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!

    This ball has personally become my new favorite Motiv piece I have and is 9/10 times the ball I start with as its versatility allows me to throw it just about anywhere I want! Love it

    Love this ball

    I just got this ball a couple weeks ago and I love it. I love how it hooks and it glides down the lanes. I am still figuring it out but I already raised my average. I'm very happy with my purchase

    My opinion says: The Primal Shock is an opening ball for me

    As I wrote in my heading, I’ve had the Primal since it was first released and it has been very reliable in different oil patterns. The only concern I have is the cover which has many gouges but I’m still able to control the break to the pocket.
    I have the 3 Ball Bag for Motiv (Great Products)

    The Primal Shock is easily the best ball in my arsenal. She reads early and produces a beautiful shape on your typical house shot. She's versatile and can play anywhere on the lane really. Don't be surprised if she's the only ball you need for a standard 3-game set.
    I found after testing multiple surfaces, that 2000 is money for me. I knew early on I would have to have at least a couple of these and now do. Together they've proven to be an excellent 1-2 punch.
    This is one ball I think anyone can buy without a 2nd thought or regret.....It's just that good.
    It's like the Venom Shock on steroids, and I'll be surprised if any ball will ever be able to bump this one out of the bag.

    Primal Shock

    This was my first Motiv piece. It will not be my last. The Primal Shock is both clean and strong. And once it starts making its move, it just doesn't stop. I touched it with a 2000 pad today and can't wait to see what that little extra bite does. This ball checks all my marks.
