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!

    My first ever Venom and I’m in LOVE! This ball has become my benchmark! I really want to add another Venom to my arsenal to compliment this piece! I love this ball so much I had no problem buying it for my dad as a Father’s Day present!

    I used a 5”x4”x3.5” 2LS layout on it. The ball was a little jumpy out of the box but was easily smoothed out with a light sanding with a 1000 grit TruCut pad. After that the ball really impressed me. The hybrid cover makes it cleaner than my Shock and the asymmetrical core allows it to turn the corner when my Shock wants to quit. It reads the mid lane beautifully without being too aggressive. I’ve used it on a few different sport patterns and I wish I would’ve had it for Nationals. I got a chance to use it on the 2021 Team pattern and it matched up perfectly. Motiv really did an amazing job on the Blue Coral Venom. It’s a special ball that I believe will be around for a long time. This ball has 300 written all over it.

    As advertised

    It took me a couple of weeks to get the Blue Coral Venom. I do not buy everything that comes out of Motiv but have bought several of the last releases. This one comes as marketed by the Vice President. I bowl on a high friction house which uses high friction oil and I can tell you that this ball reacts like it is supposed to. Not too jumpy and hits like a ton of bricks. On my last two pieces I have tried Nick Pahr's 55x5 1/2x35 layout and that layout is killing it on both my Mythic and this ball. I will be truly honest my first Venom the Venom Strike left me not liking the series but purchasing the shock and now this ball I have found the balls are quite excellent. If you need something to compliment your heavier equipment get this ball and get it drilled the same the cover stock core combination will allow you to stay in roughly the same area that your heavier equipment does on the fresh when the lanes breakdown. Get this ball quick.
