The Raptor by MOTIV July 22,2011

Just shot a 225/257/258/740 and a 247/290/300/837 last 23 in a row using The Raptor.Last night a 680 and a 697 with the Raptor.
This ball turned more heads with the reaction than any recent
MOTIV release.This ball just doesn't know the word quit!
The best part about the last two nights is the comments stating,
"this will be the best ball on the market".This is coming from
Hammer and Storm fans.
This ball easily beats the ball everyone is comparing it to.THERE
IS NO COMPARISON!

congratulations on the GREAT shooting Angela! Watching the video that Justin did of the ball think it will be a good seller in the shop this year

Thanks Stormed1.This is going to be MOTIV'S best ball so far.If this ball could somehow find it's
way on TV and have get it a victory,it could be one of the best sellers in years.That's what I really
think about the Raptor P7.

Is there a non-Motiv ball you could compare this to? Something like: Like a VG Nano, but it starts up sooner and covers more boards?

Any PBA members looking at this yet?

The Raptor is close to one foot earlier than the Nano.The Raptor is stronger in the mid-lane.
Overall the Raptor hooks about one-two boards more at the breakpoint.

Has Motiv paid the sponsor fee for inclusion in the PBA? That may be why you don't see pros throwing them yet. Mo-rich and Lane #1 come to mind in that category also.

Yes the signed last year.There are a great deal of PBA players now throwing MOTIV.Maybe during
the upcoming season MOTIV may make it to TV.

This ball is the real deal.Don't doubt the good things you are hearing
about this ball.
The last seven weeks on my big money summer doubles league,I have
shot;680,697,740,837 with a the last two games being a 290 and 300
throwing the last 23 strikes in a row,707,735,714.This ball lives up
to the hype.


I will post a review for the Raptor next week.

Angela great scores. What conditions are you using the Raptor on?

It sounds great, but it may be too much for me on the conditions I normally see, even in tournaments.

It's on a modified Seoul pattern.They just change the ratio each week.It's not as easy as a house shot.
We have some of the best bowlers in the Detroit area bowling in the league.There has only been one 300
and two 800's.

Thanks for the reply Anngela. I'm sure you remember from other posts that I am looking to get some new equipment, and have been looking at Motiv quite seriously.

One other question about the Raptor. With the new surface chemistries I know some coverstocks don't take well to changing the surface, Ie, polish, changing the grit, etc. How does the Raptor fare concerning surface changes, or is it an out of the box is what you get ball.

PSBA10,to answer your question,the Raptor P7 takes surface adjustments better than any of the previous
MOTIV balls to date.I have sanded and polished every MOTIV ball ever made more times than I remember.
The Raptor is the best.I have sanded the Raptor to 600,800,1000,1500,2000,3000,4000,and each grit took very
easy.It also takes polish very nicely.

Great that's what I needed to know.

Thanks Angela.

Are there any reviews on this ball from someone that is NOT on Motiv staff?

BTW, nice shooting Angela!

Got a chance see it thrown by my employee at a trade show recently and was extremely impressed with the motion and hit of it. I didn't throw it as the test balls did not have big enough thumbs available to fit me. I already have some coming to the shop as it is a very good option for those who don't want a Nano but want a similar reaction. Plus it looks better than a Nano

It looks better than a Nano... if you're a Ravens fan! I can't imagine this ball would appeal to a lot of Steeler fans. To a lesser extent, big fans of other NFL teams. I think Motiv err'd in this way.
