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.

    Versatile ball

    The shock has been around for several years for good reason. It can do many things well. It travels down the outside with just a bit of oil, and if need be you can move in a bit and ride the hold for a stronger reaction on the back end. Stay behind it, and it rolls relatively strait.

    Benchmark Ball

    The Venom Shock has been around for a very long time for a bowling ball. When it's not broke, you don't fix it. I am building my arsenal around it. The ball gets better every time I use it.

    Great benchmark ball

    I recently re entered the sport after many years. I researched the current ball manufacturers, and decided on Motiv. Their site was laid out the best, made it easy to choose the proper ball. I chose the Venom Shock for the center of my arsenal to get things started being it does so many things well. My daughter was in need of a new ball, and asked my opinion, so I sent her one as well. I love that Motiv is made in Michigan, having lived nearby I know of the pride they take in producing their gear. You won't be disappointed.

    Unbelievable

    I have heard so much about the Venom Shock but only recently purchased one. I ran the gambit with MOTIV balls but the Venom Shock is now a staple in my arsenal. Definitely should have gotten this ball sooner.
