Review:
I am very impressed with the Raptor Attack. I typically like Asymmetric balls due to the extra "pop" I get on the backend. The Raptor Attack gives me this great backend motion but lets me stay with the ball a long time with smaller adjustments than I expected. The Raptor Attack fits well between my Raptor P7 and Primal TV4.
I tested this ball on two House shots that were slightly on the wet side. The ball was very strong and had great recovery even when I put it right of target. I could actually see the ball read the midlane and then the backend movement. I used the Raptor Attack with the box surface and later with 2000 wet sand with pad. I saw earlier roll without the polish but the Raptor Attack had the same great backend and hit either way. I do however prefer the factory sand and polish.
Summary:
Strong ball with great midlane read and backend.
Excellent hit and carry.
A lot of hook with predictability.
I believe this is a great core and cover match up.
Anyone that wants to make an oily house shot easy should try this ball!
