Motiv Raptor Pursuit

Motiv Raptor Pursuit

High Performance Bowling Ball

The Raptor Pursuit was built to soar where other high-performance MOTIV balls could not.  When you build a ball for the top of the MOTIV Ball Guide, you usually need the cover to be strong enough to create traction in heavier volumes of oil. But there’s a tradeoff. Any friction created in the front and middle of the lane sacrifices down lane motion.  That’s great when you need traction, but not so great when you’re looking for length and down lane motion.  The Raptor Pursuit, with the massive symmetrical Affliction V2 core and the incredibly clean Aerial Propulsion pearl coverstock, is a unique combination for when bowlers need a more stable core but still want to see incredible length and speed downlane. The Raptor Pursuit was built for those who set their sights higher!

When To Use

• Speed Dominant - For speed dominant bowlers, this is likely a ball for dryer lanes that can provide the hook and pop needed when balanced bowlers are using a ball like the Nebula.  More flare means more fresh shell on the lane for the speed dominant bowler.  Additionally, the low rg means that the core is going to rev up far easier than other balls with covers this clean. 
• Balanced - The Raptor Pursuit will be an early angular ball for balanced bowlers to use when the smoother covers and earlier reading balls force them in, but don’t provide enough pop down lane to carry the corners. 
• Rev Dominant - For the bowlers with the most revs or the least speed, the Raptor Pursuit is going to be the angular ball they transition to after the fresh, when there is still plenty of oil on the lanes compared to friction.  The Raptor Pursuit will be a great step up from a Nebula when the friction hasn't quite developed as much and you need more strength in the oil without sacrificing down lane reaction.
