Villain

Item Number: MTVBVLKBS

43 Read Reviews

Something Sinister has returned to the MOTIV product line and is at the core of the new Villain.  Created to bring devastation on higher volume patterns, the Villain features an incredibly versatile Coercion MFS solid cover and the high RG asymmetric Sinister core.

In the shadows for years, the Sinister core has finally returned to give the powerful Villain easier length than any other asymmetric core in the MOTIV line.  Combining a high RG with loads of differential, the Sinister core enables the Villain to display impressive power and continuation down lane.

Cloaked in a new Coercion MFS Reactive cover, the solid black and blue Villain is powerful yet offers great versatility on medium-heavy lane conditions.  The 3000 Grit LSS finish provides a stable footprint while also allowing the Villain to retain enough energy to display outstanding continuation.    

The Villain offers incredible performance, versatility, and value.  It is the first asymmetric MOTIV ball ever offered below the premium price point and its versatile performance fits a wide variety of bowlers.  Adding to its versatility, the Villain responds very well to surface adjustments.  Take the finish down for a smoother motion on heavy oil or take it up to a higher grit for a moderate benchmark motion.

    Ball does not disappoint

    The Villain was the first ball from Motiv I ever got, and it has not disappointed me thus far.

    I have thrown it on a variety of patterns, challenge, sport, even PBA patterns, the ball does the business.

    My home house puts out Big Ben for its normal house shot, and this ball exclusively allowed me to shoot 722, my first 700 series ever, and was 2 pocket 7-10s away from having back to back 300s that night.

    This ball is an asym by name, but the reaction is not that of an asym like the Ghost, it is more akin to a symmetric core, and it works wonders.

    I have had this ball for almost a year, have thrown over 150 games on it, and it still keeps trucking, this one is a winner.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    I have had the Villain for roughly 10 months

    When I first tried this ball I already knew which conditions were ideal for it and I immediatley began striking. I always use the Villain on fresh oil since I do not have a stronger ball and I find that it works extremely well on heavy or medium-heavy oil if I throw it with a low axis rotation, while it is perfect on a slightly lighter pattern if I move left and increase the axis rotation until the lanes begin breaking down. Great ball.

    What an awesome ball!

    I’ve been bowling with Motiv for about 8 months now, and I love my Villain. I can strike from any angle and it drives through the pins like a truck. Highly recommend this bowling ball. Won’t regret it! :)

    What A Monstrous Ball!!

    This ball is an absolute beast! I have been using the Villain for a few weeks now, and I have to say I'm extremely impressed with how much hook this ball can generate! I'm a two-finger lefty bowler with medium speed and high revs. I typically use the villain on fresh oil conditions with a modified 4000+ grit polish. This bowling ball is about ±10 boards stronger than my Brunswick Rhino that I use for dryer conditions! I was completely blown away at how far I could throw out and STILL find a way back to the pocket! When it hits the pocket, it blows right through the pins like there's nothing there! This ball has that WOW factor that will leave you speechless at the potential that this ball has! Definitely worth the buy!
