Motiv Aspire Spare Ball Review

What's going on, guys? Welcome back to the channel. My name is Louis, and on today's video, we are going to talk about the brand new Motive Spare Ball, the Aspire. Now, the Aspire is a pure polyester spare ball uh that comes in four different color options. I had a poll on my channel and people voted unanimous, not unanimously, but like there was like 2,000 votes and like 49% wanted me to get the sky blue one. So, that's exactly what we're going to do. Before we get into any more details, please consider subscribing to the

Huge shout out and thank you to Jerry Frankmano here at Sunset Station for accommodating us. As always, you're also going to notice I'm wearing my brand new Dexter C the C9 knits. Now, I'm not on staff with Dexter, but they did hook me

up. They did take care of me. I shot some videos for them, and uh of all the shoes they sent me, these are the ones that are the most comfortable. So, shout out to Dexter. Again, they didn't ask me to do that. I'm doing that just because I want to. So, we're here. We're going to be shooting the 10pin to start. I was going to shoot this initially somewhere else. Um, but the other place I went to didn't allow me to set up pins however I wanted. So, that's what we're going to do. Uh, I did drill this two-handed. Now, the reason I did that is because I am going to be bowling hybrid this year in league, but I didn't I'm not sure

which way I'm going to shoot spares yet. So, because of that, I drilled it two-handed and then if I end up wanting to go one-handed, then I'll just drill a thumb in. But, if I drill a thumb and then decide I want to stay two-handed, then I have to plug that thumb. So, for right now, we're going to be throwing this two-handed. And who knows, maybe I'll draw a second one and bring two different spare balls every week to league. We'll see you on the lanes. All right. So, here's going to be the first one. Now, keep in mind, this is an excuse. Someone said that I make excuses. This Listen, I'm Cuban from Miami. I make excuses. No big deal,

right? I haven't shot spares all summer. League starts in two weeks. This was a good time to get this spare ball. So, we're going to shoot a couple 10 pins. We'll shoot a couple 610s. 3610s, blah blah blah blah blah. You already know how we do it. So, we're going to get here. Let's learn how to shoot a 10 pin again. That looks pretty good. Yeah. I mean, it goes straight. Uh, you know, these spare reviews, someone said that, oh, you can

see when it slows down, blah, blah, blah. All the spare balls are going to slow down and hook just a little bit. Especially me being two-handed, I'm not going to get a spare ball that's going to go 100% dead straight. You know, this has a little bit of a pancake core. The differential is pretty high. I don't I don't know why. You know, I asked him I asked Scott Hwitt when I saw him. I said, "Hey, why does it have such a high differential?" As of the time of recording, I don't have an answer. But this is pure polyester. It's not like

the snipers where the snipers like the oil doesn't pancake on the cover. I feel like on this the oil stays on the cover. No, we're one for one. We should stop the video cuz I haven't missed yet. I'm I'm telling you, I'm going to miss a 10 pin in this video. There's no way around that. But it's okay. You know, it slows down a little bit,

sure, but it goes pretty straight and that's all I can ask for. Uh maybe I'll shoot one more 10 pin and then I'll reset the rack. This is not going to be I'm not going to be able to do this in completely one take without a bunch of dead time while I'm resetting the pins. Um so you're just going to have to believe me. All right, we'll shoot one more 10 pin here. And I feel like I really have to wipe this because the oil just like stays on the cover.

My ball speed there says well the first one says 14 1/2. The second one says 36. So obviously the speed gauge is wrong. Yeah. I mean it goes straight. That's all I can say about that. Uh, pause right now. It's going to be only a quick second for you guys. I'm going to switch over the uh the things. And actually, I

might just keep it going like this. Change pattern and just reset this. All right. So, it is just going to be one shot. I'll just fast forward through that. Now we're going to shoot the 610. You know, I I think that I mean, we've already seen what we need to see, right? Does the ball go straight? Yes. Does Lewis suck at shooting spares? I would say yes, but I went three for

three with a 10pin, which is my most common leave. So, for this, you know, I'm going to move three boards, right? I follow the 369 rule, uh, which means if I if I 10 pin, I stand at 35, right? Stand at 35. If I 610, I move three right. If I 3610, I move three right. So 369. Three boards, six boards, nine boards. So I'm going to move three right. Shoot the same spot.

And I think it's important that when you shoot spares, this video is not really about how to shoot spares, but I think it's important that when you shoot spares, you're not thinking about, oh, where do I need to stand? Where do I need to do this? If I 10pin, I go to the same spot every time. If I 610, I go to the same spot every time. If I 3610, I go to the same spot every time. It just makes it easier. So, we'll shoot this one more time. I really want to shoot the 3610 because I don't normally throw that straight. I

normally uh just like hook at it, but I think this year I really want to take a you know a commitment here and and shoot spares with my spare ball. Oh, I might miss that. Oh, got it, baby. I I did miss left and it hooked just a little bit. Let's switch this over to the 3610.

You know, all that matters is that you made it. Nothing else matters. You know, my speed has been pretty consistent between 14 12 and 15, except for that one that read at 36 milesPH, which obviously I did not throw 36 miles an hour at that at that ball at that pin. So, something was off there. All right.

So, 3610 again. I'm just going to move three boards, right? Let's hit some air here. So, three, man. I might miss it. Oh, got it. Hey, I haven't missed a spare yet. Yeah. I mean, I really, really wanted to

throw this straight at all these pins to see if it was going to curve cuz, you know, that differential, I'm not going to lie to you, did scare me. Um, seeing a spare ball with that much differential as a two-hander who's rev dominant because I don't throw the ball very fast was very scary. Sunset Station, whether you want to believe me or not, right, Sunset Station is the hookingest bowling center in Las Vegas. Ask anyone who lives here, anyone who's bowled here, they'll tell you the truth. And that spare ball is going straight.

Ultimately, that's all that I can ask for. I, you know, I I Does it go straight? Yes. Can I shoot it at the 10 pin as a two-hander? Yes. Everything else kind of just falls into place. So, let me know in the comments. What do you think about this Aspire spare ball? Are you going to get one? Are you not going to get one? It is significantly cheaper than the snipers price point- wise. Snipers are like 210 bucks. These, I think the last time I checked, they're like 70 bucks. So, for me, I I like the

price point of that aspire. So guys, we'll see you on the next video.
