The Captain’s Raptor returns for 2026 in a brand-new blend: Z Confetti, requested by Paul Ulibarri himself. This year’s run is stable when you need it but features enough glide and forward carry to push distance for stronger arms. You can put power behind it and it won’t fold. You can commit to those extreme hyzer lines and it keeps driving. Pop it on a flex line and it fights back to center before finishing with that signature, reliable fade.
This run carries a slight flex that enhances hand feel and improves grip confidence, especially on power throws and touchy release angles. The result is a Captain’s Raptor that still delivers that dependable stability, but feels a little more “locked in” when you’re ripping forehands, leaning into a backhand, or throwing in less-than-perfect conditions.
