Venom Cobra

4.9Read Reviews

Strike back with the new Venom Cobra.  This new breed of Venom features the new Top Gear dual-density weight block and new Sabotage Hybrid Reactive cover combination that is absolutely devastating. Created for light to medium oil, it provides more length than the Venom Shock and a faster response to friction.

At the heart of the Venom Cobra is the new Top Gear dual-density weight block.  While the RG and differential are similar to the original Gear core, the dual-density configuration amplifies other variables of ball motion that, while not easily measured, are clearly demonstrated on the lane.

    About Me Studying Short Patterns

    Cobra Meets Viper.

    Now the night I drilled this up there was a worn in house shot. the layout of choice was 60 x 3 3/4 x 30. basically the pin is up and out to the right. and the cg is located just right of center of span.
    So on the house shot that was a day old and carried down. the ball kept a straight trajectory down the whole lane. With a slight arc in the back. It's not too strong for a house shot but given the layout and the intentions i have this ball is not strong enough for longer patterns that carry down.
    Now on viper, that is a different story, the lack of hook on the above mentioned was a distant memory. the ball had plenty of recovery and little to no deflection through the pins. I started with my target path between 7-8-9 board at the arrows, and kissing the one board at the end of the pattern. When the lanes carried down, I simply moved 2-3 boards right and kept the target the same in the back of the pattern. My margin of error was pretty decent and comfortable. This ball is exactly what I needed for what I have planned in the future.
    Remember on the short patterns and drier lanes this ball is the perfect match for them. Longer patterns not so much. Don't forget to get you PAP, Rotation and Tilt mapped out cause you can only drill a new ball once, and as always good luck and good bowling.

    Venom Cobra

    What an awesome ball! I will can use this ball out of bag on a house shot or on game 3/4 of a breaking down sport shot. This ball has a great predictable shape whether it is polished or lightly sanded. When this ball hits the pocket it strikes, even if it is a mixer.

    Great ball as first out of bag or when the lanes break down, very versatile.

    Venom Cobra

    Good light to medium oil ball, nice angular ball motion that I can really hit at the bottom of my swing and it will not overreact. Not the first ball I usually grab out of my bag, but it’s great when the lanes start to break down.
