- Trident Nemesis

First Impressions
The Motiv Trident Nemesis comes in a striking Teal Pearl and Black Pearl look and sets a modern visual standard for Motiv. The specs show a 2.52 RG, a 0.049 differential and an intermediate differential of 0.013 in 15-pound balls. The ball uses the new Infusion HV (High Volume) Pearl Reactive coverstock technology in combination with the asymmetric Sidewinder core. The surface is polished to 5500 grit LSP out of the box. Motiv bills the Trident Nemesis as the most angular asymmetric ball the company has ever produced. Comparison
Compared to previous Trident models, the new Sidewinder core offers a higher RG, a lower total differential and a lower intermediate differential than the Turbulent core used in earlier Trident releases. The Infusion HV coverstock is based on the successful Infusion Pearl Reactive technology from the Motiv Supra, but has been developed further so that it can handle more oil without compromising the down-lane motion. Users describe the ball as the ideal middle ground between the stronger Alpha Jackal and the weaker Supra. Interestingly, some testers found the Supra to be more versatile despite its theoretically lighter spec package. On the Lanes
The Trident Nemesis is designed for medium to heavy oil conditions and should provide impressive backend motion and powerful continuation. Tweeners and strokers posted excellent results on medium patterns, since they got both traction in the midlane and a big move in the dry. The characteristic ball motion shows up as clean skid through the heads and midlane before the ball grabs hard and uses the stored energy for a massive corner on the backend. The ball works both on fresh medium-heavy oil and on heavier conditions that have already broken down somewhat. The angularity does offer good miss room to the outside, but less forgiveness on shots that get too far inside.
