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!

    The Perfect Blend Between Shock / Fatal

    I absolutely LOVE this ball! I have shot my highest scores using the Venom Shock and the Fatal Venom and this ball just makes the perfect 3 headed trio!
    It's the perfect blend between the Venom Shock and the Fatal Venom! And it's so versatile to play from just about any angle!

    10/10 Ball

    The Blue Coral Venom is the next best ball in the Venom lineup by far! If you liked the Venom Recoil, you will LOVE this ball! This ball is a cleaner version of that ball and much sharper downlane and goes through the pins like butter. This ball is an absolute monster of a ball and would be a great 1-2 punch with the Venom Shock!

    Great addition

    The Blue Coral Venom is a great compliment to the Venom Shock. When the shock is reading a little too early, I pull out the Blue Coral Venom and gives me the extra length I need without compromising action or strength through the pins.

    Another amazing Venom

    I drilled up my Blue Coral with the same layout as my Pride (60x5x30) and was immediately blown away with the results! The Blue Coral definitely gets down the lane nicely but provides a nice shape off the friction! This ball is definitely a benchmark type ball for me, in between my Pride and Venom Shock. If you're looking for a ball that's very versatile, especially on your THS, then this is the ball for you!

    Blue Coral Venom Review

    Layout - 50 x 5 x 40
    Test Pattern - 42' THS
    The Blue Coral Venom is something I’ve anticipated for quite a while. While being a huge fan of the Venom line, this is something I know I’m going to be throwing a lot in the future. I first threw the Blue Coral with a pair of Venom Shocks. This combination makes me feel unbeatable. The Blue Coral showed me how controllable it is going down the lane, but producing a shape that isn’t too slow or too strong. With the Hybrid cover, the range of shapes that this can create is going to be well-utilized as it also gives me that benchmark-type feel as well. At the same time, I feel I can get my hands in this late in any block as well.
    With this still being early in the year, the releases haven’t been nothing short of amazing. The Blue Coral Venom will be one of the pieces that I will be drilling multiples of. The asym core and the hybrid cover, I just feel there will be an insane amount of layouts that can be used on this and produce the results that are wanted. You will want more than one!!
