The Motiv Ripcord Launch was designed with an angular "skid-flip" reaction in mind. This polished, pearl-reactive high-performance bowling ball pairs best with medium oil conditions. The Ripcord Launch introduces the Ripcord line of bowling balls to the powerful Propulsion coverstock technology. The Propulsion MVP Pearl Reactive coverstock is wrapped around a special density-modified symmetrical Torx V2 core. This core and cover combination results in a powerful down-lane shape with exciting backend-hitting strength that handles oil without giving up angularity. In short, the Motiv Ripcord Launch produces easy length with a snappy backend reaction on medium-oiled lanes.

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!

Core: Torx V2
Type: Symmetrical
Coverstock: Propulsion MVP Pearl Reactive
Box Finish: 5500 Grit LSP

Layout: 80 x 2½ x 30

Strengths
The Ripcord Launch is a rather angular ball and it has more teeth at the breakpoint than the Ripcord Velocity, and more angular.

Weaknesses
I wasn’t successful using Ripcord Launch on heavier oil patterns because of how clean the cover is, it skids too far with its shiny surface as it doesn’t have enough teeth.

Overall Summary
Ripcord Launch is nothing short of skid/flip. Ripcord Launch is meant to for you to open your angles up with caution to the wind, the more friction I’ve encountered the more angularity I’ve benefited from. 
I encourage you to take yourself out to Launch.
Your game will thank you for it.
