[Music] Got no regrets. I'm on the run. Chasing the check. Dropping the top. Riding the vet. Feeling myself. What you expect? You know I'm with it. No better feeling cuz I could have quit but I didn't. 7 when I'm on a mission. Moving it up to a better position. They thought I was. What's going on YouTube? Supra clutch or clutch Supra. Whichever one you like. The last river that came out, man, I honestly feel like it got better and better and better with time.
So, the more you throw it, the more it's going to hook and the more you gonna feel like EJ tag it, right? This is not the jackal, but I'm just I'm just here to tell you, you will start to feel that way because this ball I threw it just in a couple reels and shorts beforehand. The first shot like, ah, it's okay. Then second shot was like, wo. Then the third and fourth and fifth shot like, hey, hey, buddy, what you doing? So, yeah, man. color stand out black yellow hybrid cover stock. So have this then the max
drill hybrid on a lane and it just it doesn't the the max hybrid was again really good universally you know good bowling ball and yeah man I just really want to see again how this ball kind of stacks up. um in a subsequent video, right, we will spend some more time uh with the ultimate record um which is a hybrid that kind of falls in a similar gap, but I think getting a Supra is probably going to be more dynamic. But
hey, who knows? But yeah, man. Let's get to the lanes, guys. That's what you guys want to see. Um links for everything is down below, man. Just check the links. Bmar cool wig. What shirt I have on? All right, so let's get busy here. started my happy place. Oh man, that I threw a ball before this that's a
little bit stronger, but it shouldn't hook like that. Again, I was telling you this ball is like waking up. It was really waking up. All right. Throw it a little faster. Okay. I think as we throw the ball more again, like I I was saying before, it's going to get better, but I think the lane will break it down. Get a little more oil out the lane.
It's going to become more and more directional. I'm going cheat a little further left. Slightly stronger hand position. Yeah. So again, slightly stronger hand position when I'm cheat that way. And I typically go to a more relaxed hand position as I move getting to the right. That's what I what I do. You don't have to. But especially on house shots, that's what I have to do. When you get when you talk about tougher stuff, you sometimes
you don't have to go like, oh, dead flat, but you're just trying to roll the ball more. And those are honestly different things because on house shots I have to like push the ball instead of like roll it. And again it just equates to slightly different ball motion too. Yeah buddy. So that ball like unlocks the code like really once you you get aggressive and stay aggressive. I told you man you
going to play EJ. Tell you pick one of these up. Oh my bloody murder. Bloody murder. It's what you get sometime, man. Yeah. Ball rolls pretty good so far. Now, what would that do in 30 40 game? But go Max Hybrid. another again really
really popular piece or same spot and then we're going to jump right with both of the balls but I just like to again get comfortable and caught it pretty good too. So that was still pretty strong hand position and it just kind of arched where honestly feel like I would have went like big four or something with a Supra like 100%.
Oh wow. So I definitely again shot it down the lane but it pushed like it didn't have that same I want to see what the Super's going to do from there. Is it going to push push further, get worse, or get better? In my head, I believe this boss should pick up, but I 100% could be wrong. Standing on 20. So, the slight the stronger core, right?
A little more flare potential, you know, available in the clutch compared to the Max reel. So, good so far. Throw another one a little more up the lane. Yep. Nope. So, that typically happens like when you throw some of these cleaner pieces. Um, I can typically play straighter a lot easier with earlier bowling balls. Um,
so whether we're talking about stronger symmetrical cores or even asims because they kind of just bleed off energy and still will get into a roll where this one goes forever. Oh, I caught it, too. Yeah, man. when you see you really see when that ball like spins up and it's ready to go. Like like this is definitely a more angular shape for motor. Like you still can tell
like sometime motor stuff like can still be a little bit smoother u than some of the other brands but honestly I feel like the Supra uh is just it can compete with all of the brands as far as angularity goes. It feels just like a bigger ball as well. Like just a bigger, stronger piece. Oh.
So again, didn't quite go to my stronger hand position in that ball. Got behind the head. All good. Especially when I'm coming from throwing it straighter and then moving left. I got to change my speed, adjust some things. But again, definitely is a game two and a half, probably game three, depending on who you are. Well, that feels good. Yeah, buddy.
So, the lanes get a little more burnt up. It's going to be in there. Um, but yeah, man. This is a pretty I'm not going to say high roadesque. I feel like it's still like a earlier ball. where the high road uh hammer anchors right are still not as strong where this feels strong. But we're going to pick up the Max Hybrid here after this shot.
Oh, we Oh, it didn't carry. So again, sometime getting steep. Didn't get around it enough. So, it just kind of saw it, checked. When you hear that word check, right, means it hook, then went straight. See if this ball's going to come around it. There she blows. Yeah, that's the trick a lot of times, like, can you, you know, create that shape um
and get that ball to really see the spot and go left. So, that ball really allows me to do that. So, let's go to the max door high. Max hybrid. So you can almost see like how much cleaner and like arcier that ball is. Like it's definitely not seeing the spot
nearly uh the same way as the clutch. Yeah. So 100% right. Slow my speed down. Gave the ball a time to read the middle lane and go through the pins. That's major difference. Now when I shape it, I think I got to bring my speed down even more. Got to round it pretty good. Yeah. So again, mindful with your speed.
