REVIEW:
I recently punched up my NEW Raptor Attack by Motiv and I have to say I am very excited about this release. This is the perfect ball for when the lanes go through transition and the original Raptor becomes to strong up front. The Raptor Attack allows me to get through the heads with ease and allows me to really open the lane up. The Raptor Attack has a much quicker response to friction compared to the Sigma Tour and rolls stronger in the midlane compared to the Primal Impulse. Once again Motiv has done a great job filling another gap in my arsenal. Motiv is really doing a great job making quality balls over quantity. The Raptor Attack just explodes the pins!!! STRIKE WITH A VENGEANCE!!! Get YOURS TODAY!!! Get MOTIVated!!!! Video will be available soon :)

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.
On sport shots, it dominates when heavy oil patterns break down and transition. On the THS, bowlers with moderate to high rev rates will be able to swing the ball with confidence, seeing an impressive backend move as the Raptor Attack sinks its talons into the lane.
The Attack has the ball motion is similar to the Raptor, but it gets through the lane much easier due to the pearl cover. So when your Raptor starts burning up or hooking too much, you can pull out the Raptor Attack and get the same type of motion and stay on the same part of the lanes. Super clean in the front part of the lane and this makes the Raptor and the Raptor Attack the BEST 1 2 Punch from Heavy Oil to Med Oil lanes.

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.
You can see my video here:

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 Raptor Attack is another great addition to the MOTIV line. This addition gives you a strong asymmetrical pearl option. The overall ball motion is similar to the Raptor, but it gets through the lane much easier due to the pearl cover. So when your Raptor starts burning up or hooking too much, you can pull this bad boy out of your bag and get the same type of ball motion on the lanes. It also takes to surface changes very nicely. This ball is simlpy awesome on THS. It is becoming my favorit ball to thrown. If you are looking for something that is a good compliment to the original Raptor then this is your ball. This ball will read the lanes sooner than the Primal Impulse but give you more length than the Raptor.
If you get the chance, add this ball to your arsenal, you won't be disapointed! I will be uploading a video comparision of this ball to my youtube page shortly. Check it out if you're interested in seeing some ball comparision videos.

The Raptor Attack is the first asymmetrical pearl ball from MOTIV. It is a low RG ball (2.46) with a maxed out high differential (0.60). My Raptor Attack is drilled up with a relatively mild layout - 85* x 5 x 40*, which is one I like for my ball speed, track, and rev rate. But, with the really strong core this ball has, you can really make this ball do tricks down the lane with a more aggressive layout, if you wish.
My favorite time to use this ball is just after a heavy oil pattern breaks down a little and transitions a bit, The pearl cover helps this ball clear the heads with ease, then react decisively down the lane when I need it to. It doesn’t really have a “flip” motion down the lane, it’s more of an “aggressive turn” towards the pocket. I didn’t anticipate that this ball would be as versatile as it is. I have been able to utilize this piece on a variety of lane conditions – it stores energy very well. Also I am very impressed with how this ball clears the pins, nice and low.
Here is a link to the Raptor Attack ball reaction video that I made:

On my video, I also throw the original Raptor solid, and the Primal Instinct for comparison on the Kegel Main Street pattern.
I am very impressed with this ball. I hope you have the opportunity to try it!
