At the heart of the Hyper Venom lies the Gear core, a reliable juggernaut. The Gear core is a proven force in the world of bowling. Featuring a low RG / low Differential, this fast spinning, low flaring core promises stability in the mid-lane without the risk of burning up due to excessive flare.
Well over 10 years later and Turmoil™ MFS (Medium Friction Solid) Reactive is still the ultimate benchmark cover. Clean through the fronts, a strong midlane read, and incredible drive through the pins. It creates the perfect motion for a light-medium oil benchmark bowling ball. Paired with the Gear core, and you will find a benchmark bowling ball that needs to be in every single arsenal.
Bowlers with higher speeds or moderate speed paired with lower rev rates, the Venom Shock is a great option for control in higher friction environments. Late in league nights or on low volume patterns, the Venom Shock shines for speed dominant bowlers.
For the balanced bowler the Venom Shock is an absolute must have in the middle of their arsenal. Balanced bowlers will find that the versatility of the shock allows it to be used in many different volumes and lengths of oil from dry lanes to moderately high volumes of oil. An added bonus for bowlers who love the Venom Shock is how well it responds to surface changes.
Those with revs to spare can use the Venom Shock in many volumes of oil and see outstanding down lane continuation for a ball that is conventionally thought of as a control ball. A shiny Venom Shock is a staple in the bag of many PBA Touring players who want to create some angle without sacrificing control in later transition.
I picked up this ball about a year and a half ago and let me tell you this ball lives up to the name. This ball goes to every tournament. It i shot a handful of 299 in league before getting 300.

By far the best ball Motiv ever produced. Till this day this ball will do exactly what you want it to do. I have had the same one for over 5 years and just brought it back to box. The ball reacted like it did when I first bought it!

The Motiv Venom Shock is the definition of "reliable." After years of dealing with equipment that can be touchy or unpredictable, this ball is a breath of fresh air because it does exactly what I tell it to do. It offers a smooth, controllable motion that reads the mid-lane beautifully without any of those erratic "jumpy" reactions off the friction. It’s a true benchmark piece—honest, consistent, and built to handle whatever the lane throws at you.
What really sets the Shock apart is its incredible versatility across the house. I can play it from virtually every mark on the lane; it’s just as comfortable grinding up the boards as it is swinging it from deep inside. Because the shape is so predictable, making adjustments is easy rather than a guessing game. If you’re looking for a ball that stays in its lane and performs under pressure, this is the most dependable tool you can put in your bag.

This has been one of my all time favorites currently has my high game of 247. Break this baby out after game one when your line starts to breakdown and this will carry you through the last two games with ease.