Just have to be So, we're going to throw the ultimate record here just because got a little time. All right. So, ultimate record. All the balls are drilled exactly the same. 60 by 4 and a half by 30. Yeah. So, honestly, I feel like all the regular falls more in line with the Max door hybrid. even off that shot like we saw previously where it's just again a
little bit arcier of a bowling ball. So again, dual purpose. Yeah, fresh oil. These are my go-to options. I think these are all three like gain two two and a half. Wow. I didn't expect that. I didn't expect that at all. So again, for me, where does it fit in a bag, right? This fits, you know, I could definitely see if I'm having a lot of success with the Pro
Liberty that I could go to this, you know, or a Venom Shock depending on what the lane conditions are and how steep I have to get cuz if I the steeper I got to get, then I'm looking for a cleaner cover, right? And that's where this will come in play. But, you know, maybe just the Pro Liberty isn't quite going through the pins and I just want to stay in that same zone. I can see going to a venom shock and then just kind of jamming it into whatever friction is out there down lane instead of up front friction. So again, up front friction, I'm looking at the super super clutch. Or again,
down lane friction, I might be looking more towards a vendor shock that's going to arc off the brake point and definitely feel comfortable like in that 25 and going left. Like I I can use it playing a little bit more square, but I think we have better options that will not penalize me and go big four. Like I feel like this a bit sharper bowling ball.
Oh, roll it. So you got like a midful but more just got here instead of there. And you get that right. Flat hand get behind the hip pin. Oh, I caught all of it too. Yeah, this is a ball that you can ya and get I told you feel like EJ. That's what that ball is, man. Um, super GT getting pretty angular, especially like I said when we look at the motor line in its
entirety like this is this is one of them like it changes direction pretty clean compared to the other Supra. I think this is still like a bit more because of the stronger cover sock. Go aim. There you have it, guys. Man, check it out. Moto dropped another one. Again, very strategically placing. The original Moto Super GT is gone now. So, the clutch is your next best option. So,
check it out, man. Until next time, guys. I'm keep it moving. Put the music up. I'mma keep them groove. You sleeping on me, just keep snoozing. I'm so locked in right now. Everything I work for ain't never going to change.
Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis
Testing revealed that the Motiv Supra Clutch exhibits a distinctly angular ball motion with strong hook potential that develops progressively throughout a session. Independent reviewers observed that the ball performed sluggishly on initial throws but “woke up” significantly with continued use, showing increased read and aggression as oil conditions broke down on the lane. The reactive hybrid coverstock proved notably sharper than Motiv’s Max Hybrid counterpart, creating a more defined angular shape and earlier midlane reaction. On a house shot pattern with medium-light oil, the Supra Clutch responded well to aggressive hand positions and higher rev rates, delivering strong pin action when thrown with conviction.
On the test lanes, the ball demonstrated reliability across multiple game conditions, maintaining consistent motion from fresh oil through the second or third game as lane breakdown accelerated its overall response. Reviewers noted the Supra Clutch maintains earlier downlane angularity compared to higher-RG symmetric core balls, making it suitable for bowlers who want upfront friction rather than relying solely on backend arc. When thrown with a straighter line and moderate speed, the ball tracked cleanly but showed a tendency to overreact in conditions requiring more conservative angles, a characteristic that rewards speed control and deliberate adjustments. The ball’s flare potential and stronger core design delivered measurably more dynamic motion than the smoother Max Hybrid when thrown at the same speed and angle, though this added aggression requires intentional release management to avoid overhooking.
Who Is This Ball For?
The Motiv Supra Clutch is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced bowlers who throw with moderate-to-high rev rates and appreciate upfront friction. It suits players transitioning from entry-level equipment or those seeking a more angular complement to a stroker-style ball in their arsenal. This ball rewards aggressive approach and consistent release; bowlers who can control their speed and hand position will find the Supra Clutch opens up shot-making options without requiring extreme angles or steep hand positions.
House bowlers and league players facing medium-light oil conditions will find this ball’s progression (from stable early game to increasingly directional later game) particularly valuable. It’s less ideal for lower-rev players or those preferring a more forgiving, symmetrical response, as the hybrid coverstock’s aggressive nature demands technical consistency. At $174.95, the Supra Clutch represents solid value for bowlers ready to add a performance-oriented, medium-strength piece that rewards proper technique and delivers noticeable pin action across varying oil patterns.
The Pros
- • Hybrid coverstock at 5500 grit handles a wide range of medium-light conditions without overreacting or underperforming
- • Quadfire symmetric core provides a smooth, controlled backend that rewards consistent execution
- • Higher 2.55 RG creates good length through the heads, keeping the ball in play on drier frontends
- • Reliable shape that repeats shot after shot, a ball you can trust in pressure situations
The Cons
- • Moderate backend of 6.4 means this ball will not create dramatic angle for bowlers who rely on backend motion
- • The .043 differential limits hook potential, making it underwhelming for higher rev-rate bowlers on oilier conditions

I have been a fan of the Supra line from the very beginning and the Supra Clutch has really capped things off. The new cover formula combined with the original core gets you exactly what fans have come to expect from the Supra line with easy length and tons of shape left to right, but it has the most hook potential and versatility of any of the Supras to date. This is a clean piece that you can play up the lane, shallower angles inside, or just flat out hook the lane with. My favorite of the Supra line has always been the Original Supra, but this one may have taken that spot as it's so much more than just a light oil ball. - MOTIV Staff Member, Anthony Evans
I got lots of strike from this Motiv Supra Clutch. It also looks amazing moving down the lane. Bowlersmart does value their customer and always make things right. Thank you for the amazing ball.
