Fatal Venom

Item Number: MTVBVMFTL

$174.99112 Read Reviews

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.

    Controlled Motion. Backend Pop.

    The Fatal Venom is exactly what MOTIV needed in their line up.

    To sum this ball up, it’s like MOTIV took a Venom Shock and mashed it together with a Supra. You get the controlled reaction and continuation of the Venom Shock with the easy clearing of the heads and back end pop of the Supra. This Infusion pearl coverstock pairs extremely well with the Gear core.

    This is one of those balls any tournament or league bowler is going to have in their bag almost every single day.

    Don’t pass it up.

    Follow up to initial review

    I wrote my 1st review of the Fatal Venom after using it on one league. 2 days later I used it on another league in another center and bowled a 549 series. My normal average there is 154. ..definitely not disappointed at all, and as I said before, Motiv will be my go to for bowling needs from this point on...

    Strengths
    Venom Fatal Infusion pearl coverstock is more angular to that of Microcell Polymer, and it provides more overall hook than both Thrill and Supra. Bigger rev rates like myself enjoy using Fatal Venom on fresh medium and short patterns.

    Venom Fatal sets up earlier than Supra and provides you with more of a arc roll motion instead of an immediate turn at the breakpoint.
    Venom Fatal is very clean throughout the lane, In terms of length Supra, Thrill, and Jackal Flash have more than Venom Fatal.

    Weaknesses

    Venom Fatal out of box is long and its differential is low, keeping in mind that Venom Fatal will provide you with length on top of length you can either wait for the condition to tell you when to use it or add surface to it.

    Summary

    Fatal Venom is earlier and stronger than Supra which is what makes it a reliable option for when the patterns break down or for drier fresh conditions, what I also consider to be useful about Fatal Venom is the muscle it provides down lane. I typically use Fatal Venom once the more aggressive weaponry has carved up the pattern, what is not fatal to the Fatal is friction. I encourage you to give Venom Fatal a look, I promise it is worth your time.

    Your game will thank you for it.

    i am now officially " motivated"

    I will have to base my comparison of the Fatal Venom to my last purchase, the Jackal Flash. With that ball, my scores went consistently higher, and eventually led to my highest individual game and series, over a period of approximately one month.
    With the Fatal Venom, right out of the box, so to speak, and after making slight adjustments to my approach and speed ( i moved up to slow down a bit) , i bowled a 214, 179, and 213 for 606 series. My average is 170 (510) scratch. it was reported that the lanes were somewhat dry. i do know they had not been oiled between the leagues as they usually are. I do know that if i do my job correctly, the ball does it's job perfectly. Even when i didn't do my job correctly, the ball made up for it with good action through the pins.
    Also being a fan of the PBA, 2 of my favorite bowlers are EJ Tackett and Tom Smallwood. Having only used Motiv balls since November of 2020, I can say with certainty that Motiv will be my first choice for any future ball needs.
