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.

    Best starter ball on the market.

    Just my opinion here as I know there are many, but if you getting started with the sport the absolute undisputed starter ball is the Venom Shock. Such a great ball for consistency with many lane conditions to truly start to learn your game. For me, it is also my go to ball when I start to struggle that helps me get back to the basics of my game.

    venom shock

    I have the Venom Shock, Lethal venom and the Venom ExJ. The venom shock is the first ball out of the bag on league play. It adapts well to changing lane conditions!

    THE Venom Shocks Monstrous Game

    I have been bowling seriously now for only about a year and a half. Last year, as a freshman i joined my high school's bowling team-- go blue devils--, and I eventually decided I needed a better ball than the Tzone I had been using, so i whent to my proshop after practice to look at some balls, and I landed on purchasing my first and hopefully not my last Motiv ball, the Venom Shock. I've only been bowling with it for a few months, but it has given my game exactly what it needs: a smooth angle right into the pocket every time. My average has gone up drasticly and I'd like to tink its because of the balls stregth on the lane and the precision I have because of it. This is a great ball for anyone who needs an all-around great ball.
