The most sought after crossover in MOTIV® history is here with the introduction of the Primal™ Shock! Combining two of MOTIV®’s greatest releases, the Primal Rage and Venom Shock, the Primal Shock bowling ball takes the best of both balls to create something truly special. Turmoil MFS cover technology from the Venom Shock and the Impulse V2 core from the Primal Rage combine to provide strong mid-lane traction with plenty of angle down lane. Motiv’s Primal Shock dominates medium to heavy oil conditions, offering a vast array of options to attack the lanes. This is a can’t miss combination that bowlers have been asking for since 2013!

Turmoil MFS technology has been a benchmark for MOTIV, providing moderate mid-lane traction with plenty of down lane motion. Featured in the longest running MOTIV ball of all time, the Venom Shock, this cover perfectly balances control and aggression. This is the pinnacle of benchmark ball motion.

The Primal Shock takes the ultimate benchmark ball motion found in the Venom Shock and amps up performance by pairing it with the strong Impulse V2 core found in the Primal Rage. This core creates incredibly strong down-lane motion and marks a significant upgrade in overall core strength from the Gear core found in the Venom Shock. When paired with the Turmoil MFS cover, the result is a medium-heavy and moderately angular monster that is a must have in every bag.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - Many speed dominant bowlers are unable to use balls with differentials as low as the Venom Shock. A more dynamic core allows these bowlers to use the same cover stock, but with a motion that suits them. The Primal Shock will be a moderately angular complement to a speed dominant bowler’s benchmark ball. This will be an outstanding first transition ball for bowlers with excessive speed or lower rev rates.
  • Balanced Bowlers - The Venom Shock is a balanced bowler’s dream. It’s been the benchmark ball for those bowlers for years now and will continue to be. Over the years, many balanced bowlers have said that they’d like a more angular Venom Shock and one that could create more down lane motion. The Primal Shock is that ball.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - The highest rev rate and lowest speed bowlers will use the Primal Shock on fresh oil and high volume patterns when they need to create some angle. Before the rev dominant players can get all the way into the angular pearls, a Primal Shock will allow for easy mid-lane read and moderate angle to start opening up their angles on transitioning lanes.

Whether you’re a bowler who’s more interested in speed, rev, or a balance between the two, Motiv Bowling is here to take care of you the next time you head to the lanes. Whether you just want to have a good time or want to dominate the entire bowling alley, Motiv Bowling is here to help!

    Primal Shock

    I really enjoy watching this ball down lane! I throw low revs, low speed. I've never been able to move left much because I couldn't get the ball to turn the corner enough to get back to the pocket. I am starting a full zone left of where I usually start and as the transition hits, it's no problem to go a few boards more left. I love the way this ball turns when it hits the friction. This ball has found a "forever home" in my bag! Motiv, you've hit a home run with this one!

    Venom shock on steroids

    I got this rock punched out on Friday and tried it out in league, I had to put it away for it was way too strong for the pair I was on. I went home and hit it with the Motiv power gel shine 5500 polish. All I can say is wowzer, Shot a quick 643 set along with my Forge Fire and Revolt LE.Game 1 I used mainly the Primal Shock and popped 243, should have been 260's but sent it a little wide testing the out of bounds and left big four otherwise I was splitting the 8/9 like no tomorrow. The surface takes very well to polish and can be scuffed to whatever you desire. Thank you Motiv for another great product. Now I am waiting on my Black Venom to show up and throw another fantastic ball!!!

    New favorite ball!

    I've been throwing Motiv balls for about 5 years now and I couldn't be happier with every single one I've had. The Primal Shock, however, blew my mind! I can not put this ball down! I can play anywhere on the lane because of how well it responds to not only the lane, but also my hand positioning. It does exactly what you tell it to! Got me to my first 800 series the other night with 812! Everyone needs this ball.

    PRIME TIME SHOCK!

    Shot 256 1st game out of the box! I did not think I needed this ball in my bag, I knew I NEEDED it! It did not disappoint! Threw it the 3rd game in my set, what was I waiting for? Very forgiving on errant shots both outside and inside my mark.

    Must have in my bag!

    This ball is as advertised, easy through the heads with a string backend. Extremely surprised at how versatile this ball is.
