At the heart of the Raptor Reign is the Affliction V2—MOTIV’s strongest symmetrical core, period. This fast-spinning, low-RG powerhouse grips the mid-lane in its talons, giving you the control you crave. With a high differential of .055, the Raptor Reign provides incredible flare potential. Forget the myth that only asym cores can handle heavy oil. This core brings the versatility and incredible continuation synonymous with symmetrical cores to heavy oil conditions.
Wrapped around the Affliction V2 core is the new Leverage MXV Solid reactive coverstock. This cover evolved for today’s conditions. Strong enough to chew through high volumes of oil but versatile enough to create motion when lanes are tight. It’s as strong in the soup as the Subzero Forge or Jackal Onyx, but it keeps its shape downlane for more drive through the pins. While previous Leverage covers were built to smooth things out, the Raptor Reign dominates carrydown with nonstop drive. Don’t chase reaction, impose it with the Raptor Reign.
The Raptor Reign is a dream come true for speed dominant bowlers as it provides a fast spinning, high flaring core with a coverstock that digs in the front without losing all of its steam down lane. More down lane motion with a strong coverstock is a great development for speed dominant players.
Balanced bowlers are going to love the Raptor Reign early in blocks on high volume conditions. Even if there is urethane dragging oil down lane, the Raptor Reign will be a great option due to the versatile coverstock and strong Affliction V2 core.
For the highest rev rate and lowest ball speed bowlers, the Raptor Reign will be a versatile must have in the arsenal. Over the last year, Landin Jordan, EJ Tackett, Ethan Fiore, and Santtu Tahvanainen have all found success using polished Subzero Forges. In conversation about what should be next, the feeling was that a stronger solid cover that was not as forward down lane would be a great addition. The Raptor Reign is that new addition the highest rev tour players asked for. Outstanding on fresh and heavy oil, but also a versatile trick for controlling the lanes even when shiny, the Raptor Reign is the next evolution in heavy oil symmetrics.
The new Raptor Reign is by far the strongest of the Raptors we have released yet. The new cover formula has created a similar strength in oil to the previous Raptors as well as the Subzero Forge, but with providing more overall shape downlane. This allows it to separate itself from the Subzero Forge and not overlap too much as it is more responsive, while also not stepping on the toes of the Jackal line as it provides similar strength but with more overall continuity through the pin deck. I decided to drill this one pin down to accentuate that shape even more and I am very impressed with the shape as pin down symmetric balls tend to become too clean, but this one is so strong front to back, it just gave me a shape unlike anything else in my arsenal! Fantastic addition to the MOTIV line and Raptor Family!

I bowl at a wood lane center that puts down a medium volume oil pattern. I'm a Power Stroker with the ball speed of 16 mph and about 380 to 400 revs. I purchased the ball for tournament patterns and never thought it would work in league. First 3 games out of box in league and shot a 769 with a 300. The ball read the oil really well and I was able to miss into the dry late and it would cover. I was playing feet at 22, target was 15 at the arrows swining to 10 off the pattern (42ft). In practice I tried multiple lines and would recommend this ball for all bowling styles! Its truly a must put in the bag type of ball!

Wow, great, great ball. Nice smooth motion and boy does this thing really blow up the pins. As soon as it was released I knew I had to have it seeing I loved my Fury.

If you want something with TONS of bite, control, and pin wracking power then the RAPTOR Reign is for you!!! Its been a very long time since ive been this impressed with a ball right out of the box. It offers an incredible amount of control while still giving you some room to miss right or left. Its reads the lane really well to helping stay ahead of the transition too.

The Raptor Reign is a strong symmetrical ball with predictable continuous ball motion through the pins.
I'm a higher rev player, it's very impressive to see this ball change directions down lane & still bully it's way through the pins. Great core & cover combination.
For me I can start with my Raptor Reign on the fresh & transition to my Jackal Ghost or just keep migrating left until the front part of the lanes break down & I move into my Venom Shock.
This ball definitely lives up to it's name! A great dull ball that maintains continuous powerful motion through the pins!
