Second series out of the box 687. I’m a lefty 73 years old medium speed, so far I love this ball and think it’s one of the best balls I’ve ever thrown

This ball does it all! I’m 10 months into bowling and wish this was the first ball I ever invested in. For all you new bowlers curious about a “benchmark ball” or your first ever, I promise this ball will exceed your expectations and will forever have a slot in your arsenal. First ball out the bag, medium, light, dry oil.. the Venom Shock does it all. Low rev, high rev, speed dominant.. this ball gets the job done with confidence!

Smooth, powerful, continuous hook, but also controllable! Great overall ball!

Got this ball as a medium oil league ball to offset the Subzero Forge and Jackel ExJ. First night on league bowled 624. Great action on the back with a hard snap into the pocket and the angle comes across the lane nicely. Highly recommend for anyone that likes a deep angle sharp reaction.

Newest addition to my Motiv collection! Hits hard and reaction is great!

Great ball! I was looking for something that was a bit earlier than anything I have in my bag. Got this ball less than two weeks ago. My second set with it I shot 300/800. It's smooth and consistent. The best thing is I haven't had a shot just jump several boards left on me in the third game like my other asymmetrical balls tend to do. It's my first Motiv ball and definitely won't be my last.

This ball is an absolute MONSTER. I have mine drilled aggressive and it has not disappointed. Once I found the line for this ball, it was over. 10 days after having it, I bowled a 300. I already have 2 with it in less than a year. It hits the pocket like nothing else I've seen and the pins go flying. Some of my bowling buddies call it the Cheat Ball because it's like I can't miss. Even an off shot recovers and explodes the pins. I highly recommend getting this ball. I already talked 4 people into getting it. Will you be next?

I bought the Max Thrill Hybrid to be my burnt lane ball. This thing is the second ball out of my bag. It gives me so many options and plenty of room for error. The shape on the lane is exactly what looks good to my eyes. I would highly recommend!

I drilled my Apex 70* x 4 x 40*, uncertain what to expect. I have never matched up well with the Jackal series, but the core with a higher Rg intrigued me enough to give this one a try. Historically I have been a fan of Motiv’s dual density cores. When I say repeated surprises, what I mean is it wasn’t one aspect of this ball’s motion that surprised me. It was several. While I didn’t have much expectation on overall strength, that was the first surprise. While not the strongest overall motion I have seen, it was definitely more than I anticipated. I was comfortably swinging the ball immediately, something I have struggled to do with anything in my house all year. The next surprise came when missing wide. Unlike my Jackal’s of the past, the Apex provided PLENTY of recovery to get back to the pocket AND carry. I was also pleasantly surprised by the hold the Apex provided when I pulled a shot. Not only did it stay right and hit the pocket, but carried very well (even when I felt like I deserved a corner pin). As a bonus, the colors Motiv chose makes the Apex look really good going down the lane. I would recommend this ball for anyone looking for a medium/high strength asymmetric ball that hits/carries well and offers plenty of forgiveness. I will be throwing this ball a lot.

Don’t be fooled by the lower price tag. The Thrill series is just as much quality as any other Motiv ball. They hook plenty & hit hard. I have been using this ball on a house pattern for a couple years now & it shows no sign of slowing down. It mows pins over, period.
