- DESCRIPTION: Beat the competition on light to medium oil with the black and blue MOTIV QZ2. It features the Quadfire inner core, MOTIVator-Z Reactive cover, Reverb outer core, and exclusive NeoMark graphics.
The proven Quadfire inner core produces an RG that stores energy for the backend reaction and a differential for controlled track flare. The 15# ball has an RG rating of 2.55 and differential of .043.
The 2-color shell on the QZ2 Quadfire is MOTIVator-Z Reactive. This cover gives you a strong and consistent reaction on light to medium oil.
The Black and Blue Pearl QZ2 is 4000 wet sanded and then polished with Power Gel. This gives it a little more length on the lane than the previous QZ releases.
The Reverb outer core of the QZ2 is a low-density polyester resin with pin piercing hardness and strength. Rather than absorb impact energy, this outer core reverberates energy as it explodes through the pins.
The Black and Blue Pearl QZ2 coverstock is integrated with Silver Pearl NeoMark logo graphics. These graphics are also formulated from MOTIVator-Z reactive urethane so you have a consistent reaction 360° around the ball surface.

MOTIV DOES IT AGAIN. By J How from Indiana
Reviewed on: 10/19/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Image Submitted by Reviewer:Customer Image (MOTIV DOES IT AGAIN.) Not only does this ball look great, but it is another great product from the folks at Motiv. I tried a layout on this ball that I have had a lot of success with on other balls, and this ball out preformed both of the previous balls. I drilled this one at 30x40x4.5" pin. This reaction was very smooth and the ball still broke hard off of the spot. Even if you have the QZ1's this ball is a must have! Great Job Motiv! Justin Motiv Staff Was this review helpful to you?

Another tool in the arsenal By Dugbark from Louisville, KY
Reviewed on: 11/15/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Bowler Stats-Ball Speed 17 MPH Rev Rate-App 280 Axis of Rotation-30 to 60 degrees Axis Tilt 9 degrees Right Handed PAP-5 over, 1/4" up The Motiv QZ2 ball is designed for medium and light oil patterns. The ball is as advertised. It pushes through the heads with ease unless all the oil is gone. When the ball finds friction it makes an agressive angular and continuous move to the pocket. For me it plays more angular then the RX1/Recon as well as the QZ1. (Note: My QZ1 is drilled pin in ring finger, CG kicked out QZ2 Pin above Middle finger CG in Palm) I am able up the boards, swing it out to the dry or play an tight inside shot. This ball is very versatile for me. The ball recovers well, in a skid flip/quick transition manner and keeps the pins low when the pocket is hit. If you use this ball as designed, that is on patterns that have light oil in the heads, or broken down by league or tournament play, it will be a very effective ball. To throw it on a fresh THS (Typical House Shot) will require throwing it to the dry, which many bowlers are very comfortable with. The QZ2 gives Motiv a piece of equipment for Motiv believers as a step between the QZ1's, when it is too much and the Recon, for when it is too littel. I'm very colorblind but the Neomark Graphic makes the ball very pleasing to the eye and give it good shelf appeal. Dug Barker Asst.

QZ2 By MOTIV GIRL from Westland,Michigan
Reviewed on: 11/17/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend MOTIV QZ2 REVIEW My information: Ball Speed-15mph average,Rev Rate-265 Average,Axis Rotation-45degrees, Axis Tilt-15 degrees. Lane Surfaces Tested On-2yr. old Pro Anvilane Second generation. 10 year old Anvilanes,16 year old Anvilanes,30 year old wood,30+year old wood,with 8 year old guardian heads. Specs of Ball Used-15 lb.,3"pin,3oz. top,Drilling-60x40 @4",P3 Hole,1 1/64 bit 21/2"deep, Fingers drilled 1'" deeper with 7/8" bit. Coverstock-The same as the QZ1's is the MOTIVator-Z reactive.The OOB has been adjusted to 40000 wet/sand and highly polished with MOTIV Power Gel. Core-The Quadfire core is the same found in the QZ1's.The Rg rating is 2.55,and the diff.is .043 in the 15-lb balls. Color-The color is the all new black/blue with silver Neo-Mark logos and graphics. Intended Condition-Light to medium oil. Opening Thoughts: When I sat down to write this review for the QZ2,it became quite evident that it would not be easy. What words and phrases,terms,could it come up with to describe the QZ2. I was at a lose for words,Since MOTIV released their first ball,they have produced one quality ball after another.So finding more to say about these great ball became harder. Then a few things hit me.And it became much clearer. *Will the QZ2 be any different from the QZ1's Red and Purple? Yes, the QZ2 is different. It offers greater length and a sharper angular backend at the breakpoint. *Does the change in coverstock prep,now at 4000 wet/sand and highly polished make a difference. Yes.The coverstock adjustment gave me about 2' more length and a larger angular look at the breakpoint. It cleared the heads with ease. *Why will the coverstock prep at 4000 wet/sand and highly poliished matter to the average bowler. Yes.I have found out by talking to average bowlers through the years,that most bowlers like to keep the surface of their ball at the OOB surface that the manufacturer started with. They will just use another ball with a different surface and core, and drilling than mess with what is working for them. When these bowlers sand their ball,they find that they have a hard time getting it back to the same surface it started at. Bowlers find it easier to keep the ball at the OOB surface. They will then clean and polish as needed.It's easier to keep it simple. So yes,the QZ2 offers a different look on the lanes. Also another choice to choose from. *Does color change matter? I have had more comments on the color than I can recall. Color does matter.One of the most popular colors is blue.So blue/black with silver logos and graphics is a great selling point. Review Comments The MOTIVator-Z pearl blue/black coverstock comes wet/sanded at 4000 and highly polished. It was designed for length and a fast move when it hits friction at the breakpoint. The Quadfire Symmetric core helps supply length and decent revs, for medium/dry conditions.I got 3"-4" of flare.The ball did just what it was designed to do.It gave me more length and a sharper move downlane.It got through the drying heads and light push, all the while maintaining a sharp angular turn at the breakpoint. The QZ2 was best on lighter oil to medium volumes.Higher volumes of oil might require you to scuff it up some to improve traction in oil. Higher rev players may find they will get a great look with with more surface on fresh oil and clean backends. The QZ2 gave me a late and sharp turn on medium oil patterns with fresh backends.The QZ2's hard move off friction allows you to swing the ball away from the pocket and still have it recover. The length the QZ2 gets through the heads easy,and still keeps its axis rotation which helps to conserve energy when coming in contact with the pocket. Overall a great ball for most styles.Just find a condition that light to medium,and you will not be disappointed. MOTIV GIRL Angela Wilt:MOTIV Staff Member [@] Was this review helpful to you?
