RAPTOR ATTACK REVIEW

INNER CORE: Predator
COVERSTOCK: Atomix SFP Reactive
BOX FINISH: 2000 Wet Sand / Power Gel Polish
15# RG: 2.46, DIFF: .060, INT DIFF: 015
BALL LAYOUT: 60 X 5 X 30


This ball is an incredible compliment to the original RAPTOR. The pearlized shell gives me the added length I need when the lanes begin to transition but adds some additional angle allowing me more room right as the lanes break down. The biggest additon in my mind is the continuation provided through the pins helping take out those ever nasty corner pins. This ball fits well and will provided you another weapon on the typical house shot as well as other challenging lane conditions as it allow you the ability to play straight up the boards early and swing it as they transition with out sacarificing carry or dealing with an over/under reaction.

In my line up it fits as follows:

RAPTOR---HEAVY OIL
Raptor Attack
Sigma Tour
Thrash
Primal Impulse
Backdraft
QZ2 Black/Blue---LIGHT OIL


With an arsenal like that there is NOTHING you cant beat!!!! GET MOTIV-ATED TODAY! What are U waiting for?

The new pearl RAPTOR ATTACK strikes with a vengeance. It is the first asymmetric pearl ball ever released by MOTIV. Utilizing Atomix SFP Reactive cover technology, the Raptor Attack is very long and clean down the lane with a quick response to friction on the backend.

Raptor Attack>>
The Raptor Attack is the first asymmetric pearl ball ever released by MOTIV. This new release is the extreme opposite from its predecessor. The Raptor Attack uses the Primal Impulse cover and the core from the original Raptor. The Raptor Attack is clean through the front part of the lane and makes a very angular motion in the backend.
As you will see in the video the Raptor Attack can recover and recover some more. There wasn’t a shot thrown where a miss right resulted in the ball not being able to make it back to the pocket. The Raptor Attack will be strong enough for some players to throw on heavy patterns and yet still clean enough for some players to throw on broken down or shorter patterns. This is not one of those conditional balls, for me this ball has worked successfully on all conditions thus far. Most will be able to throw this one from start to finish and you can’t say that very often about a pearlized ball.

>>For a quick comparison, the Raptor Attack is stronger in the midlane and responds to friction even faster than the Primal Impulse. The original Raptor picks up earlier in the midlane and has a smoother arcing motion than compared to the Raptor Attack. If you liked the original Raptor, you won’t be disappointed with the Raptor Attack!

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.
