A great competitive advantage in bowling today is modern urethane.  It provides bowlers with control and the ability to play different parts of the lane than reactive resin.  However, because urethane also has clear weaknesses, MOTIV® set out to create the ultimate cover material that harnesses the strengths of traditional urethane, but offers far more versatility. Introducing the Covert Tank. 

The revolutionary Frixion™ cover material MOTIV® developed for the Covert Tank is not urethane nor reactive resin. It is microcell polymer. Traditional urethane is virtually non-absorbing while reactive resin is highly absorbent.  Frixion™ microcell polymer absorbs oil at a fraction of the speed of reactive resin, but is still capable of absorbing oil at a very slow rate.  This microscopic difference creates more continuation and better pin carry without sacrificing traction. 

While typical urethane balls are primarily used by bowlers with a high rev rate, the Covert Tank is a more versatile piece that will benefit more styles of play because it merges this new microcell polymer cover with a strong Torx™ weight block.  The higher differential produces more track flare, which both improves backend motion and also limits oil redistribution.  Traditional urethane balls tend to have lower track flare, struggle with pin carry, and push more oil down lane.

Even the color scheme of the Covert Tank was created with the competitive bowler in mind.  The solid black cover with dark gray pearl NeoMark graphics provides a crisp contrast to the lane surface so ball motion is easy to see.

    Tank

    Still working with the Tank. Hits hard but hooks early and a lot for me. Sanded it to 4000 and polished it still turns early and hard. Thinking plug and re-drill, but it's me not the ball. I will say I don't see this as a Light Oil Ball.

    Covert Tank

    This ball is absolutely amazing. It’s so smooth and versatile it can play straight down first arrow and it can play deeper on some conditions. The cover stock on this ball makes it different than any other ball.

    Amazing

    This ball has a great reaction. Very even and clean. Stronger than any other urethane I have thrown.
    Highly recommended.

    Covert Tank Is A Must Have!

    I recently acquired a Covert Tank! When you need control and predictability, this ball thrives! This ball allows me to play closer to the friction without worrying about the ball overreacting when it sees friction! It blends the wet/dry conditions very well! It’s very smooth and predictable motion! Between the core and the coverstock, it opens up a lot of possibilities that traditional urethane does not. I like that it flares enough to prevent destruction of lane patterns as well, so you can use it on fresh or burnt!
    For competitive bowlers, this is a must have for your arsenal!
