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 - 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.

Raptor Rush
Raptor Rush Ball Review The Raptor Rush is the newest ball added to the Raptor line. It has the Propulsion FYJ Pearl Reactive cover that gives you strength and speed. It’s designed for heavy oil patterns and made for when the lanes open up but still a good amount of volume. The Raptor Rush has the Affliction V2 Symmetric core. The Raptor Rush creates a very strong angular motion and is great for opening patterns especially when the pattern calls for a stronger piece but the fronts are getting chewed up. This ball should fit the spot of the strongest pearl in most bags of most arsenals. Designed for heavy oil conditions, the Raptor Rush is going to be a piece to add for anyone looking for something when the Jackals stand up to quick and need something better to use left to right. This piece is going to be very exciting and a lot of fun to throw.

Soaring to Success
The brand new Raptor Rush is HANDS DOWN one of the best high end angular balls Motiv has ever made. Motiv made a HUGE advancement with the addition of the Crimson Jackal and the brand new Raptor Rush has been INSANE. I am personally a fan of higher end pearl bowling balls because they allow me to see shape while not having the biggest rev rate and the Raptor Rush allows me to do just that. I have been able to get as far left as I've wanted with this ball and haven't worried about it not continuing through the pins. This ball gives me the ability to play steep angles and get a HUGE amount of back end motion that I didn't think I could do. Go get yours today! Motiv Staff member D.J. Rose

Best pearl Motiv To Date
Motiv Has stepped up their game once again in the pearl cover stock department. The Rush is a great improvement on the Sky Raptor. The Rush is much cleaner and more responsive than the Sky Raptor. The fast-spinning Affliction V2 core matched with the super responsive FYJ pearl cover fills a much-needed ball shape in the Motiv arsenal. Eric George Motiv Staff
