Ripcord Velocity

4.9Read Reviews

It’s all about angle! From core to cover, the Ripcord™ Velocity is built to fly fast and corner hard.  

The dual-density Oblivion™ core is a complex work of engineering unlike anything else in the world.  It features a massive flip-block to make the Ripcord™ Velocity come off the oil pattern as violently as possible.  And with a high RG and moderate differential the Oblivion™ core is dialed in for versatility on medium oil conditions.  “We’ve had this core for a few years now and I feel like we are still learning tricks that we can do with it,” said MOTIV® Tour Rep Nick Pahr. 

To take full advantage of the dynamic characteristics of the Oblivion core, MOTIV® is featuring new Infusion™ MVP Reactive cover stock on the Ripcord Velocity.  Evolving from the technology used on the Fatal Venom, Infusion MVP produces easy length and an unbelievable change of direction down lane. “This new cover technology is allowing us to shape the ball and create angles that we haven’t seen before”, said Brett Spangler of MOTIV.  Tuned with a 5500 Grit LSP finish, the Ripcord Velocity has speed to spare.  

When To Use:

  • Speed Dominant: Speed dominant players will use the Velocity as their burn ball.  What the Velocity offers is more angle down lane than anything else available.  For speed dominant players, that is the last crucial piece in the progression, a ball that can make the corner when they have to use angle. 
  • Balanced: When balanced bowlers need help through the front and angle through the pins, the Ripcord Velocity is the best option.  For balanced bowlers on higher friction surfaces where the front of the lane is an issue, this Ripcord will have no problem giving the length needed with a surprising pop down lane. 
  • Rev Dominant: For players who have rev rate to spare, the Ripcord Velocity is like cheating.  The incredible angles this ball can create for a rev dominant player are something nobody else on the lane will be able to mimic.  When getting steep is key, rev dominant players will have an unfair advantage with the Ripcord Velocity.

    Very Versatile

    I love the Ripcord Velocity. I can use it on the fresh and chase it left as the lanes break down. I have been able to play angles that I never have before. It has really opened up my game.

    Velocity!!

    It’s all about angle! This new ripcord is something special. This ball really knows how to come around the corner, whether it’s a short oil pattern or a burned up longer pattern playing steep angles; this balls moves! As for normal house play this ball allows me to play deeper angles starting off far from where everyone else is playing, so I see less transition. Definitely a good ball to have in the bag.

    The Ripcord Velocity is the third Ripcord released by Motiv and is by far the fastest one of the three. The original Ripcord matched my game well but at times would not allow me to open up the lane as much as I wanted/needed to. I was very excited when I heard about the Velocity. The Velocity for me is about 3-4 boards stronger than my original Ripcord and also takes surface very well. I hit mine with a 2k pad by hand and it tamed it down and I am able to use it all night at league. If you're looking for a ball to open the lanes up and give you that fast reaction, the Ripcord Velocity is the ball for you.

    The Oblivion core has always been a favorite of mine. Starting with the Paranoia series. This core has always seemed to work well regardless of the coverstock. With MOTIV matching it up with the Infusion MVP pearl reactive this ball has been great for me on high friction surfaces. The extremely fast responding cover has really lowed me to open up my angles making this ball a perfect go to after The lanes break down and I can no longer use my Ripcord Flight. I found that the Velocity works great at its out of the box 5500 Grit. I tried taking the surface down to experiment a little bit and found my best reaction with it was at a much shinier surface. You can’t go wrong with the Velocity in your bag!
