The Motiv Ascent Apex combines the high RG and low differential Recon core with the new Fusion XL (Xtra Length) coverstock. This new coverstock comes at a 1500 grit polished box finish. These elements come together to form a fantastic reaction on medium to drier conditions. In fact, we had equal success on both our medium and dry test patterns. This ball cleared the front of the lane easily on both these patterns and had plenty of hit at the pins.

On the medium, Tweener and Cranker were able to throw this ball away from the headpin while still seeing enough recovery at the back end to get them back to the pocket. Stroker’s lower rev
