Fatal Venom

Item Number: MTVBVMFTL

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.

    Ball of the Year

    Motiv saved the best for last. Forget that it’s one of the best looking balls on the market, this ball delivered performance. It is a true pearl version of the Shock. Bringing back the Gear core and utilizing the infusion cover is a dream. It’s not a skid flip kind of pearl. It clears the fronts with ease and has a predictable smooth shape similar to the Shock. A great complimentary piece. It reads the lane earlier then the Supra and they are different enough it’s worth having both in your bag. The Fatal Venom is stronger and provides more hooks then the Venom Shock Pearl so it is a perfect upgrade if you’re looking to replace the VSP. This ball has solidified a spot in my bag for the long haul.

    Lives up to the hype!

    I could not wait to get my hands on this ball. The Gear core with the Infusion Pearl Reactive cover was something I was eagerly anticipating and this ball did not disappoint. This ball is a nice step down from the Venom Shock as it is cleaner and more angular downlane. The Gear core revs hard in the midlane so when the lanes transition, I can stand left, throw it right and feel confident that the ball will make it back to the pocket.

    I drilled two Fatal's so far. Pin up (above the ring finger) and pin down (below the bridge). With the pin up, I am about 4 boards inside of the pin down as it is cleaner and more angular down lane. The pin down starts earlier and rolls more forward.

    Another amazing Venom

    I drilled my Fatal the same way as my Venom Shock (4 1/4x70) and they compliment each other quite well. When my Shock runs out of energy and doesn't corner as well, I pull out my Fatal Venom. The ball gets through the fronts nicely with a nice smooth motion on the backend. Not only is it a stunning looking bowling ball, it's REALLY good. Some nights I use it all 3 games in league and it does not quit. Very predictable motion. Absolutely recommend this ball!

    Venom Fatal--833--300

    I've been looking at this ball since it was announced for release. I've seen the Venom line roll for sometime now and seen a lot of success with this ball by other bowlers. I talked to my local Motiv staff member Stephen Haas about it. He gave me so much information about the ball that I decided to buy it. First night with the ball I shoot 265-279-289 for 833. Second night I rolled the ball i shoot 213-300-258--771. This ball is a great addition to anyone's bag. Plus the colors on this ball are outstanding.

    Fatal Venom

    The layout I used on my Fatal Venom was 60x5x30. I have thrown this ball a ton since it arrived in the mail. When the lanes hook this ball is in play! I can throw this ball on a range of pattern lengths, sport/house shots. When comparing this ball to others in the line, for me, it provides the same amount of hook as the Venom Shock, however it is a little longer and quicker off the friction. Comparing to the Supra, the Fatal Venom is earlier than the Supra and it is also more ball overall. I have had a lot of people asking what the difference is to the Venom Shock Pearl. From what I have gathered, the Fatal Venom is about 3-4 boards stronger and provides a sharper, more angular response. I would suggest having one of these in your bag, especially when the lanes are going through transition. Also, the color combo is nice too!
