MOTIV® Raptor Reign

Dominate the Chaos

The lanes have changed—more oil up front, more carrydown, and more chaos. Winners adapt, and the Raptor Reign is built for that new reality. Engineered as a modern heavy-oil beast, this aggressive solid reactive ball gives high-performance bowlers the traction and continuation they need to impose their will on the lanes.

At its core is the Affliction V2, MOTIV®’s strongest symmetrical core ever. With a low RG and high differential of .055, this fast-spinning powerhouse grips the mid-lane with authority while delivering incredible flare potential and continuation. Forget the myth that only asymmetrical cores can handle heavy oil—the Raptor Reign proves that symmetrics can dominate with strength and versatility.

Wrapped in the all-new Leverage MXV Solid Reactive coverstock, this shell was designed for today’s conditions. Strong enough to chew through the heaviest volumes of oil, yet versatile enough to create motion when lanes are tight. Unlike previous Leverage covers that smoothed reaction, the Raptor Reign maintains drive through the pins even with carrydown. It’s as strong in the soup as the Subzero Forge or Jackal Onyx but offers a cleaner, more decisive shape downlane.

When to Use

• Speed Dominant Bowlers:
  Perfect for players who need a strong cover that digs early while still offering continuation. The Raptor Reign provides more downlane motion than typical heavy oil pieces, making it ideal for speed-dominant styles.

• Balanced Bowlers:
  A reliable first option early in blocks on high-volume conditions. Even with urethane in play dragging oil downlane, the Raptor Reign’s versatile cover and Affliction V2 core deliver a strong, confident read.

• Rev Dominant Bowlers:
  Tour-level rev players asked for this ball—and MOTIV delivered. With a stronger solid cover that’s not overly forward, the Raptor Reign gives rev-dominant players a versatile heavy oil option that works fresh, shiny, or in transition.
