Overview
MOTIV built the Raptor Reign as a heavy-oil reactive ball around its strongest symmetrical core, called Affliction. A new Leverage MXV cover is wrapped around that core and is meant to chew through high oil volume.
A strong cover paired with a fast-spinning, flaring symmetrical core is the pitch, and the maker says it retains drive through the pins. The limit is that it is a specialty ball for oily conditions, with drilling and surface prep left undescribed.
Who it's for
Competitive bowlers on high volume oil, whether speed dominant, balanced or rev dominant, are the intended users according to the maker. Newer bowlers, younger players in the lower weights, and those who bowl mostly on dry lanes should consider a milder ball.
Pros and cons
- Strong symmetrical core with high flare
- Reactive cover tuned for heavy oil
- Wide weight range offered
- One year limited warranty
- Youth age field conflicts with description
- Drilling not described
- Specialized for heavy oil
Performance notes
A low RG makes the core spin early, while the high differential adds flare, which spreads the track across fresh surface and builds traction in oil. The reactive cover grips through the front of the lane and holds its shape downlane, so energy carries into the pins. Lane volume and release decide how much of that shows up.
