Motiv Raptor Rush

A predator, sleek and deadly, on the hunt at an unimaginable speed—every movement precise, every strike lethal. That's the essence of the new MOTIV Raptor Rush. Draped in a stunning gold pearl, this beast is built to dominate with unmatched strength and angularity. Featuring a monstrous symmetrical core paired with a revolutionary coverstock born from years of relentless research, the Raptor Rush is your go-to weapon when you need power with a wicked bite of down lane motion.

The Affliction V2 core is the strongest symmetrical core MOTIV has ever unleashed. This fast-spinning, low-RG powerhouse grips the mid-lane in its talons, giving you the control you crave. With a high differential of .055, the Raptor Rush provides incredible flare potential. While some bowlers chase asymmetrical balls for heavy oil, the symmetrical core of the Raptor Rush offers versatility and the incredible continuation synonymous with symmetrical cores.

Meet the Propulsion FYJ Pearl Reactive cover—MOTIV’s fastest, most aggressive pearl cover ever created. When MOTIV first started crafting bowling balls, cores were old news, but coverstocks? That was uncharted territory. In 2009, we unleashed the GT1, our first pearl coverstock. Fifteen years later, after countless trials and relentless innovation, we’ve perfected it. The Propulsion FYJ (Fifteen Year Journey) coverstock is the pinnacle of our efforts, delivering a combination of strength and angularity that’s nothing short of extraordinary.

When to Use

Speed Dominant: Many speed dominant bowlers struggle to use pearl coverstocks.  Pearl covers are known for getting down lane easily, which can be a problem for bowlers who generate great speed or possess a lower rev rate.  The fast-revving Affliction V2 core is a great start for speed dominant bowlers due to the low rg and high differential.  Combining the Propulsion FYJ with the low rg beast Affliction V2 core is ideal for speed dominant bowlers who want to be able to use a pearl.  When other bowlers are using high rg pearls to create angle, speed dominant players will be able to use the Raptor Rush to create that shape due to the incredibly strong pearl cover and Affliction V2 core.

Balanced: Sometimes balanced bowlers struggle to keep up with the transition and angle used by the highest rev rates in the building. A ball that gives the tweeners a chance to keep up with the crankers is a special and necessary part of the arsenal.  The Raptor Rush is exactly the ball these inbetween bowlers will want to create angle and keep up with the higher rev rates across the lane. 

Rev Dominant: For bowlers with the most rev rate and/or the lowest ball speed, the Raptor Rush will be the first pearl out of your bag. That first pearl out of the bag is an important one as it must provide some traction and significant strength, but still offer angle down lane.  The Raptor Rush is the go-to for a first pearl out of the bag for rev dominant bowlers.
