The Raptor Attack is the first asymmetrical pearl ball from MOTIV. It is a low RG ball (2.46) with a maxed out high differential (0.60). My Raptor Attack is drilled up with a relatively mild layout - 85* x 5 x 40*, which is one I like for my ball speed, track, and rev rate. But, with the really strong core this ball has, you can really make this ball do tricks down the lane with a more aggressive layout, if you wish.
My favorite time to use this ball is just after a heavy oil pattern breaks down a little and transitions a bit, The pearl cover helps this ball clear the heads with ease, then react decisively down the lane when I need it to. It doesn’t really have a “flip” motion down the lane, it’s more of an “aggressive turn” towards the pocket. I didn’t anticipate that this ball would be as versatile as it is. I have been able to utilize this piece on a variety of lane conditions – it stores energy very well. Also I am very impressed with how this ball clears the pins, nice and low.
Here is a link to the Raptor Attack ball reaction video that I made:

On my video, I also throw the original Raptor solid, and the Primal Instinct for comparison on the Kegel Main Street pattern.
I am very impressed with this ball. I hope you have the opportunity to try it!
