The traditional solid bowling ball is no longer good enough. Enter the new
EVOKE MAYHEM. After the absolute domination of the Evoke Hysteria, the
challenge was to build another Evoke as versatile and successful. That meant
breaking the normal rules. Instead of starting with a solid coverstock and
tweaking it, MOTIV worked backwards from the Propulsion MXV Pearl
coverstock—the cover that made the Hysteria special—and asked a different
question: How do we formulate this to make it hit harder, read earlier, and still
keep the down-lane shape people loved?
That’s how the first-ever Propulsion MXV Solid was born. “We spent a long
time testing this one,” said Brett Spangler, MOTIV’s PBA Tour Rep. “There was a
lot of pressure after the Hysteria won everything last year. The solution was
working backwards from the pearl Hysteria cover, which isn’t how we usually
test for solids.” Then we added Duramax additive technology, allowing the
Evoke Mayhem to stay dull longer and maintain performance over longer
periods. The result is a different type of solid coverstock for Motiv; a shell that
provides more length and down lane motion than the LeverageTM family of
covers, but substantially more traction than Propulsion pearls.
The insanely tunable OverloadTM asymmetrical core is the most versatile core in
the MOTIV line. It delivers a combination of a low RG, moderate differential,
and strong intermediate differential, slotting perfectly below the PredatorTM V2
and Apex PredatorTM cores featured in the Jackal® series. The Overload core lets
the ball driller dramatically raise or lower the primary differential depending on
layout. That means you can control total flare in a meaningful way. More flare
when you need strength. Less flare when you need control. That level of
adjustability means more bowlers can match up with the Evoke Mayhem in
even more environments!

When to Use

SPEED DOMINANT
Bowlers with exceptional
speed or lower rpm will find
the Evoke Mayhem useful on
moderate oil fresh conditions
and often during transition.
The added angularity of this
solid makes it a nice option
for speed dominant players
who find most solids to be
too smooth.
BALANCED
Bowlers whose speed and
rev rate match will love the
Evoke Mayhem when their
Evoke Hysteria is just a bit
too clean or angular. The
Evoke Mayhem will be a
fantastic option earlier in
play with the Evoke Hysteria
as a perfect go-to after the
oil is depleted.
REV DOMINANT
A cleaner and faster response
solid is a valuable tool for rev
dominant players who
sometimes get forced into
pearls too early in
competition and are forced to
sacrifice control. Rev
dominant players should use
the Evoke Mayhem when they
are creating some angle on
fresh, but are not ready to
step all the way left and let
the angular stuff fly.
