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.

    Ripcord

    The Ripcord is an amazing ball. It rolls down the lane smooth and hits the pocket with a powerful punch that throws pins everywhere. I recommend this ball for any Motiv fan.

    Best pearl yet

    This ball does everything advertised. I love how it gets through the fronts and then comes off the spot sharp and hard into the pocket. Pins don't have a chance. Creates a lot of pin action. Perfect ball once lanes transition.

    Fantastic

    League shot is a 40 foot medium oil layout. Most of the bowlers roll the bowling ball around the same mark, down and in. I like to bowl around the 5th arrow. Needless to say it gets dry very quickly and I have to start moving to my left by the end of the game. I pulled out my Ripcord with very little practice. It is drilled to the right of my ring finger with 1/2 ounce on my thumb. Bowling ball hit high on the head pin. Moved to my left continuously through the second and third game. The ball was very predictable. It did not over react or jump on me. Very strong on the back end even at 5000 coverstock. I think I might try a little polish when I practice next time to see how she reacts. I also pulled the ball in and rolled it over the 3rd arrow. She was able to hold and maintain enough energy to strike consistently. Fantastic ball. I ended up bowling a 772 series that night. I am 218 average bowler on league shots and a 206 average on a sport shot.

    Ripcord RIPS!

    As a big Motiv supporter, I was super excited to give the Ripcord a try.

    I’ve had this ball for a couple months now and it has become my first ball out the bag for league and tournaments. I absolutely love the motion on this thing. As a lower rev player this ball has given me options to play down and in or outside. Compliments my Covert Tank very well. #Motivated #MotivNation

    About Me Im a pretty avid bowler. I carry about a 220-225 average fresh out of high school. Been throwing Motiv for about 2 and a half to maybe 3 years now. I bought a paranoia for cheap off a buddy and that struck my love for the company!

    Ripcord Greatness

    When the Ripcord was first announced, I could not have been any happier. With the Paranoia being my favorite ball of all time, them bringing back the Oblivion core and wrapping it in the all new Infusion Reactive cover stock, I was more than hyped for this ball. For me, the Ripcord is very clean through the fronts and has no fear of making the turn on the backend. Showing such amazing continuation through the pins, the Ripcord shortly found a way to be a first out of my bag on league nights. Haven’t had much opportunity to throw this on many sport conditions, but with such a smooth reaction off the friction, without a doubt do I think that the Ripcord would be a great ball on any condition of oil. Ripcord is definitely a must have in everyone’s bag!
