetric core, the Pride Dynasty is not just ready to take on any conditions; it’s here to conquer them!
Unleash the ferocity of new Leverage MFS Solid Reactive coverstock technology! Never before has the Leverage cover technology been used for a medium oil ball. This technology is much stronger in oil and more controlled than previous covers found in the Pride line. On medium oil conditions, Leverage MFS gives that same smooth, commanding breakpoint motion as other Leverage shells such as those found on the Black Venom and Jackal Ambush.
At its heart lies the Dominion asymmetrical core. This beast displays a moderate primary RG differential and low intermediate that allows the Pride Dynasty to dominate on medium oil volumes and higher friction surfaces. Where more extreme asymmetric cores, such as the Predator core found in the Jackal line, would be too overpowering, the Dominion core thrives. Additionally, the asymmetric physics provides ball drillers with greater layout versatility since weight holes are no longer allowed in competition.
When To Use:
- Speed Dominant Bowlers – Speed dominant bowlers will use the Pride Dominion as a medium-dry to medium oil benchmark ball, providing a smooth motion off of the friction to get a read on an oil pattern. Higher friction surfaces with fresh oil will be ideal for the Pride Dynasty.
- Balanced Bowlers – For balanced bowlers the Pride Dynasty will serve as an asymmetrical benchmark. In the years since the original Pride was released, oil volumes have increased and the need for a stronger, more controlled Pride arose. The coverstock upgrade increases traction and control, which should allow balanced bowlers to read most lane conditions with ease using a Pride Dynasty.
- Rev Dominant Bowlers – For those who are rev dominant the Pride Dynasty will be a fresh oil ball for longer and higher volume patterns. The added traction of the new Leverage MFS shell will allow rev dominant bowlers to rely on the Pride Dynasty on more oil than the original Pride could ever handle.

I’ve had the pleasure to throw this ball early at a ball demo. As a 2-hander, this ball could easily serve as a stronger benchmark ball. It had easy length through the front and responded well to friction. At times though, it was a bit confusing as the cover is at 2000 grit, but with that easy length, it sometimes didn’t want to read early and missed the breakpoint. For not having thrown any ball in the Pride line, this was a good stepping stone to seeing what the core did. I loved the core shape, but I don’t necessarily think the cover matches it. Quite honestly, I would like to try it again, but with some polish.

The new Motiv Pride Dynasty is the strongest overall in the Pride line. The Pride Dynasty has the new Leverage MFS cover stock. This ball also features the Duramax additive to resist lane shine. The new Pride Dynasty is strong and very controllable. With the new Leverage MFS Cover stock wrapped around Dominion core can handle heavier amounts of oil. The Pride Dynasty allows me to play just about any part of the lanes. I can stay behind it and watch the ball roll forward or I can come around it and really open up the lane. If the Pride Dynasty gets close to the pocket, it creates a vortex and pulls everything to the pit. For me the Pride Dynasty will be by my side every time I walk in the alley to bowl.
