At the heart of the Hyper Venom lies the Gear core, a reliable juggernaut. The Gear core is a proven force in the world of bowling. Featuring a low RG / low Differential, this fast spinning, low flaring core promises stability in the mid-lane without the risk of burning up due to excessive flare.
Well over 10 years later and Turmoil™ MFS (Medium Friction Solid) Reactive is still the ultimate benchmark cover. Clean through the fronts, a strong midlane read, and incredible drive through the pins. It creates the perfect motion for a light-medium oil benchmark bowling ball. Paired with the Gear core, and you will find a benchmark bowling ball that needs to be in every single arsenal.
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.
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.
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.
Literally loved this ball so much I bought 2. 1 pin up, 1 Rico drilled. Great for multiple looks, various patterns, and smooth!

I returned to serious bowling last year and while looking for equipment a friend turned me on to Motiv. I hadn't heard much but in talking with him and doing my own research I decided to give them a try and bought a Venom Shock. That was the best decision I could have made.
I immediately noticed how easily it revved up seemingly on its own. I love the predictable smooth shape it gives and just has a overall great arc downlane. I can't believe how wide my strike pocket is with the Venom Shock, it really sets up nicely, and my coach agrees. If I roll up high flush - crush 10 back and I even get the 4 out on hits that look too high. On lighter hits I get a lot of side motion and carry all the swishers as well. This combination lets me stay ahead of transition so in addition to carrying nearly everything that's close I stay lined up better because I know I have the carry to move earlier than I normally would. Misses left push just enough and misses right react well to the dry.
Initially I thought I'd end up with a mixed bag as I developed my arsenal. My experience with the Venom Shock changed my mind. Nothing but Motiv is going in that bag.

It's my go to ball. Glad I bought it. Great reaction down lane.

I LOVE this ball. Was the first one I received as a gift when my previous ball cracked. First thing that caught my eye was the color combo (blue and orange; HUGE Gator fan). Secondly, the beautiful resin reactive coverstock when polished just really POPS when you pull it out of the box. As far as on the lanes, one of the smoothest balls I've rolled. Gets through the front part of the lanes with ease and mids with a little fight before hitting the back end and snapping a bit in the pocket. Forgiving if you hit light or miss outside (anything 10, 8 board and out). Finishes well through the pocket, no wiggling corner pins. This ball reacts better on medium to light oil. Ball is versatile if you're a down and in type or more of a swinger. Highly recommend as a beginner ball but also as a trusted "go-to" when lane conditions are drying up.
I bought this a few years ago, and is was great for me. Since then I gave it to my mom to use and she loves it too.
