To my eyes the lightning can't touch that thrill. The solid thrill is number two out of the bag for me. I agree with you that ball strikes all day long. What a deal. Love your videos
The price difference is huge between the thrill and blackout. Blackout didn’t look so good for this shot today. If I needed/want a lower end symmetric it would be between the max thrill solid and artic vibe.
Between that ball and the thrill solid I'd be set for League. I have 10 fresh bowling balls and not a single one is motive. However, the thrill solid is the next on my list. You did really well with both of those. On the other hand, another ball tonight is not nearly forgiving and is over under.
lol my arctic vibe just came in yesterday and now I have to buy a max thrill pearl, THANKS CHARLES...lmao naw all jokes aside man keep up the great content, I still have to order a hype shammy 2!!!!
I was on my last game of the set and couldn't find ANYTHING all day. Finally busted my RAW Pearl out of the bag and bowled 259 iirc. Definitely looking at the max thrill or an arctic vibe if I want another ball. Still feeling the Rhino Teal Pro a lot yesterday (finished 229,228 pulling out the 600 after not bowling for a month and getting 148 the first game)
I just got this ball last night. It was skidding down the lane and I couldn’t understand why. My pro shop guy suggested that I hit it with a pad. I hit it with a 5000 Trucut pad and it started getting really good. I then went to a 3000, and it really came to life. I’m not going lower right now. It was an amazing transformation. I’m really look forward to using this one more in league.
Nice! These low end type balls are what I use mostly. Been using hustle's and have been interested in the new thrills, low speed guys like myself love this kind of equipment the high end stuff just pushes me left into a zone that is to deep, too much angle, even from the start of league on a freash shot. Are you going to get the other thrill? Would love to see a comparison with the hustle's.
I have had every one of the @MotivBowling Thrill line, my favorite was Thrill (Pink/Yellow) Pearl (Flux Core) (2020). When the original Top Thrill (purple/Red) (Modified Halogen Core) line came out in 2021 ball was way more responsive than I needed (house shot) when laid out identical to my OG Thrill, and I moved away from it quickly. Then the Top Thrill Solid and Hybrid came out in 8/2023 and I got both I liked the Hybrid better, however, due to a span and pitch change I put them away (gave the hybrid to a youth bowler). Last night I broke the Top Thrill Solid (with my old span and pitches) out for summer league and got through one game before I had change balls to something that blended the shot more (Black Venom) (should have kept the Hybrid). In my opinion the Thrill line has always been more "powerful" than what they are marketed for. If I am being honest, I have pre ordered both the Max Thrill Solid and Pearl they will be my one two punch for summer league with my Black Venom serving as a blend the shot back up for when I'm on a pair with the "crankers" and "plastic" throwers (LOL).
Brah, the Tribal (grey ball) was a beast. Same Core, similar cover. The biggest problem with all the 1000 balls everyone is making....Is the new rule change that they say wasn't gonna change anything...LIE and the OIL. These lower end balls were KING back just even 3-4 years ago. Motion Holes were Dominant and effective. Why you think they changed it? The balls are getting better with new cores to overcome that change. However, everything is strong and harder to DIAL IN!!!!!
Motiv definitely came out with a ball that can go toe to toe with the Storm Lightning Blackout. Also, Hutch, I want to make three new jerseys with Coolwick, but I want to go through 12Bagger Bowling specifically. Is there someone with 12Bagger I can reach out to for a collab? I’d also like to incorporate The Hype on these jerseys.
I'm a low rev bowler, and wondering if I could build an arsenal (3 ball) Motiv Max Thrill with the solid, pearl and my plastic ball? I just do league, and tournaments when it's a house shot.
Hey brother! I love your contents. I will be in Fort Lauderdale next months. I want to make my way to the bowling center you recommended. Hopefully I can get the chance to meet you brother.
I have to tell you.. I'm currently in a tourney of 6 games squads, 40 ft 1:4 21ml, My bag is: purple urethane, polaris, nova, p2, rstx2, wolverine Man lanes were hooking... managed to get 1100 series, scores weren't high. Yesterday went for a practice session on that pattern, took my hustle i never get to use, 910 for 4 games.. I have my next squad this week, hoping the hustle will do me as good as the practice session. Tl;dr- you're 100% right on the car metaphor, the low end balls sometimes never get the attention they should get.
Hustles get all the attention for being bang for your buck entry-level/weak reactives, and rightfully so. But there's a lot to be said for Motiv's Thrill line. They've really beefed up the cover strengths and core numbers over the past couple years. Thrills are serious competitors now.
The motive ball is 10 times the quality of the lightning. You notice you're in the pocket all day long with the motive and you can't hit the pocket with the other one. The black ball has a huge problem and that is over under. Garbage 🗑️
Thank you Charles for bringing us the "goods" again! Motiv is no joke!
To my eyes the lightning can't touch that thrill. The solid thrill is number two out of the bag for me. I agree with you that ball strikes all day long. What a deal. Love your videos
Was waiting for one these new motiv videos! My guy comes thru once again

