Motiv Ripcord Velocity Bowling Ball

Ripcord Velocity This ball is latest in the very successful Rip Cord line created by MOTIV. The MOTIV Ripcord Velocity is all about angle. This core to cover combination creates more angle then seen before in any MOTIV ball created for medium oil. It features the dual density Oblivion weight block, in combination with the new Infusion MVP Pearl Reactive cover stock. The Infusion cover provides ease of length with a pronounced response to friction at the end of the pattern. It's built to fly fast and corner hard and will not disappoint on either asset. It will be a great fit in your bag on light to medium oil. With the high RG and moderate differential, it is built for versatility on medium oil conditions, retaining energy, while the dual density weight block and high differential take over to produce a violent skid-flip backend reaction. The Rip Cord Velocity will become that ball you can count on when you need length and backend recovery, it stores energy and continue through the pin deck. My Ripcord Velocity is laid out pin in the ring finger, the cg shifted about 2" to the right. This ball has already found a place in my bag and drives through the pins with easy from any angle. If you are looking for that go to ball that will clear the fronts, recover from what seems like anywhere, has continuation and awesome hitting power. Look no further, you've found it.

Core: Oblivion Type: Symmetric Coverstock: Infusion MVP Pearl Reactive Box Finish: 5500 Grit LSS Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlIo2Olj_CA Layout: 45 x 4 ½ x 70 Ripcord Velocity (noun): 1. uses the Oblivion Symmetric core shape that was used previously in the Paranoia series and in the first two Ripcord balls. 2. Infusion MVP Pearl Reactive veneer is prepped with a 5500 grit polished box finish. 3. Continues the tradition of strong down lane motion allowing you to open your angles. Strengths Ripcord Velocity will give you a lot of its muscle up front when it encounters friction, this also allows it provide suitable back end motion for a variety oof rev rates. Infusion MVP Pearl is what gives Ripcord Velocity length which makes it ideal fitting between Fatal Venom or other dull weaponry you may have in your arsenal. The traction that Ripcord Velocity creates somewhat reduces its back end just enough that it fits below that of Jackal Flash and Supra, however it still provides a strong ball motion down lane. Weaknesses Because Ripcord Velocity has a strong roll to it as the friction increases it can become too much ball depending on the user, as the friction increases it will nudge you further away from your comfort zone. To combat this you make want to ball down or move your breakpoint. Overall Summary Using Ripcord Velocity on the conditions it was designed for gave me my best looks, medium oil in particular as I was able to play where I am most comfortable which is standing left and throwing right. I had plenty of down lane recovery as Ripcord Velocity is strong off the friction, as the transition came it became a matter of projection manipulation. I consider Ripcord Velocity an excellent choice for playing steeper angles after opening the lanes up with Forge Flare or Jackal Legacy, to an extent I had success on heavier patterns taking advantage of the heavy roll. Smaller rev rates will find Ripcord Velocity useful in regard to the strong ball motion it provides down lane, out of box it is cleaner than both Forge Flare and Jackal Legacy but will change direction just as hard down lane. If you've never got the change to try to Ripcord or Ripcord Flight I encourage you to take a look at Ripcord Velocity. Your game will Thank you. K.C. White II Motiv Staff IAMBowling Staff

Being left handed, I've always been a fan of pearl covers when I need to get right and create angle at tournaments, and the new Velocity is the perfect ball to do just that. I can open my angles up with ease and get the ball through the front part of the lane without sacrificing any down lane motion. I also see myself using this ball a lot on surfaces with higher friction, or later on league nights when there have been a couple of games bowled. This ball definitely fills a huge hole in my bag and I'm looking forward to drilling up more in the future! Layout: 60 x 4 1/2 x 40 Hand: Left Devon Miller MOTIV Staff

The Ripcord Velocity is the third Ripcord released by Motiv and is by far the fastest one of the three. The original Ripcord matched my game well but at times would not allow me to open up the lane as much as I wanted/needed to. I was very excited when I heard about the Velocity. The Velocity for me is about 3-4 boards stronger than my original Ripcord and also takes surface very well. I hit mine with a 2k pad by hand and it tamed it down and I am able to use it all night at league. If you're looking for a ball to open the lanes up and give you that fast reaction, the Ripcord Velocity is the ball for you. Adam Yoshii Motiv Bowling Staff

Layout: 55 x 4 ½" x 35 Not only is the new Ripcord Velocity the snappiest iteration of this medium-oil ball line, the gold and navy color combination also make it one of the snazziest to date for MOTIV. Improving, and strengthening, the Infusion technology that was on the Fatal Venom, the new Infusion MVP Pearl (finished at 5500 LSP) provides easy length and retains energy for an explosive backend motion. Wrapping this shell around the Oblivion core (2.53 RG, .047 Diff) further enhances the skid/snap reaction thanks to both its higher RG number as well as the flare-enhancing nature of dual density blocks. After having my original Ripcord drilled with a 5" pin and watching it push further down lane than expected, I was hesitant to go that far again which is why I went with a 'middle ground' (for me) 4 ½". After throwing the Velocity for several games, my fears were clearly misguided. This shell is an excellent fusion of strength in midlane oil and devastating backend power; this may be the flippiest ball to date I have thrown. When on the fresh I need to square up a bit since out-of-box this is meant as a medium condition enforcer, but nonetheless there is enough muscle in this ball to throw it out of the gates on most any house shot. Testing the ball on a day-after-league shot, it shone its brightest. I started out laying down 22 crossing 16 and it came flying back to leave a 9-pin. I moved a two and one and bang, another 9-pin. Several more moves later, a bit more flirting with the 9-pin, and no diminished continuation in sight, I found my line at 30-21. The length is effortless, and the backend recovery is absolutely incredible. Every time my ball got out into the dry it would make an abrupt direction change and go screaming towards the 1-3 as through it was trying to get to the 7-pin itself. As with any ball I could not let my angles get too ridiculous without seeing a diminished return, but by the time you reach that point you should either be at the end of a block or already transitioning into the next compliment down such as the Fatal Venom. If you are in need of a medium oil skid/snap weapon in your arsenal, the Ripcord Velocity perfectly fits the bill. Trent Overbey In the Zone Pro Shop MOTIV Staff www.motivbowling.com
