The traditional solid bowling ball is no longer good enough. Enter the new EVOKE MAYHEM. After the absolute domination of the Evoke Hysteria, the challenge was to build another Evoke as versatile and successful. That meant breaking the normal rules. Instead of starting with a solid coverstock and tweaking it, MOTIV worked backwards from the Propulsion MXV Pearl coverstock—the cover that made the Hysteria special—and asked a different question: How do we formulate this to make it hit harder, read earlier, and still keep the down-lane shape people loved? “We spent a long time testing this one,” said Brett Spangler, MOTIV’s PBA Tour Rep. “There was a lot of pressure after the Hysteria won everything last year. The solution was working backwards from the pearl Hysteria cover, which isn’t how we usually test for solids.” Then we added Duramax additive technology, allowing the Evoke Mayhem to stay dull longer and maintain performance over longer periods. The result is a different type of solid coverstock for Motiv; a shell that provides more length and down lane motion than the Leverage™ family of covers, but substantially more traction than Propulsion pearls. The insanely tunable Overload™ asymmetrical core is the most versatile core in the MOTIV line. It delivers a combination of a low RG, moderate differential, and strong intermediate differential, slotting perfectly below the Predator™ V2 and Apex Predator™ cores featured in the Jackal® series. The Overload core lets the ball driller dramatically raise or lower the primary differential depending on layout. That means you can control total flare in a meaningful way. More flare when you need strength. Less flare when you need control. That level of adjustability means more bowlers can match up with the Evoke Mayhem in even more environments! In short, the Evoke Mayhem fills the gap that didn’t exist before, allowing you to embrace the chaos! LEVEL Medium-Heavy Oil COLOR Solid Teal/Purple/Pink CORE Overload™ Asymmetrical COVERSTOCK Propulsion™ MXV Solid Reactive COVER TYPE Pearl Reactive FINISH 2000 Grit LSS WEIGHTS 16-12 lbs. RG 2.48 (15 lb.) DIFF 0.050 (15 lb.) INT DIFF 0.015 (15 lb.) RELEASE DATE February 11th, 2026 When to Use Speed Dominant - Bowlers with exceptional speed or lower rpm will find the Evoke Mayhem useful on moderate oil fresh conditions and often during transition. The added angularity of this solid makes it a nice option for speed dominant players who find most solids to be too smooth. Balanced Bowlers - Bowlers whose speed and rev rate match will love the Evoke Mayhem when their Evoke Hysteria is just a bit too clean or angular. The Evoke Mayhem will be a fantastic option earlier in play with the Evoke Hysteria as a perfect go-to after the oil is depleted. Rev Dominant - A cleaner and faster response solid is a valuable tool for rev dominant players who sometimes get forced into pearls too early in competition and are forced to sacrifice control. Rev dominant players should use the Evoke Mayhem when they are creating some angle on fresh, but are not ready to step all the way left and let the angular stuff fly.
