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.

    Ripcord Velocity

    This may possibly be one of the greatest pearl symmetric balls MOTIV has ever developed. Most commonly, the best pearl, according to the majority of the #MOTIVNation, is the original Primal Rage. The utmost strength and control in oil, but with an absolutely violent backend reaction. With the release of the new Ripcord Velocity, we see every aspect of the original Primal Rage, but built upon and improved for modern conditions. The Ripcord Velocity coverstock, Infusion MVP Pearl, is truly what makes this ball special. It allows the ball to maintain a clean look through the front portion of the lane, but does not get lost in the volumes in the middle of the lane, and absolutely RIPS off the breakpoint. It is truly one of my favorite releases we have ever had and I truly believe any bowler of any style, could benefit from having this piece in their bag.

    Couldn't wait for this release!
    One of those must have balls in anyone's arsenal. Tested on 40ft house and 43ft sport RC Velocity allowed me to Rev up and play in as well as square up and tighten the line. Pin up & down, both layouts played true.
    Aggressive when needed as well as a smooth transitional ball for changing conditions.
    Cover and core, versatility. Check it out!!!

    Great ball for change

    I’ve struggled to get my Ripcord to make the turn by the last 17 feet and this ball has allowed me to stay in the same position. It continues to finish where the OG Ripcord takes too much time in my case. I’ve already shot 3 700 series with it because of how well a transition ball it is. With 450rpm at 15-15.50mph it’s a great addition to the bag

    Angularity in a box.

    If you want angularity and shape down lane look no further than Motiv Bowling’s new Ripcord Velocity release.
    The different angles this ball creates is awesome, by far the single most angular ball I’ve ever had in my hands to date from Motiv. The Oblivion symmetric core paired with the Infusion MVP pearl cover just gives you that perfect benchmark reaction every bowler should have in his bag.
    The versatility of this ball is going to pair well with many different shots you will encounter, you won’t be disappointed. To top it off the color pour on this baby is absolutely beautiful. Yet another great addition to the ball chart by the best company in bowling.

    Fly Faster!

    55 x 4 ½” x 35

    Not only is the new Ripcord Velocity the snappiest iteration of this medium-oil ball line, the gold and navy color combination also make it one of the snazziest to date for MOTIV. Improving, and strengthening, the Infusion technology that was on the Fatal Venom, the new Infusion MVP Pearl (finished at 5500 LSP) provides easy length and retains energy for an explosive backend motion. Wrapping this shell around the Oblivion core (2.53 RG, .047 Diff) further enhances the skid/snap reaction thanks to both its higher RG number as well as the flare-enhancing nature of dual density blocks.

    After having my original Ripcord drilled with a 5” pin and watching it push further down lane than expected, I was hesitant to go that far again which is why I went with a ‘middle ground’ (for me) 4 ½”. After throwing the Velocity for several games, my fears were clearly misguided. This shell is an excellent fusion of strength in midlane oil and devastating backend power; this may be the flippiest ball to date I have thrown. When on the fresh I need to square up a bit since out-of-box this is meant as a medium condition enforcer, but nonetheless there is enough muscle in this ball to throw it out of the gates on most any house shot. Testing the ball on a day-after-league shot, it shone its brightest. I started out laying down 22 crossing 16 and it came flying back to leave a 9-pin. I moved a two and one and bang, another 9-pin. Several more moves later, a bit more flirting with the 9-pin, and no diminished continuation in sight, I found my line at 30-21. The length is effortless, and the backend recovery is absolutely incredible. Every time my ball got out into the dry it would make an abrupt direction change and go screaming towards the 1-3 as through it was trying to get to the 7-pin itself. As with any ball I could not let my angles get too ridiculous without seeing a diminished return, but by the time you reach that point you should either be at the end of a block or already transitioning into the next compliment down such as the Fatal Venom. If you are in need of a medium oil skid/snap weapon in your arsenal, the Ripcord Velocity perfectly fits the bill.
