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!

    Best Ever Made

    Right-handed/Two-handed
    16-17mph, 480-500 rev rate.
    PAP is 4 5/8" over and 2" up.

    I drilled my Primal Shock 50 x 4.5 x 45

    The long awaited, highly anticipated, and soon to be absolutely legendary Primal Shock. The perfect combination of the Venom Shock and Primal Rage. Two of Motiv's most successful bowling balls, and the combination so far is one of the most versatile pieces I have seen from Motiv. I usually don't drill up multiple of the same ball, but for this one, I feel like having a pair drilled slightly different would give me weapons I haven't had in the bag in a long time.

    I have always been a fan of the primal core and wrapping it up in the OG Venom Shock cover gives you something so controllable, so versatile, and just downright nasty on the lanes.

    You don't want to miss this one. It is going to go down as one of the best Motiv has ever made.

    Primal Shock is a match made in bowling heaven. You have GOAT cover stock (Turmoil MFS) from Venom Shock and one of my favorite cores the Impulse V2 from the Primal Rage. The Primal Shock is sharper down lane than the Venom, but it can handle more oil than the Primal Rage. Primal Shock still reads the mid-lane, but pushes through it to turn the corner at the end of the pattern. The Primal Shock is a stronger benchmark ball to see what the backend of the lane is doing. Primal Shock is a definite winner!!

    Combination of Motiv's Two Best! Primal Shock

    The new Primal Shock combines two of Motiv's most popular balls, the Primal Rage and Venom Shock. They took the Primal Rage's core, Impulse V2, and wrapped it with the Venom Shock's cover Turmoil MFS Solid Reactive! It has been said to me many times I wish I could get just a little more out of Venom, well this is it! This new ball has a higher RG and Diff, so you get more length and flare causing more shape down lane with the awesome cover of the Shock. This ball also looks great and strikes a ton. You will want one in your league & tournament bag!

    Primal Shock

    The next, best thing is here! The new MOTIV Primal Shock is the infusion everyone has been waiting for! With the use of the Turmoil MFS Solid cover seen on the GOAT of the Venom Shock, and the Impulse V2 core seen in the Primal Rage, the new Primal Shock combines the beloved reactions seen in these two pieces into one ball! Let me tell you, this was the perfect combination as this ball is very dangerous on the lanes! It gets down lane very well, and turns the corner hard! This ball will be perfect in league and when you're in need of help to get out of some trouble in league or at a tournament.

    Layout - 5x4x3 Vector layout (translates to 45x5x50 Dual Angle)
    PAP - 5 1/8 Over
    1 5/16 Up
