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: Many speed dominant bowlers struggle to use pearl coverstocks.  Pearl covers are known for getting down lane easily, which can be a problem for bowlers who generate great speed or possess a lower rev rate.  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.

    Huge Advancement In Motiv Pearl Technology

    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.

    Raptor Rush

    Today I was able to throw the raptor rush for all 3 games. I drilled this up last week, layout is 40x3.75x60. All I can say is this ball is amazing! Everything I have is solid covers, pearls have been difficult for me until this ball. I finished with 709 out of the ball and I am blown away with its versatility, and it’s hitting power. This will compliment my ghost, subzero, and hyper venom all day

    Ball of the year!?

    The culmination of 15 years of relentless research really shines through with this beautiful golden bowling ball.

    This new Propulsion FYJ cover really maximizes the potential of the Affliction V2 core. It really feels like it can play on any condition in the hands of all types of bowlers.

    This one is going to be special. Dare I say the ball of the year.

    Gold Ball Goooooodddd!!!!

    Ok, at first I was hesitant on getting this release. Another pearl in the arsenal, do I really need it? YES!
    This new release, you know how much I absolutely love the Affliction core! My all time Favorite Symmetrical core! And the new Propulsion FYJ pearl coverstock is an excellent choice for this Core!
    So, now to the nitty gritty, threw this ball last night in league to see how much I would like it! And as usual, the Affliction Core does exactly what I hoped for! This ball is Money!!!! First 2 games this ball seen nothing but the pocket! This is definitely a fantastic Angular ball! Throwing 25 board out to 5-6 board at 16.5mph with 390 revs, this ball definitely comes back! This ball will definitely stay in the bag for League, and will definitely be in the tournament bag also! Do I recommend this ball to others? Most Definitely!

    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!
