Motiv Raptor Reign Bowling Ball

The Motiv Raptor Reign Bowling Ball is built to conquer today’s ever-changing lane conditions. With more oil up front and carrydown creating chaos, this ball gives bowlers the power to stay ahead. Designed as a true heavy oil beast, it provides an aggressive yet controlled reaction that grips the lane and drives through the pins with confidence.

At its core, the Raptor Reign features the Affliction V2, MOTIV’s strongest symmetrical design to date. With a low RG and a high differential of .055, this powerhouse generates strong flare potential and mid-lane control. Unlike many balls built for heavy oil, this symmetrical core delivers versatility and continuation that high-performance players demand. The result is incredible control without sacrificing explosive backend motion.

Surrounding the core is the Leverage MXV Solid Reactive Coverstock, crafted for the modern game. Engineered to cut through high volumes of oil, it also thrives in tighter lane environments where control is critical. This coverstock not only compares in strength to the Jackal Onyx and Subzero Forge, but it also maintains shape and drive downlane to crush through carrydown. With the Motiv Raptor Reign, you don’t just adjust to lane conditions—you dominate them.

Bowlers looking for maximum traction, continuous motion, and dependable power will find the Raptor Reign to be the ultimate weapon. Packed with cutting-edge technology, it’s a must-have for any bowler serious about excelling in today’s demanding competitive environment.

When to Use

Speed Dominant - 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 - 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.

Rev Dominant - 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.
