Venom Recoil

The Venom line is getting a power upgrade with the new Venom Recoil. This is the first asymmetric Venom ever released by MOTIV and it features the new Gear APG (Asymmetric Performance Gain) weight block.

Because the balance-hole rule has changed, MOTIV created the asymmetric Gear APG weight block to give ball drillers more layout versatility when no balance-hole is used.

The original Venom Shock provides incredible performance at a very affordable price and this new asymmetric Venom Recoil is no different. This ball offers massive value!

    Glad I switched

    So glad I switched to Motiv, after the EBI and Brunswick debacle, of which I am getting rid of over 20 balls and bags, I am totally devoting myself to the Motiv brand. A company that is not only American but in my home state of Michigan. I have the Primal Rage LE 5 yr, the Rogue Blade, and Venom Recoil. The Rage acts as my benchmark, the Blade is great for down and in, the Recoil is my go to ball. Shot 673 series 2nd time throwing in practice and can use this ball all 3 games with very little lane movement. This ball suits me well and has pushed my carry by at least 50 pins in league and 100 in practice this past Sunday. I can't wait to get my Supra and Alpha Jackal!!!!! The Recoil is the bomb!!!!

    Venom Recoil

    This ball gives me a good option when the shock does not make the corner. For me it is cleaner in the fronts and a little more pop than the shock when I need it. I love this line!

    Ball speed- 17mph
    Rev rate- 360

    Hard Hitting

    I still throw conventional drilled equipment, with a high rev rate. This ball worked perfect for me on a house shot as well as a fairly "easy" sport shot. As the pattern broke down I was able to play deeper.

    Venom Recoil

    This is my standard ball on our league house shot, which is a little on the dry side. It goes long enough but still comes back if I swing it too far right and hits hard. Mine is drilled pin 2.75" right of center line and centered on fingers with the mass bias drilled out of the thumb. Highly recommend this ball.

    Venom Recoil

    I have had this ball since spring of 2019. It gets down the lane and has a hard predictable snap. As the lanes wear down I am able to play deeper, and still get a nice shot. I think this ball would work well in a number of oil patterns.
