Fatal Venom

$174.99
4.9Read 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.

    Fatal Venom

    Solid ball. It’s consistent for me. Doesn’t over hook. It’s great in late game after the oil is burnt up.

    Fatal Venom

    This is my first Motiv ball I ever had and it was the best choice I ever made! This ball is the first time I took straight out of the box and shot a mid 600 series with then followed it up with 5-700 series in a month and half. It’s my go to ball when I’m struggling! Highly recommend it!

    Everything you need in a pearl

    The Fatal was my first Motiv ball. Right out of the box I loved it. Plenty of length and great finish. I can play up the boards with it or stay inside with a little tighter line. The ball motion really reminds me of when I was as younger. I have added a Venom Shock and Supra Enzo to my bag over the last year and I couldn't be happier. The Fatal is my go to when things begin to transition or the Shock is just a little too much. It's such an easy ball down for me. Oh yeah and did I mention green is my favorite color and how awesome it looks going down the lane and ripping racks. Trust me this ball fits in your bag somewhere.
