LIMITED EDITION RELEASE!

The Venom Shock – a name synonymous with the prowess of EJ Tackett, a titan of the bowling world. And what better way to honor his legendary 2023 Player of the Year season than with a ball bearing his name? Enter the Venom ExJ, a powerhouse of a ball is poised to dominate the lanes like never before, delivering unmatched strength and control when it matters most!

The original Venom Shock's Turmoil coverstock remains a timeless choice for those medium-dry lanes, but there are times when you need to kick it up a notch on fresher or slicker surfaces.  Enter the Turmoil MXC Solid Reactive coverstock, harnessing technology from the Evoke and Forge Flare but on a more subdued cover base. With the Duramax additive sealing the deal, the Venom ExJ promises to seamlessly integrate into your lineup, offering a significant upgrade from the Venom Shock or standing tall as your benchmark ball.

The Gear Core has long been the gold standard for low rg / low differential cores. Its versatility and unwavering performance set it leagues apart from its counterparts. Now, with the Venom ExJ, we're taking the same core that powered the Venom Shock and Hyper Venom and pairing it with a significantly stronger coverstock.  Bowlers can now confidently wield Venoms in even more situations, unleashing their full potential on the lanes.

Prepare to unleash the full force of EJ Tackett's legacy with the Venom ExJ. It's time to step onto the lanes and rewrite the history books!

When to use

Speed Dominant:  Bowlers with a great deal of speed relative to their rev rate will find the Venom ExJ useful likely in the place where most balanced bowlers use the Venom Shock.  The earlier and smoother coverstock will allow speed dominant bowlers to throw a Venom when the Venom Shock would be too clean or weak. 

Balanced: For balanced bowlers the Venom ExJ is a benchmark ball, offering a smooth and controllable motion on medium-dry to medium-heavy conditions.  The greatest distinction between the Venom Shock and the ExJ Venom is that the ExJ is earlier and smoother, making it easier to use as a benchmark but less suited for creating steep angles. 

Rev Dominant: Crankers will use the Venom ExJ on heavier oil fresh patterns.  The traction in the oil along with the fast spinning and stable Gear core makes the Venom ExJ great for rev dominant players to use this one more than any previous Venom.

    Wonderful Ball

    Before picking up the ExJ Venom I was throwing a Black Widow 3.0 and now that I've started throwing this ball I leave the hammer in the bag. One of the best balls I've owed and one I'll be throwing for awhile.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    This is what I've been missing

    This is exactly what I was hoping for. I love my Black Venom and Venom Shock. But I found for my style I needed something with a motion a little earlier and rounder. Enter the EXJ Venom. This is a Venom Shock that hit the gym hard. It picks up very well on the midlane and still has enough left for a pop on the back end. I love this ball. 50x5x30

    A True Winning Combination

    The brand new Motiv bowling x EJ Tackett collaboration is here with the Motiv Venom EXJ. This ball is incredible. Of course we all know EJ and the Venom Shock go better together than PB and J but this Venom EXJ is amazing. This ball features the infamous Gear core from the Venom line wrapped by the Turmoil™ MXC Solid Reactive cover stock. I have used this ball when I’ve needed a smoother but strong ball motion. When I see my Venom Shock going too far down-lane or leaving weak corner pins, I will switch to my Venom EXJ instead. The Venom EXJ is a great compliment to the Venom Shock and is a GREAT ball to have for tournaments!

    10 Year EXJ Venom Shocker!!!!

    Layout: 50 x 5 x 40
    Speed: 16.5mph
    Rev: 450rpm

    As Everyone has predicted and expected, and even Hoped for, The EJ Special Edition Venom Shock is here! The Ultimate Benchmark ball refreshed EJ style! I myself throwing 14lbs. with the RG of 2.52, and the Max Diff. at .029, This bad boy is still the Benchmark King! Anyone who has gotten this ball and threw it knew instantly, this is thee ball to keep in their bag! And I am No exception! Only difference is, I am one who gets to take it to Nationals and throw it at South Point this Year! Cant wait for that!
    So far, the motion of the EXJ Venom has Not disappointed. Being a lefty, I get to move around with this ball, but, Must stay right of 15 board! So, the standard Lefty 10 board up isn't happening too consistent with this one! But, I get to shape it nicely! I find standing on 25 board and throwing out to 8-9 board has phenomenal results! The Gear Core is as expected to react the same as usual, but, the Turmoil MXC Core seems to have a bit more Bite to it than the standard Turmoil MFS cover. Maybe the DuraMax coating helps a bit with this one? Or, maybe its just the new Out of Box 2000 Grit LSS needing to get a few more games in it to tame it down a little? Not sure just yet, But for now, I am going to continue to enjoy the ride!
    Definitely, a great addition to the Venom Lineup, and currently in the Venom bag going to the Open!
    Open Arsenal is as follows
    EVOKE, Pride Dynasty, Black Venom, EXJ Venom, Hyper Venom, and Tank Rampage Pearl!

    If you can get your hands on this New Limited Edition Venom, Better get it NOW! Or, you will be kicking yourself later for Not having it! Don't wait, or it will pass you by!
