Fatal Venom

$174.99

The Fatal Venom™ provides a deadly combination of length with an angular strike on light-medium oil conditions.  It features the latest MOTIV® cover technology and the outstanding original Gear™ core from the Venom™ Shock.

The Gear™ core gives the Fatal Venom™ both low RG and low differential so it spins super-fast with minimal track flare.  The result is a stable ball motion with massive energy retention. 

Utilizing the latest Infusion™ Pearl Reactive cover, the Fatal Venom™ offers great length and angularity. These traction characteristics joined with the control of the Gear™ core provide a clean and moderately angular motion that is ideal for scoring on drier lanes. 

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant: For straighter angles on moderately dry lanes.  The Gear core and Infusion combo will allow the bowler to use the pearl to clear the front without sacrificing control down lane.
  • Balanced: A great dry lane benchmark piece.  If you know that there is not a lot of volume on the lane or the lane surface is higher friction, this will be a great first ball out of the bag.
  • Rev Dominant: When the most angular balls in the product line are too much down lane, the Fatal Venom will be the go-to option.

Tip: Check with your local pro shop for the best prices.

    Incredible

    This is my first Motiv bowling ball ever. I was totally shocked by the motion of this ball. It says for light - medium oil but I was able to use it for all 3 games of league. The ball got better and better as the lanes dry but the fresh was not a problem either.

    Great for low to medium oil

    I got to try this out at a Test Drive event last week at Wildfire Lanes in Las Vegas. Shoutout to Diante, Luis, Jamison, and the rest of the staffers there. It was a fun experience and this ball fit my game best. I played a pretty smooth straight shot and had good control of it. It never got away from me and was even a little forgiving when I went too far left. I liked it so much that I bought one after the test drive and now have to get another ball to join this one and the Purple Tank, so that I can fill my new Motiv Tournament bag.

    Great Ball for transition and those drier than they should be houses!

    Tried this ball at a Motiv Test Drive event and was sold almost immediately. This ball is perfect for when the lanes break down. It gets through the first part of the lane clean and then delivers some great motion down lane. And then don't even get me started on the pin action! I sent pins flying in ways I haven't done in years. Great job on this ball and am excited to have it in my arsenal.

    Great Ball for later in the blocks

    This gave me exactly what I was looking for in the later games of blocks. Drilled 5.75 pin to pap just above middle finger. This ball allows me to square up in late game blocks and control the pocket when they get tough.

    Unreal

    This ball had a reaction down lane that was totally unexpected. Wham. Fast left angular hook smacking the pocket. I didn’t think this ball would have such a reactive cover. I love it. I was able to use this ball after the first game of league with just a small amount of breakdown.
    Drilled it 50x4x35.
