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.

    Venom Shock is one of the BEST balls ever produced by ANY company

    I have been bowling since I was a very young child. Over the years I have used dozens of different bowling balls produced by literally every brand. Let me just say, it should not come as a SHOCK to anyone who has ever thrown this ball (or seen it thrown), that it is among the most useful, predictable, hard hitting, and versatile bowling balls ever produced. It is almost always my "go to" 1st ball out of my bag. I am a left handed player who would be described as "balanced". With the Shock in my hands, I can play most any condition on any lane surface. I could not recommend the Venom Shock more highly. Over the past couple of years, I know at least a half dozen league and tournament mates that have purchased this ball after seeing how it rolled for me. Motiv....PLEASE never stop producing this ball.....EVER !!

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Benchmark and first out of the bag at league

    I've owned this Venom Shock for several years, and would recommend one to anyone, and I have.
    I feel it's versatile and predictable, and the surface is easily adjusted to match lane conditions. I can't imagine anyone not being able to fit one into their bag.

    I just don't think you can go wrong with Venom Shock.

    Talk about reliability

    First time for me to try a Motiv bowling ball, so of course had to try their ol tried and true Venom Shock. This ball truly is a great benchmark ball. I always start by throwing this ball to see what the lane conditions look like. Whether this is where I start my night or if I need to ball down to the Motiv Thrill Hybrid. Even on cooked lanes if I need to move far left and wing it, I can rely on this ball coming back to the pocket. Definitely worth the switch I made to throw Motiv equipment.

    Now I know why the Venom Shock is still around!

    I have several Motiv bowling balls. The oldest being a Jackal Legacy. I love the Venom line. I have 3 different ones. I decided to get the Venom Shock, I really am glad I did! The ball fits my game really well.
