Ripcord

Infuse your game with angle with the Ripcord™.  Tuned to create as much angle and continuation through the pins as possible, the Ripcord™ is the ideal ball for generating incredible down lane motion on moderate volumes of oil.  When the oil in the front part of the lane is depleted and moving in to create angle is the only option, the Ripcord™ will create that angle with ease.

The latest development in coverstock technology, the Infusion™ Reactive cover gives easy length with incredible down lane motion.  This cover is tuned for today’s higher viscosity oils to provide length without risking the ball slipping through the breakpoint.

The Oblivion™ core is a finely tuned device for creating as much angle and continuation through the pins as possible.  Every component of this core is designed to help bowlers create down lane motion.  The high rg creates easy length.  The moderate differential ensures that the ball will not flare too little and miss the break point.  Added to this great rg/diff combo is a dynamic dual density component!  The massive flip block on the bottom of the Oblivion core only adds to the angle it creates.

    Angle and Continuation anyone?

    If you’re looking for a symmetrical ball that you need to count on turning the corner the Ripcord is the ball you’re looking for. A lot of pearl symmetrical ball don’t rev up early enough and squirt past the break point. The Ripcord has easy length with revving late in the midlane with tons continuation on the back easily the sharpest breakpoint out of any Motiv ball I have thrown. I drilled 2; one pin down 4 1/4” pin, which offers moderate control with good shape down lane. The other is pin up 4 ¾” pin and this one is very clean with tons of pop.

    Ripcord

    I have two Ripcords, both are great balls. One is drilled to go longer, and I have found it to come in handy when lanes are drying out.

    Must own

    I've been throwing Motiv since the beginning( the sx1 days) and have throw everything I can get my hands on. Since I have drilled this ball I haven't been able to put it down. The Ripcord reads the lane like a dream and when it hits friction, is fast off the spot and has such great continuation through the pins. This is a ball that isn't leaving my bag anytime soon and I'd suggest giving it a shot. At least check out your local test drive event and see for yourself you will not be disappointed!!

    Motiv Ripcord

    The Motiv Ripcord features the all new Infusion Reactive cover and the Oblivion core from the Paranoia series. The combination of this cover and core has allowed for a true skid flip motion. I have found that the Ripcord allows me to really open my angles up as games go on through a session, but without losing hitting power. The Ripcord is very responsive to down lane friction, and I have found a great spot in the bag for it after my Rogue Assassin. I can start with the Assassin and when the angle becomes too steep for the Assassin, I can go straight to the Ripcord and continue striking. Do yourself a favor and add a Ripcord to the bag!

    Give the Ripcord a pull!

    Drilled up the Ripcord right at release date and haven't looked back. The center I bowl league at is known for how much friction there is. This ball matches up with that perfectly. I am able to move well to the inside part of the lane, and know that the Ripcord will easily have no problem not only making the turn, but also going through the pins with ease. Ball skates seamlessly through the heads and delivers a powerful left turn at the break point. Can't get enough of this motion, and really looking forward to throwing it all season.
