    I assume that when you used plastic you were throwing from the extreme right side of the approach directly at the pocket with little or no hook. Now your ball has a lot of hook and you need a new way to find the pocket. I would try standing slightly to the right of center on the approach and trying to throw straight down the tenth board ( second arrow in from the gutter ). Watch where the ball begins to hook and where it winds up. Move your starting position in the direction that you missed. Keep experimenting til you find the line to the pocket. Its a big change and will take a few sessions to figure out.

    I have no experience with the Motiv Raptor, so I looked at a review of the ball. My guess after doing that is that there isn't enough oil on the lanes for a heavy oil ball like the raptor. I don't know what to advise you to do without screwing up your mechanics.