100% agree
I can attest the new thrill solid is a banger
Yeah love that stop-hook motion for the pearl.
Y'all subscribe to this mans channel! He brings the Heat!
Dang, Charles, this Thrill looks absolutely nuts. Guaranteed strikes if the ball is in the right spot. Looking forward to see how the solid compares.
favorite colors of 2024!

Hopefully, I'll be seeing you with the new Venom EXJ in your hands soon
lol my arctic vibe just came in yesterday and now I have to buy a max thrill pearl, THANKS CHARLES...lmao naw all jokes aside man keep up the great content, I still have to order a hype shammy 2!!!!
my arctic coming in toma lmk how you like it
My hustle RIP at 2k is my favorite ball in my bag right now!
Can you do a review of the motiv Supra vs the max thrill pearl.

5k in my opinion doesn’t do much but 3k or 2k are money when dealing with polish
I have a Hustle M-M for the transition. I don't hesitate to bring her out.... Thrilly Vanilly...😂

You read my mind! It’s on the way the Max thrill solid will be up this weekend for sure!
@@TheHype-Bowling super cool, look forward to seeing your review.
Nothing low end about motiv. It's just for dry lanes
The max solid is longer from what I have seen. Both have a place in my bag.
Love the reviews Charles!

love Motiv balls but last 2 cracked at the emblem. Thrill and blue coral venom. I tend to stay away unless its a tank.
I would love to see a comparison between the Max Thrill pearl and the Scorpion Strike on a transitioned house shot.
Motiv definitely came out with a ball that can go toe to toe with the Storm Lightning Blackout.
Also, Hutch, I want to make three new jerseys with Coolwick, but I want to go through 12Bagger Bowling specifically. Is there someone with 12Bagger I can reach out to for a collab? I’d also like to incorporate The Hype on these jerseys.
Shoot me a message on Facebook and let’s see what we can do.
@@TheHype-BowlingI no longer have Facebook, unfortunately.
How do you compare the new vibe to the thrill?
Vibe gives you more control the thrill is more off the spot!
@TheHype-Bowling thanks bruh
I definitely like that ball
I'm a low rev bowler, and wondering if I could build an arsenal (3 ball) Motiv Max Thrill with the solid, pearl and my plastic ball? I just do league, and tournaments when it's a house shot.
I’m intrigued
Hey brother! I love your contents. I will be in Fort Lauderdale next months. I want to make my way to the bowling center you recommended. Hopefully I can get the chance to meet you brother.
Charles records these at Bowlero in Tamarac but Strikers is where the fun is at (and the easiest shot on earth)
RU sure this ball is for transition?
How would you compare the Lightning Blackout with the Ethos?
Throw it in the ditch bar open?
Unrelated but the Arctic Vibe vs. DV8 Hater. How do these 2 balls compare?
Hater is much much stronger.
Im having a hard time understanding why this channel only has 18k subs. There are far inferior channels with double that.
How is the thrill on the fresh fresh tho…? Tell me it’s bad so I don’t buy another ball lol
It’s pretty good on Fresh as well 😂 or just use the solid lol
I’m sold
Dammit now I gotta get another Thrill 🤦🏽♂️
If you can only keep one max thrill the solid o the pearl which one you keep ?
Pearl for me.
I have to tell you..
I'm currently in a tourney of 6 games squads, 40 ft 1:4 21ml,
My bag is: purple urethane, polaris, nova, p2, rstx2, wolverine
Man lanes were hooking... managed to get 1100 series, scores weren't high.
Yesterday went for a practice session on that pattern, took my hustle i never get to use, 910 for 4 games..

motiv is the best brand by far
U mean entry price. Thos thing cound easily be 30-40 bucks more. Its a dry lane ball. Not every lane has the good stuff
Lighting isn't entry level
Nope it is not. But the people want to see how it stacks up.
@@TheHype-Bowling the Thrill is not entry level either. Motiv says it high performance for light oil.
Everyone thinks blue balls are pretty… Just saying 😂
The motive ball is 10 times the quality of the lightning. You notice you're in the pocket all day long with the motive and you can't hit the pocket with the other one. The black ball has a huge problem and that is over under. Garbage 🗑️
