Motiv Covert VIP ExJ Review

This year's EJ Ball is apparently open for pre-orders and it's big news for me. I will definitely be getting one or 10 and will definitely have a review when the time comes, but let's get through the information and see what you need to do to pick one up yourself. Oddly enough, it's kind of quiet. I've seen nothing at all from Motive on it, no announcement or official information. There's nothing on the website, not even a Facebook post, even though several places are claiming it's working like last year. April 10th is apparently the order deadline, so if you want one, you need to get your order in. A link to BowlersMart is in the description to get one ordered, but I can't really find a

confirmation on the order deadline anywhere. Uh June 3rd is the release date, that's confirmed at least. Now, there ended up being plenty of E Jackals available last year because pro shops and distributors and really anyone that wants to order one can order one, and I'm sure that everybody will order plenty to have extras. Uh you'll just need to pre-order one if you abs- if you want to absolutely guarantee that you get one. Now, it's going to cost you, but that's to be expected here and it's par for the course when it comes to a special edition player ball like this. This year's EJ Ball is basically a remake of the Covert Revolt, which is uh

what you're seeing on the screen right now, the original Covert, not the remake, not the new EJ Ball yet, naturally. And this is major for me. Uh back before I signed with Storm, I was a Motive guy, and the only three balls I needed to take anywhere were a Covert Revolt, Sigma Tour, and the original Silver Tribal. They made some crazy good stuff back then, and the Covert was and still is one of the best strong solid symmetrics I've ever thrown. Think Symmetric Jackal Ghost for the best comparison I can give you or Stronger Primal Ghost, uh like directly in

between them, and I know you're definitely recognizing that from watching the ball reaction. Same core, uh Vanquish Symmetric, very strong, 2.47 RG, 0.56 differential in 15 lb. Very similar numbers to the cores in the Raptor and Forge lines, but but pretty different shapes. Uh actually looks almost identical to the Predator V2 core in the Jackal Ghost, which would make sense with the general rolls being familiar. The original cover was Turmoil HFS Solid, that's been upgraded to Leverage HFS Solid. Uh Leverage is their stronger

formula that they use, so it's going to be a strong ball, but a pretty different shape, I think, from the Raptor Rain. Uh again, just bigger Primal Ghost or Symmetric Jackal Ghost, the rounder, more continuous shape that still gets some decent length and good shape on the back end, strong benchmark kind of ball. They remade the Covert once, and it was good, but it wasn't quite the same for people that remember the OG. Here's hoping this one recaptures the magic, but big big drop for this year's EJ Ball. I expect it to be very popular. I go through so much equipment that not much really truly excites me anymore,

but this one does. Uh very much looking forward to getting holes in this one. That's all I've got, pretty simple and straightforward. Uh we'll know more when reviews start coming out. I'd imagine second week of May or so, two or three weeks before release day, I'm guessing. But big hype for this one, can't wait. See you then.
