The lanes have changed. There’s more oil up front and more carrydown turning the fresh into chaos. Fast. Lane conditions change, but winners adapt. Introducing the Raptor Reign, a modern heavy-oil beast

 designed for high-performance bowlers who need added bite on the lanes. This new Raptor is an aggressive solid reactive ball built with the new competitive bowling environment in mind. This ball grips the lane in its talons and never lets go.

THE CORE: POWER, UNLEASHED

At the heart of the Raptor Reign is the Affliction V2—MOTIV’s strongest symmetrical core, period. 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 Reign provides incredible flare potential. Forget the myth that only asym cores can handle heavy oil. This core brings the versatility and incredible continuation synonymous with symmetrical cores to heavy oil conditions.

Wrapped around the Affliction V2 core is the new Leverage MXV Solid reactive coverstock. This cover evolved for today’s conditions. Strong enough to chew through high volumes of oil but versatile enough to create motion when lanes are tight. It’s as strong in the soup as the Subzero Forge or Jackal Onyx, but it keeps its shape downlane for more drive through the pins. While previous Leverage covers were built to smooth things out, the Raptor Reign dominates carrydown with nonstop drive. Don’t chase reaction, impose it with the Raptor Reign.

When to Use

Speed Dominant - The Raptor Reign is a dream come true for speed dominant bowlers as it provides a fast spinning, high flaring core with a coverstock that digs in the front without losing all of its steam down lane. More down lane motion with a strong coverstock is a great development for speed dominant players.

Balanced Bowlers - Balanced bowlers are going to love the Raptor Reign early in blocks on high volume conditions. Even if there is urethane dragging oil down lane, the Raptor Reign will be a great option due to the versatile coverstock and strong Affliction V2 core.

Rev Dominant - For the highest rev rate and lowest ball speed bowlers, the Raptor Reign will be a versatile must have in the arsenal. Over the last year, Landin Jordan, EJ Tackett, Ethan Fiore, and Santtu Tahvanainen have all found success using polished Subzero Forges. In conversation about what should be next, the feeling was that a stronger solid cover that was not as forward down lane would be a great addition. The Raptor Reign is that new addition the highest rev tour players asked for. Outstanding on fresh and heavy oil, but also a versatile trick for controlling the lanes even when shiny, the Raptor Reign is the next evolution in heavy oil symmetrics.
