It was inevitable, two of the most proven forces in MOTIV history were bound to collide and the result is something truly spectacular.  The Venom line, one of the most trusted lines in bowling, pairs with the exact coverstock and color combination from the 2025 Ball of the Year, the Evoke Hysteria.  This deadly combination delivers the predictability and control of the Venom line while adding a new level of traction and bite!  When the Evoke Hysteria is too strong but you want to stay in the Propulsion MXV cover, this new Venom Hysteria is going to be the perfect ball to complement it.

Gear™ Symmetrical

At the center of the Venom Hysteria is the Gear™ Core.  Arguably the most proven, low RG, low Differential symmetrical core in bowling.  This is the same engine that made the Venom Shock a legend.  The Gear Core revs up quickly and stabilizes in the mid-lane without excessive flare. That means you get strong read and consistency without the ball burning up too early. It picks up when you need it to and keeps driving through the pins.

Propulsion™ MXV Pearl Coverstock

Originally featured on the Evoke Hysteria, The Propulsion MXV pearl coverstock is one of the most successful in recent years.  This Propulsion MXV (Maximum Versatility) formula gives bowlers more length through the front of the lane while maintaining traction in oil and a controlled bite on friction.  That balance makes it incredibly versatile across house shots and tournament conditions.  This new Venom brings deadly consistency and pure HYSTERIA!

When to Use

  • Speed Dominant

    Speed dominant players looking for a ball that can serve as a ball down for their Evoke Hysteria will appreciate the Venom Hysteria.  The lower flaring symmetrical core should be a great option after the Evoke Hysteria.  The Venom Hysteria creates more down lane motion than a Venom Shock, but is not as angular or aggressive as a Nebula, giving the bowler a weaker, but comparable motion to their Evoke Hysteria.

  • Balanced

    For the balanced bowlers, the Venom Hysteria is a pearl to have in the bag to fill so many gaps.  When Venom Shocks are too early or smooth, the Venom Hysteria will have no problem stepping into that spot.  Additionally, when the Nebula is too angular or aggressive and a tamer shape is needed, the Venom Hysteria is ideal.  Lower volume or higher fiction patterns that don’t allow for the use of a Venom Shock have now met their match.

  • Rev Dominant

    Those whose revs overwhelm their ball speed will appreciate the versatility and control given by combining the Propulsion MXV cover and Gear core.  The fast spinning, but low flaring Gear core with a pearl designed to conquer many conditions gives the rev dominant a pearl option they can control when so many other pearls want to be erratic down lane.

    The Venom line just got SERIOUSLY stronger

    My first reaction throwing the Venom Hysteria was “Wow, this is strong.” But the more I threw it, the more I appreciated how it blends power with control. The Propulsion MXV cover digs just enough to give me control in the mids and enough backend shape to become a must have in my bag. The Gear core compliments the cover perfectly giving a ball which can be used on multiple conditions!

    House shot killer!!!

    The Venom Hysteria is absolutely incredible and absolutely an early contender for ball of the year!!!!

    The Propulsion MXV pearl cover gives the Venom Hysteria enough traction to dig through the oil when missing left while still not over reacting when missing right into the dry. It offers and insane amount of control and versatility. From sport shots to house shots, whether you're rev dominant, balanced, or speed dominant the Venom Hysteria is absolutely going to be a perfect match and fit nicely in any bowlers bag.

    Completely WOW-ed!

    I was able to drill my Venom Hysteria and post a review to my channels. First impressions have been unbelievable! This was the easiest review I’ve ever filmed!

    The Hysteria cover gives the ball great traction getting into its breakpoint, but not too early where it loses energy. The Venom core has always been super predictable and retains great shape throughout the pattern.

    The Venom Hysteria had comparable overall hook to the Venom Shock & Black Venom, but with more length. Compared to the Hyper Venom, the Venom Hysteria was much stronger at the breakpoint and not as sensitive to oil down lane.

    Can’t wait to throw this ball more in league & tournaments!
