EJ Tackett’s Legacy Meets Modern Lane Conditions

There was nothing covert about EJ Tackett’s 2025 PBA Tour season. He dominated, winning his 4th Player of the Year title and his 3rd in a row. That’s not just a hot streak — that’s absolute dominance. To celebrate, Motiv is releasing a limited-edition ball built around one of Tackett’s all-time favorites: the Covert Revolt. The Covert VIP ExJ carries the same Vanquish core as the Revolt, but upgrades the coverstock to meet the demands of modern oil conditions.

The original Covert Revolt earned its reputation with a clean front and a powerful, controlled move through the pins. Oil patterns have changed since then — heavier volumes, thicker applications, and more demanding conditions at every level of the game. The Covert VIP ExJ is Motiv’s answer: same proven core geometry, new coverstock technology, and a ball motion built for the lanes bowlers face right now.
