Venom Shock

The new solid purple Venom Shock produces a violent reaction on light to medium oil conditions.  It attacks the lane with the proven Gear™ weight block and new cover technology – Turmoil™ MFS (Medium Friction Solid) Reactive, which is a modified version of the more aggressive shell featured on the Covert Revolt.  This core and cover combination provides a smooth yet angular backend motion that strikes with devastating continuation.   

As far as shelf appeal, the Venom Shock does not disappoint.  The vibrant orange logo really pops off the purple shell.  And, for those that are into glow-in-the-dark bowling, the logos on the ball glow orange and green. 

The Venom Shock really does have it all – performance, looks, and a great price point.  The most shocking thing about this ball may be that you get such outstanding performance at such an affordable price! 

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant - Bowlers with higher speeds or moderate speed paired with lower rev rates, the Venom Shock is a great option for control in higher friction environments. Late in league nights or on low volume patterns, the Venom Shock shines for speed dominant bowlers.   
  • Balanced - For the balanced bowler the Venom Shock is an absolute must have in the middle of their arsenal.  Balanced bowlers will find that the versatility of the shock allows it to be used in many different volumes and lengths of oil from dry lanes to moderately high volumes of oil.  An added bonus for bowlers who love the Venom Shock is how well it responds to surface changes.  
  • Rev Dominant - Those with revs to spare can use the Venom Shock in many volumes of oil and see outstanding down lane continuation for a ball that is conventionally thought of as a control ball.  A shiny Venom Shock is a staple in the bag of many PBA Touring players who want to create some angle without sacrificing control in later transition.

    My go to ball during transition

    I’ve had this ball for several years now and have it drilled pin on pap. I only break out this ball when I know I can play it tight inside and ride the heavy oil down the lane and it pops nicely into the pocket. This ball has saved me so many times it’s always in my bag.

    This ball is solid no matter how it’s thrown

    While I don’t have a venom shock anymore (stupidly left it in my car overnight on a very cold Minnesota winter night), this ball was my go to when I had it. Averaged about 210 on a house shot with it and about 185 on a sport shot. No matter how it’s drilled, this ball is the GOAT for a reason, and I can see why EJ Tackett loves having it in his arsenal.

    Purchased a second...

    I can't sing enough praise about this ball. There is a reason this ball has been in production as long as it has and there is a reason you see this ball in so many arsenals at all levels of bowlers. I stepped down from 16lb balls to 15lb and was missing this ball from my new arsenal. I was waiting until my 10x10 league started so that I could order this with my voucher. I rolled a 210 and 208 out of the gate with this ball. Man I missed having it in my bag. Even coaching, if my JV athletes ask about a ball this is always the first ball I mention. The versatility and performance is absolutely outstanding and I have seen no issues with quality control in the manufacturing process (of any of the Motiv products). My only concern now is if this ball ever goes out of production (I may order another just to keep on the shelf).

    Absolute beast

    I’ve had the Shock for a while. I’ve thrown many bowling balls in my time lol. I love how versatile this ball is. Between the cover being very versatile. You can polish it to have a more sharper reaction on the backend. Or keep it at box get a more smooth reaction. Whatever you want you can. The most important to me is this Gear core is probably the best core. When it comes off the spot it drives and hits hard. I tell people this is the perfect benchmark ball.

    Love the ball

    I used this ball once and shot 2 games over my average right out of the box. I think this ball is one of my favorites and I'm glad I bought it. I recommend this for people looking for a ball that hooks a bit and is mainly suitable for an inside ball. I was thinking about getting the Primal shock but I couldn't afford it so I bought a cheaper ball, and I chose this.
