Motiv Raptor Attack Bowling Ball

INNER CORE: Predator COVERSTOCK: Atomix SFP Reactive BOX FINISH: 2000 Wet Sand / Power Gel Polish 15# RG: 2.46, DIFF: .060, INT DIFF: 015 Handedness: Right Rev Rate: 400 Ball Speed: 17-18 The all new Raptor Attack by Motiv Bowling is exactly what the line was missing. When My Raptor P7 is too early and the Sigma doesn't want to climb the hill this ball is PERFECT!! I did a simple pin up no hole and this ball is clean through the fronts but still reads the midlane and doesn't go through the spot. For league bowlers this is the exact shape you want to see. As for more competetive bowlers this ball is great when you can open up your angles and other products are fighting themselves to make the corner this ball is PEELING! I am more than in love with this ball,it is exactly what we needed and I recommend this ball to everyone. Michael Cousins Motiv Staff Vise Staff www.motivbowling.com

Lane Condition: 40ft THS on AMF HPL Medium-Heavy Volume Layout: 5” x 5 3/8” 70 x5 x 40 While throwing the Raptor P7, with its Predator asymmetric core, I have thought to myself ‘how can I extend this great ball motion into the later games of the day?’ Enter the Motiv Raptor Attack. By wrapping the Predator (2.46 RG, .060 Diff) in the Atomix SFP Pearl Reactive coverstock (finished to 2000 with polish) you will retain the great revving motion of the Raptor P7 while getting the ball to push further down the lane and creating a stronger backend reaction. I decided to lay this ball out relatively weak when compared to my P7 because I wanted the ball to definitively make it through the heads and save its energy for a strong and continuous finish, and that is what I obtained. Even though the mass bias is placed in a weak position for me, the Predator still creates 5”-6” of flare every time I release the ball. The ball roll created by that flare has given me a firm midlane revving reaction that helps it to push through any carry down and drive through the pins like a beast. I have found that this ball reaction is a great compliment to both the P7 and the Sigma Tour. When the lanes are a little too dry to throw the P7, but still too slick for the Sigma to read early enough, the Attack fills that role perfectly. If the pins are trying to hold you hostage, bring out the Motiv Raptor Attack and strike with a vengeance!

Diff.-15lb..015 Color:Purple/Silver/Black with green and white logos The MOTIV Raptor Attack is a first for MOTIV.The RA is the first asymmetrical pearl ball. The Raptor Attack is much cleaner through the heads than the Raptor.The Atomix SPF pearl cover helps create a much cleaner look through the midlane. The Raptor Attack is more angular than than Raptor and responds to the friction at the backend quicker. The low RG core helps keep the Raptor Attack from going to long,but still retains the early revving motion of the Raptor,but the Atomix SPF cover gets it through the heads easier. The ease through the heads helped store up energy for the backend without giving up much traction in the midlane. The aggressive move at the breakpoint sets up nicely for the tremendous down lane recovery. The core and cover combo allows the Raptor Attack to quickly respond to the friction,and keep going when other balls would be quitting and have a tendency to stand up. Going around the pattern is made a whole lot easier when you feel confident that the ball isn't going to roll-out.When the ball does encounter friction it makes a a very impressive continuous motion. I feel that the Raptor Attack can be used as a heavy oil ball for players with slower ball speed and a medium oil ball for players with speed and higher revs. In my opinion,the Raptor Attack is a very versatile ball.It has the ability to handle shots pointed at the pocket from five and out and from five arrow. I have used the RA on a variety of conditions on the house shot.From fresh oil,second shift,to second day leftovers.And I can say without a doubt,that the Raptor Attack performs above all my expectations. One ball one drilling and it worked well on all those conditions. MOTIV GIRL Angela Wilt-MOTIV Staff member http://www.motivbowling.com

Motiv Raptor Attack. Inner Core: Predator. Coverstock: Atomix SFP. Box Finish: 2000 grit with Power Gel Polish. Drill Pattern: 60 x 2.5 x 20 with no extra hole. Surface Prep: 500/2000 Abralon by hand. Bowler Specs: 400 RPM, 19 MPH, 10 degrees of axis tilt, PAP is 3 3/8 left, and 3/8 up. I drilled my Raptor Attack the same as my P7. The layouts feature a 3:1 ratio and a flare reducing pin position to control flare. I really like my Raptor Attack when the fronts start to go and the P7 begins to burn up. I can stay in the same zone, and simply "ball down." The Attack will also handle more overall volume than the Primal Impulse because of the strong Predator core. Granted the cover stock is the same on both balls (Atomix SFP), but the Impulse core will be longer and stronger. I use my Attack to keep my target in front of me. When I want to stand right and throw left, the Primal Impulse is right at home. A high rev rate bowler may actually prefer the Attack to an original Raptor as it is the same core, but a cleaner shell. The box finish was too weak for my liking. I took a 500 grit abralon pad to break the shell and brought it back up to 2000 grit. I found more usage out of the Attack after doing this coverstock preparation. I find that sometimes the Raptor Attack is too little/too much ball. I always seem to throw either a Raptor P7 (oil) or Primal Impulse/QZ2 Backdraft (medium, low volume, etc.) For me personally this piece is a niche reaction. It is not something I am going to need day in and day out, but is a good addition to the MOTIV line. -Darren Andretta/MOTIV Staff
