Layout 65 x 5" x 30 Looking to find that medium oil pieces that is meant to tackle extreme angles with snappy backend reaction? The Ripcord Launch is just the piece for you. Wrapping the quick reacting Propulsion coverstock technology around the new Torx V2 core (2.51RG, .048Diff), which was specially modified for this ball, has created an excellent skid-flip arsenal piece in the middle of MOTIV's lineup. Seeing as I already have the Pride Empire to help me through the first typical league-night transition, I wanted to lay my Ripcord Launch out with a longer, higher pin to create even more push and response as the block goes deeper into the night. Insert first game out of box 268 as it did everything I wanted it to do. The length provided by the cover and pin distance is good enough to get through the first and second transitions with ease. Once the Launch got to the outside friction, the response to it was fast, creating a sharp transition from the hook to roll phase. What I enjoy even more than the response time, which gives quite a bit of room for error, is the ability of this ball to keep the pins low so they mix around more even if the entry angle into the pocket is not ideal. Nestled nicely between the Forge Ember/Carbide Tank (for oil) and the Venom line (for drier), the Ripcord Launch is a great skid-flip ball for when the lanes dictate fast response for the backend or extreme launch angles.

The new Ripcord Launch is easily the greatest Ripcord to ever come out! Using V2 of the highly popular Torx core, and wrapped it with the next version of the Propulsion cover seen on the Pride Empire. This ball along with the Pride Empire is quickly proving that the Propulsion cover is EASILY the best cover to have ever been developed! This ball gets through the front part of the lane super well, picks up in the midlane really good, and has so much downlane motion, continuation, and energy to absolutely destroy the pocket!
