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.

    Ferocious and steady

    The Venom Hysteria is a perfect blend! The Venom line has become my favorite with the Evoke line close behind but this blend of two balls together is dynamite. The consistency with the down lane roll with a great turn and ferocious drive have been fun to say the least! I have shot two 800's and one with a 300 in it! My series average has went up since putting this in my arsenal. I beleive it gets stronger as the lanes break down a bit but still keeps that lane consistency. I would recommend this ball to anyone, it's a must have in the bag.

    Great ball!

    Wow what a great ball! It’s very predictable and gives you a little room for error. Bowled my first 300 with it last week during league!

    It's not just Hype!

    For those that love the Venom Shock Like I do, this ball is everything I could have wanted and more! It's smooth in the front of the lane but boy does it make a move to the pocket downlane. This ball will come with me wherever I go, I can assure you that.

    Great Piece to the Puzzle

    I'm a higher rev player. The Venom Hysteria for me is a great piece to the puzzle! Evoke Mayhem to Evoke Hysteria then into Venom Hysteria when transition gets to be too much for the Evoke Hysteria. Venom Hysteria is a great ball for those later blocks in tournament when Asymmetrical is a bit too much. It also works very well on medium-drier conditions where you need something to get through the fronts clean with strong recovery & drive through the pins! Definitely a must have in the arsenal!

    MOTIV VENOM HYSTERIA

    The perfect combination has been made. Venom Shock meets 2025 BOY Evoke Hysteria and the result is what Motiv fans have been waiting for. Transition ball for the Venom Shock. Clean but can still handle misses in the oil and response to friction as expected.
    When Evoke Hysteria is a bit to much the Venom Hysteria is the go to ball.
