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.

    Benchmark!!

    Such a wonderful ball to throw first to read the lanes. Has great looks too, When the oil starts moving and the lanes start drying out I grab this ball everytime. It has been my go to for the 3rd game lately and has been a game changer. 100% Motiv all the way for this guy. Keep it up Motiv!!

    Improved my game

    I started my Motiv bag with a Thrill , then Top Thrill then Shock and the Hyper Venom. Previously before motiv I threw 15# but due to back issues and finally surgery I went to 14#. My Proshop owner suggested Motiv and that’s all it took. The Shock is my Go To. I’m not a high rev player and my speed due to my back is just over 14 mph. Nothing hits like a Motiv when I do my part and my light carries are fantastic.

    My first Motiv ball

    Very impressed with the Venom Shock. I bowled a 279 first game out of the box on a leftover house shot from the night before. The shape is very smooth and predictable, with great pin carry. I can’t wait to get my Evoke Hysteria drilled.

    Best Ball

    This ball has been called the greatest ball Motiv has ever produced and has proven itself on the lanes as it has been in production for so long! Rolls well for me and hits hard, my favorite ball I have thrown. They know what they are doing when it comes to making bowling balls!
