The most sought after crossover in MOTIV® history is here with the introduction of the Primal™ Shock! Combining two of MOTIV®’s greatest releases, the Primal Rage and Venom Shock, the Primal Shock bowling ball takes the best of both balls to create something truly special. Turmoil MFS cover technology from the Venom Shock and the Impulse V2 core from the Primal Rage combine to provide strong mid-lane traction with plenty of angle down lane. Motiv’s Primal Shock dominates medium to heavy oil conditions, offering a vast array of options to attack the lanes. This is a can’t miss combination that bowlers have been asking for since 2013!

Turmoil MFS technology has been a benchmark for MOTIV, providing moderate mid-lane traction with plenty of down lane motion. Featured in the longest running MOTIV ball of all time, the Venom Shock, this cover perfectly balances control and aggression. This is the pinnacle of benchmark ball motion.

The Primal Shock takes the ultimate benchmark ball motion found in the Venom Shock and amps up performance by pairing it with the strong Impulse V2 core found in the Primal Rage. This core creates incredibly strong down-lane motion and marks a significant upgrade in overall core strength from the Gear core found in the Venom Shock. When paired with the Turmoil MFS cover, the result is a medium-heavy and moderately angular monster that is a must have in every bag.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - Many speed dominant bowlers are unable to use balls with differentials as low as the Venom Shock. A more dynamic core allows these bowlers to use the same cover stock, but with a motion that suits them. The Primal Shock will be a moderately angular complement to a speed dominant bowler’s benchmark ball. This will be an outstanding first transition ball for bowlers with excessive speed or lower rev rates.
  • Balanced Bowlers - The Venom Shock is a balanced bowler’s dream. It’s been the benchmark ball for those bowlers for years now and will continue to be. Over the years, many balanced bowlers have said that they’d like a more angular Venom Shock and one that could create more down lane motion. The Primal Shock is that ball.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - The highest rev rate and lowest speed bowlers will use the Primal Shock on fresh oil and high volume patterns when they need to create some angle. Before the rev dominant players can get all the way into the angular pearls, a Primal Shock will allow for easy mid-lane read and moderate angle to start opening up their angles on transitioning lanes.

Whether you’re a bowler who’s more interested in speed, rev, or a balance between the two, Motiv Bowling is here to take care of you the next time you head to the lanes. Whether you just want to have a good time or want to dominate the entire bowling alley, Motiv Bowling is here to help!

    This ball is relentless!

    I love the motion this ball has. I drilled mine 45x4.5x45 and it's a perfect benchmark ball.

    First ball out of the bag

    Love this ball. It’s the first out of my bag. Not too strong, but if I miss outside it will come back strong. Daughter and grandson now have one too.

    Great Ball - nice finish in the pocket

    I have had this ball since release and have used it as my primary ball. It has a nice delivery and finish in the pocket - it has improved my average by at least 20 pins.

    Changing the surface is all it took.

    When I first got this ball I tried throwing it in a few leagues and I wasn't truly impressed. Then I remembered watching some YouTube videos and everyone insists on altering the surface. So I left it at Out Of Box finish and touched it up with polish. It's the first ball out of my bag and the ball I go back to when I get lost or don't have a good look with a different Motiv ball.
    I recently just had a second carpal tunnel surgery and my strength and flexibility is still not as good as it can be. With that being said my speed is all over the place this ball is money no matter if I get slow with my speed , hit my average speed, or if I get lucky and get some extra speed it drives through the pins and comes off the spot as consistently as any other Motiv ball I've ever thrown. That's saying a lot since I've been only throwing Motiv balls since 2013.
