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!

    Great ball

    This ball has performed greatly. Probably one of the best Motiv balls I've ever used. I have been extremely consistent with it and have been able to use it in almost any scenario.

    Venom Recoil

    Ball was wonderful out of box and was the first ball out of my bag for awhile. The ball was smooth through the oil and loved to see the friction as well.

    1st game on new ball

    After 3 years out of the game, I decided to come back to league bowling. I set only a 162 average and was having to slow down the shot, and I was not getting solid reads with the equipment I had.

    Finding this ball was worth the wait to get it.
    Right out of the pro shop, I shot 1 practice game (164).
    Learning the new ball, I went right into league and bowled
    213-170-225=608. This ball let me get the speed back up, and it goes down the lane smooth with great backend action. Very readable and easy to adjust with this ball.

    I see my average climbing greatly with this new ball and recommend this ball highly.

    Left-handed, cranker, 500 rev rate and this ball just works. Drilled pin up with MB next to the thumb. I send this ball out and it turns hard and hits solid in the pocket with great pin action.

    Thanks Motiv for bringing this asymmetric ball to the market. It is a must have for any bowler that wants a new ball in the bag that works well for league players.
