Manufacturer Intent-Heavy oil

This new MOTIV release is intended for heavy oil,and it doesn't disappoint.
The new core and coverstock combo gives MOTIV a new look on
the lanes not yet seen in a MOTIV ball.

The Raptor P7 will help bowlers who may be a little rev challenged.The
strong and quick reaction to the dry at the end of the pattern is perfect
for this type of style.Crankers will also love the look of this ball on heavy oil
when they need to be left of the tweeners and strokers.

The Raptor P7 clears the heads easier than you would think from a ball
this strong.It stores the energy for midlane and the backend.This is where
the ball starts to shine.The amount of friction in the mids doesn't take anything away from the backend reaction.The strength at the breakpoint
is very heavy and continuous almost skid flip.A ball with this much
backend is rare.The recovery on the backends is the Raptors greatest
strength.Even as the oil carried down to the back of the pattern,the Raptor
just keep motoring toward the pocket.There was never any quit.
Going around the pattern is a lot easier when you are confident
that the ball you are using is going to make it around the corner,and not
quit on you.The ball continuation through the pocket is outstanding,and the
pin carry is fantastic.

Very few balls,if any,will cover this amount of area and not quit on you.The
Raptor P7 makes heavy oil patterns look easy.
If you have not owned a MOTIV ball before,this is the one to own.

Side note:Over the last seven weeks on my Tuesday doubles league,I
have shot 680/697/740/837 with a 290 & 300 the last two games with
the last 23 in a row. And a 707/735/714.
