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!

    I just picked up bowling again after 15 years and figured that I would invest in a good bowling ball since I am really starting to enjoy this sport again. After doing my research it seemed like the Blue Coral Venom would definitely fit my bowling style. After upgrading from an Ebonite Magnum ball that I have had for a very long time and I'm sure this ball it's not meant to be curved. This Blue Coral Venom definitely made it huge impact the first game I played with it. By the fifth game I bowled a 263. I was completely shocked on our much my score has changed from the old ball to this new one.

    One of the more underrated balls

    I got the Coral Venom for my second Motiv ball purchase and it’s a ball that is slept on for sure. I love how it is very smooth and reads the middle part of the lane very well. It’s definitely my benchmark ball and it’s super versatile for me.

    First Motiv Ball

    This is my 1st Motiv ball I have bought. I have been bowling great with it. I bowled 289 with it on my second week in league play. Great on the back ends.

    A House Shot Gem!

    In my opinion we’ve never had a bad Venom ball, they’re always so versatile and can generally play on any condition so long as your feet are in the right spot. The Blue Coral Venom is more of the same great lineage. Most of the Motiv Nation loves their Venom Shocks but for my rev dominate game it can be way too much for a general house shot, either too fast to friction on fresh or flat off the spot in transition. The Blue Coral offers me a cleaner version of the Shock that is MUCH more versatile in the dry spots on our local house shots. The Shock will see friction sooner and just as fast. The Motion of the Coral just gets a little further down-lane with the same motion.

    The layout I chose for this piece was 70x4.5x40 (4.5x5.5x2.5 VLS) in an attempt to create more flare downlane while being straighter through the heads. I was first conflicted with drilling an asymmetrical ball with a weaker cover in comparison to the Shock having a weaker core but stronger cover, hence using the asymmetry for downlane motion instead of early flare. The box finish was rather course and a little tumbly but after a few sets and some lane shine the reaction settles down. I would still recommend hitting the shell with a used 4000 abralon or P5000D CTD pad after a set or two.

    All in all, I feel many bowlers will love the cover on this ball. It’s far from snappy and offers tons of control. It can blend misses with the hand or lane to a degree better than a pearl while still reading enough in oil to avoid hydroplaning through the breakpoint. This one is going in my main bag next to my Carbide Tank and Venom Shock Pearl, bumping out the Shock!
