Repeatable Performance Throw After Throw from the 7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy Frame Shaft

7075-T6 is often referred to as the “Strongest Aluminum” grade normally reserved for the aerospace industry. 7075 aluminum alloy's composition roughly includes 6% zinc, 2.3% magnesium, 1.4% copper. T6 is the temper, which stands for the heat treatment process that keeps the tubes at 450° Celsius for several hours, then are quenched, and finally aged at 120° Celsius for 24 hours. Yeah, that much work goes into just the aluminum tubes! What does this mean for you? Said simply, the frame is super strong so it won’t break and it keeps all the parts in alignment such that each throw has the same performance over and over.

Increased In-Flight Stability from the Polycarbonate Wing Bracket

Mounting the wings up high dramatically increases the inherent stability during flight. However, this creates crazy high impact loads that get transferred through the wing bracket. To prevent wing bracket failure, we use polycarbonate because it is one of the strongest polymers in resisting impacts as it is the same polymer used to make bullet proof windows. Polycarbonate is expensive, but only the best would do for the Raptor Football so it lasts crash after crash.

Increased Durability from the 40% Glass-Filled Polycarbonate Reinforcing Insert

One part you will never see is the insert hidden deep inside the aluminum tube that is designed and positioned to reinforce the frame under the worst of crashes. We use polycarbonate mixed with glass fibers to increase its stiffness. Durability of the Raptor Football is unparalled.

Safety, Comfort and Durability all from the XL Extralight® Front Foam

The front foam has to be light, resilient and take one heck of a beating. We worked with Foam Creations to create a custom blend using the proprietary XL Extralight® foam process to make the best darn front end we could. It is amazing how many times you can crash over and over and the foam holds up each time.

Impact Resistance Designed with the ABS Deformable Wing and Tail

Our wing and tails are made from ABS polymer because it is a great tradeoff between strength and weight. Also, our aerospace engineers created a novel thin-form wing design that can deform upon impact to increase durability, but then remain rigid in flight. There isn’t a wing like this in the market today.

Ease of Learning Enhanced by the Rotatable Throwing Mechanism

Our videos make it look easy but don't be fooled, the Raptor Football does take some time to learn as this is not a throwing aid for the uncoordinated. Therefore, to aid in perfect flights each time, we incorporated a torque-cancelling rotatable throwing mechanism to reduce the learning curve and get you flying well as soon as possible.

One Size Fits All Due to the Adjustable Horizontal Tail

Different people will throw the Raptor Football differently and different distances need to be adjusted accordingly. So we included a thumb screw controlling the pitch of the tail allowing you to tailor the Raptor Football’s flight characteristics in the field without the need for tools. So no matter your age, from 12 to 60, you can tailor the Raptor Football to your throwing ability.

Ages 12+

The Raptor Football is not a throwing aid. While we make throwing the Raptor Football back and forth look easy, it will take time and skill to learn how to throw and catch so watch our Assembly and Throwing Instructions Video before you hit the field. Some will get the hang of it real quick, but others might take much longer. The Raptor Football will challenge your skills, but once mastered it is the farthest flying football ever! Do you have what it takes the Master the Raptor?
