LIMITED EDITION RELEASE!

The Venom Shock – a name synonymous with the prowess of EJ Tackett, a titan of the bowling world. And what better way to honor his legendary 2023 Player of the Year season than with a ball bearing his name? Enter the Venom ExJ, a powerhouse of a ball is poised to dominate the lanes like never before, delivering unmatched strength and control when it matters most!

The original Venom Shock's Turmoil coverstock remains a timeless choice for those medium-dry lanes, but there are times when you need to kick it up a notch on fresher or slicker surfaces.  Enter the Turmoil MXC Solid Reactive coverstock, harnessing technology from the Evoke and Forge Flare but on a more subdued cover base. With the Duramax additive sealing the deal, the Venom ExJ promises to seamlessly integrate into your lineup, offering a significant upgrade from the Venom Shock or standing tall as your benchmark ball.

The Gear Core has long been the gold standard for low rg / low differential cores. Its versatility and unwavering performance set it leagues apart from its counterparts. Now, with the Venom ExJ, we're taking the same core that powered the Venom Shock and Hyper Venom and pairing it with a significantly stronger coverstock.  Bowlers can now confidently wield Venoms in even more situations, unleashing their full potential on the lanes.

Prepare to unleash the full force of EJ Tackett's legacy with the Venom ExJ. It's time to step onto the lanes and rewrite the history books!

When to use

Speed Dominant:  Bowlers with a great deal of speed relative to their rev rate will find the Venom ExJ useful likely in the place where most balanced bowlers use the Venom Shock.  The earlier and smoother coverstock will allow speed dominant bowlers to throw a Venom when the Venom Shock would be too clean or weak. 

Balanced: For balanced bowlers the Venom ExJ is a benchmark ball, offering a smooth and controllable motion on medium-dry to medium-heavy conditions.  The greatest distinction between the Venom Shock and the ExJ Venom is that the ExJ is earlier and smoother, making it easier to use as a benchmark but less suited for creating steep angles. 

Rev Dominant: Crankers will use the Venom ExJ on heavier oil fresh patterns.  The traction in the oil along with the fast spinning and stable Gear core makes the Venom ExJ great for rev dominant players to use this one more than any previous Venom.

    Wow just Wow this is a beast

    This ball is a beast. I had this drilled to roll early and keep rolling. It does just that. I cant keep it near the head pin on drier house shots. I manly planned this for tournaments. It rolled really well for me at Nationals all thought I did not throw it well. lol Love this ball. It is a monster grabs and keeps grabbing thru the back of the pin deck.

    I love this ball!

    In mid-June of this year, I upgraded to this ball and very pleased that I made the change from the Motiv Venom Shock. I wanted more hook potential and drive through the pins and this has come through consistently every week. After using the new ball in a Summer league, I had a 553 series, with a 229. Since 8/26/24 in a Winter Ladies league, I started with a 141 average and three 500 series games. On 10/28/24, I bowled a 210, 246, 151 leaving me with a 607 series. My first 600 series game and my average shot up to 163! I love this ball, It has given me more confidence in using the ball and knowing when to adjust to the lane conditions.

    very consistent

    This ball is one of the best balls I have ever used. Smooth but strong. It has already paid for its shelf with the first tournament.

    Great for medium to dry, short patterns, and also my spare ball.

    I love this ball. Beyond the amazing looks of it, this ball comes out of the bag for me when the lanes get scorched and on short patterns. Surprisingly, I also use it as my spare ball. This allows me to get more use out of it and it allows me to save space with a dual purpose ball rather than a dedicated spare ball. I only use Motiv gear and I don't see that changing. You can't go wrong with Motiv!
