Fatal Venom

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.

    Fatal Venom

    Let’s talk about the Motiv “Fatal Venom”. This ball is super clean thru the front part of the lane, with a snake bit at the end. The best part about it - it’s controllable! This ball is a must have, whether you play up the boards or like to see a little angle down lane. (This is the one) I recently bowled a tournament with this ball and averaged 244 to take 2nd place. Awesome right!! Order yours today!!

    Fatal Venom

    Fatal Venom, the latest Venom ball by Motiv featuring the Gear core combined with the Infusion Pearl cover provides a clean motion through the fronts and mid lane and fast motion in the back. For me, the Fatal Venom is the best compliment to the Venom Shock which has by far been my favorite ball ever. The Venom line has been the most versatile line of balls for me and the Fatal Venom will fit in the bag nicely right next to my Shock.

    Fatal Venom

    This new Venom compliments my game so well. As soon as I start to see any transition down lane, I can go to this ball and stay in the pocket. This ball is very smooth and has great continuation thru the pins.

    New contender for the Crown

    The latest instalment in the venom series is an eye-catching masterpiece. It features the newest version of the Infusion cover stock with pearl additive. The OG Shock has been the most successful Motiv ball ever produced, so putting the Venom logo on a ball means something. The Fatal Venom definitely lives up to the name and more, by producing a fast-spinning core with a clean and responsive cover that makes for a special ball. The ball comes with a super gloss surface which is a little too clean for my liking but when lightly sanded the ball comes to life. I drilled two, the pin down allows me to keep my angles in front of me while the pin up lets me open up the lane either way it’s a must have.

    Fatal Venom

    This ball gives me a different kind of movement I have never seen before in a pearl. More length than the Venom Shock but hits just as hard. Very controllable back end without compromising performance. Since drilling this ball, I've shot 2 300s, a 299, and an 805 series with it.
