Motiv Raptor Rush
The MOTIV Raptor Rush is a sleek and powerful force ready to dominate the lanes with precision and speed. Its striking gold pearl finish isn’t just for looks—this ball is engineered to deliver unparalleled strength and angularity, making it a must-have for bowlers seeking maximum performance. At the heart of the Raptor Rush is the Affliction V2 core, MOTIV’s most powerful symmetrical core to date. This low-RG, fast-spinning core grips the mid-lane with authority, offering the control you need and the flare potential you crave, thanks to its high differential of .055. While many turn to asymmetrical balls for heavy oil conditions, the Raptor Rush’s symmetrical core offers versatility and a smooth continuation, making it a trusted option for a wide range of bowlers. The Propulsion FYJ Pearl Reactive coverstock is wrapped around this powerhouse core, the most aggressive pearl cover MOTIV has ever designed. After years of innovation, this cover delivers the perfect balance of power and angularity. Fifteen years in the making, it represents the pinnacle of MOTIV’s dedication to pushing the limits of technology, giving you the edge to dominate every game.

Our best Low RG, high Diff Pearl to date!
Building off the success of our pearls over the last couple years as well as a coming to fruition of all of the R&D that Motiv has done in the last 15 years since our first pearl coverstock release, the Raptor Rush is the perfect culmination of control and downlane speed that bowlers of all styles look for out of a heavy oil symmetric pearl. This will be a higher hook potential pearl than the Nuclear Forge while providing more control than balls like the Supra GT and Hyper Venom. You can see the core take over in the midlane and allow this monster to build momentum and absolutely launch itself off of friction downlane. If your bag is needing a heavy oil symmetric pearl, look no further!

MOTIV RAPTOR RUSH
"""IT'S GOLD""
The Raptor Rush is GOLD. AT the center is the Big Affliction V2 core, fast spinning, largest Symmetric Core to date.
The core is wrapped in our fastest most aggressive cover, Propulsion FYJ (fifteen year Journey) pearl.
The Rush sees the midlane and creates a controllable motion throughout the lane
If you are looking for a ball during transition that will still create a controllable motion downlane then look to the 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.

Huge leap for Motiv Pearl Cover stocks
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.
