Primal Fear

5.0Read Reviews

The Primal Fear is the latest in the incredibly successful Primal™ line of MOTIV® bowling balls. Continuing with the intimidating performance standards set by the Primal Rage and Primal Rage Remix, the Primal Fear is an angular monster built for medium-heavy oil patterns.

The proven Impulse™ V2 core at the center of the Primal Fear remains one of the most advanced in the industry. The dynamic dual-density design provides a strong skid-flip reaction and backend propulsion that is incredibly impressive.  Integrating this core technology with new Voracity™ Pearl Reactive cover stock, the Primal Fear delivers more power and continuation than ever before. Voracity™ is the most aggressive and most angular pearl cover ever used in the Primal™ line. The Primal Fear is tuned with a 5000 Grit LSP finish.  

Fans of the Primal Rage will appreciate the ability of the Primal Fear to combat higher viscosity oils and higher volume patterns. Bowlers who have thrown the Remix edition will find that the Primal Fear is cleaner down the lane with improved continuation.

    My First ball

    This was my first ball I got and used and I love it. I got it like 5 or 6 years ago for my junior high league and I loved the ball it did really good for me.

    Nice Ball

    Very pleased with what I have gotten from this ball. Took the cover stock down to 2000 and man what a difference. Being a speed dominate bowler, cover stock can be a major part of ball reaction. Love the ball.

    AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL OPEN SINGLES TITLE

    I am a regular participant at the Australian National Championships. I arrived Friday after a ten drive to stand up with the primal fear and shoot games of 258 244 258 for a 760 set to win the National Singles Title. I also finish 5th in the Australian Masters using the Fear and the Jackal LE. Thanks for the great gear.

    300 WITH PRIMAL FEAR

    Hi, I was able to get my hands on a Primal Fear early and had it drilled but did not throw it yet. A few days later on Oct 30th, I pulled it out of the bag for my second game of league play. Shot 300 and had the first 17 strikes out the gate with it. Already fell in love with this ball. I have video from two different friends of the 12th shot.
