The Blue Coral Venom™ is the first ever hybrid asymmetric found in the 10-year history of the Venom™ line. The latest stage of evolution in the wildly successful Venom™ line, the Blue Coral Venom™ focuses on versatility and benchmark reaction for moderately high friction surfaces. An upgrade to the Venom™ Recoil, the Blue Coral Venom™ provides more traction in the oil with a stronger and more continuous down lane motion.

With the Coercion™ MFH Reactive cover, the Motiv Blue Coral Venom™ provides plenty of length through the front of the lane, while picking up in the middle of the lane with a smooth and controllable transition. This hybrid cover is remarkable thanks to its ability to provide traction in the oil, without sacrificing control down lane. This performance provides the strength and incredible versatility that the Venom™ line is known for. 

Versatility is also what makes the Gear™ APG core special.  Its low differential and asymmetry allow the Blue Coral Venom™ bowling ball to attack the pins from shallower angles using a more aggressive cover stock.  Originally deployed because weight holes were being eliminated, the slight asymmetry of this core gives ball drillers more options than a typical symmetric design.  

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers: For speed dominant bowlers, this will be a medium dry lane ball for use at shallow angles.  While many balls for medium-dry to dry lanes tend to skip past the break point for speed dominant bowlers, the high performance coverstock on the Blue Coral Venom™ will have no trouble gripping the lane.  Additionally, the Gear™ APG core allows players who like to play straighter to do so with more ease.  This should be a great ball for speed dominant players to play more direct on fairly dry lanes.
     
  • Balanced Bowlers:  Bowlers with speed and rev rate that match will find many uses for the Blue Coral Venom™, due to the versatility it offers.  This Venom™ has more traction in the oil than any before it.  The Blue Coral Venom™ has more traction in oil than the Venom™ Shock, and offers much more control than the Fatal Venom™.  Balanced bowlers will be able to use the Blue Coral Venom™ from a variety of angles on medium to medium-dry lanes when other Venoms™ can’t dig in the oil, but other high performance balls are just too strong.
     
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers:  For rev dominant bowlers the Blue Coral Venom™ is a perfect benchmark ball.  Due to lower speed or higher rev rates, players of this classification often need to “ball down” from what balanced or speed dominant bowlers would use.  While the Blue Coral Venom™ is classified as a medium-dry oil ball, for those who are rev dominant it is a benchmark that offers moderately clean and controllable ball motion.

Here at Motiv Bowling, we want you to excel when you step out on the lane, and there’s no better way to do that than by using one of our high-quality, high-performance bowling balls. Whether you’re just starting out or have been a bowling pro for years, we’re sure to have something that’s right for you and your skill level!

    Great advancement to game

    I was a little sketchy trying out a new ball. I had a Columbia 300 Freeze 15 lb. throwing a fingertip ball. I have never used a Motiv product before. So I thought I would take a risk and I got the Blue Coral Venom, drilled fingertip, 16 lb. 1st game I almost shot a 200. Each game after pretty close to that. I'm about a 170 average guy. I gotta say, I am very well pleased right now. The ball is smooth, great looking design, looks great down the lane and has a good hook at the end. I don't throw a really strong hook but the weight block has just about the right pull to hit the pocket. It is not a severe hooking ball, so it's perfect for me. The reactive resin gives great pin action even throwing it like 13 mph. I will admit I have a little adjusting to do to perfect my strike ball and my spare pickups, but I really hope to hang on to this one for a while. The Motiv company has made me a believer so far, I appreciate them making a fine ball. I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their game whether amateur or pro. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Great Ball, Always In My Bag

    This ball was the first one I bought after testing out my brothers Venom. I fell in love with Motiv at that point and bought this ball the next day. Excellent intro into the Motiv family!

    Ultra Smooth, Ultra Predictable, Ultra Cool

    This is my first Motiv ball after a longgg time of thinking about trying Motiv out. Got this ball impulsively one day from my local pro shop. I had always had an eye on the Venom Shock, but this one looks a little bit cooler (in my opinion) and was supposed to have a bit of a cleaner coverstock so I jumped on this one. I had it drilled for more a continuous motion down lane and was not disappointed when I tried it out. This is now my favorite ball of all time. Looks super cool going down lane and, with the way I have it drilled, is super controllable and predictable. This is my first ball (out of about 15 others) that will do what I want every time lol. I think I am now forever on #TeamMotiv ?

    My First Motiv Bowling Ball

    For injury reasons I had to move down in ball weight. So since i had to purchase new equipment I decided to try a Motiv Bowling Ball. I have never thrown a Motiv bowling ball before. I thought Motiv bowling balls would be to much for me to control because of my low ball speed and rev rate, I was wrong. The Coral Venom is a awesome bowling ball and I can not believe how good this ball is. The things I like about it is that it does not over hook, it reads the lanes extremely well especially in the mids. Since having this ball my game has improved extremely and I have shot over 700 two weeks in a row. I have added the other Venom balls to my arsenal. I am now bowling only with Motiv equipment because their bowling balls fit my bowling game. Thankyou
