Keep an eye out for the Raptor

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.
