It pairs the symmetric Affliction V2 Core with an aggressive solid cover at a coarse surface, delivering heavy flare and early traction without the layout sensitivity of an asymmetric, the symmetric heavy-oil piece in the bag. Like all of Motiv's high-performance equipment, it is made in the U.S.A.\n\nThe Raptor Reign pairs that Affliction V2 Core with Motiv's Leverage MXV Solid Reactive coverstock at a 2000-grit LSS finish. The symmetric core produces strong flare and a continuous shape, while the sanded solid cover grabs the heaviest oil early, a powerful, controllable read for high volume.\n\nUnderstanding the Motiv Affliction V2 Core and Motiv Leverage MXV Solid Reactive\n\nMotiv built the Raptor Reign for strong, controllable traction on heavy oil. Specifically, the symmetric Affliction V2 Core produces heavy flare and a continuous motion, while the Leverage MXV Solid cover at a 2000-grit finish grabs the front and midlane early for serious traction. As a result, it controls heavy volume with strong hook and the smooth, repeatable read of a symmetric ball. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.\n\nA Strong Symmetric Core for Heavy Flare on High Volume\n\nAt the heart of the Raptor Reign is the symmetric Affliction V2 Core. At 15 lb it measures a low RG of 2.48 and a strong .055 differential, numbers that produce heavy flare and a continuous, driving motion. The low RG revs the ball early and the high differential supplies the flare to clear the heaviest volume.\n\nThat strength with control is what makes the Raptor Reign so useful on heavy oil. As a symmetric core, it reads the lane predictably and repeats the same shape shot after shot, so you get serious hook without the layout sensitivity of an asymmetric, a strong, forgiving heavy-oil piece.\n\nAn Aggressive Solid Cover for Early Heavy-Oil Traction\n\nThe Raptor Reign wraps that core in Motiv's Leverage MXV Solid Reactive coverstock at a 2000-grit LSS finish. The sanded solid cover grabs the front and midlane early and hard, delivering the traction needed to handle the heaviest oil, then driving continuously through the pins.\n\nThat strong, early read is what lets the Raptor Reign control high volume. The Leverage MXV solid digs in, and the Affliction V2 core turns that traction into heavy, continuous hook. Leave it at the 2000-grit box surface for maximum traction, or polish it up at your pro shop for a cleaner, longer read when the volume drops.\n\nRaptor Reign Specs\n\nRG and differential vary by weight. Specifications provided by the manufacturer.\n\nWho This Ball Is Right For\n\n✓Tournament Players: A strong, controllable symmetric solid for heavy oil, with heavy flare and early traction\n\n✓Higher-Rev Bowlers: The low-RG Affliction V2 core revs early and the sanded cover digs in for continuous, driving hook\n\n✓Heavy-Oil Stylists: Strong traction with the forgiveness of a symmetric ball, an alternative to the layout-sensitive asymmetrics\n\n✓Arsenal Builders: The symmetric heavy-oil piece in the bag, a strong, forgiving complement to the asymmetric Jackals\n\nGood to Know Before You Buy\n\n·Strong, aggressive motion: This is a high-flare piece built for traction. If you want a controlled, lower-hook reaction, a lower-differential ball will suit you better.\n\n·Ships sanded for traction: The 2000 Grit LSS finish is built to grip in oil. Polish it for more length when the volume drops.\n\n·Colors vary: Actual colors vary somewhat from the photos shown; no two balls come out of the mold exactly alike.\n\n·Tiny pit holes are normal: A few tiny pit holes in the coverstock are a normal part of the manufacturing process.\n\n·Sold undrilled: Ships without finger holes, so it can be fitted to your hand and span.\n\nBowlersMart Tips: Where the Raptor Reign Fits in Your Motiv Arsenal\n\nWhere It Fits in Your Arsenal\n\nIn the Motiv lineup, the Raptor Reign is the symmetric heavy-oil solid. Where the asymmetric Jackals attack the heaviest volume with maximum flare and a defined breakpoint, the symmetric Raptor Reign gives you strong traction with a smoother, more forgiving read. It sits high in the bag for fresh, heavy oil, alongside or just below the Jackals depending on how much shape you want.\n\nSurface Adjustments\n\nThe 2000-grit LSS finish is built for early, strong traction. Take it lower for more bite on the heaviest oil, or polish it up for a cleaner, longer read when the volume drops. Have surface changes done at your pro shop for an even, consistent finish.\n\nCoverstock Care\n\nWipe the Leverage MXV cover with an approved reactive ball cleaner after every session, and deep clean it periodically. A strong solid at a low grit absorbs oil quickly, so keeping it clean preserves the traction that defines the Raptor Reign.\n\nEarn points on every Motiv purchase through the Striking Rewards loyalty program.
