Introducing the Black Venom™, a bold upgrade to the already incredible Venom™ line. This uncompromising new addition features the latest Leverage™ cover technology from the Jackal Ambush, modified for maximum performance on moderate oil volume.  Pairing this new Leverage™ MFS Solid Reactive cover with the Gear™ APG core creates earlier read and unstoppable traction when attacking light-medium oil lane conditions.

The cover stock on the Venom™ Shock has been the gold standard for benchmark performance since its release nine years ago.  As oil volumes have increased over time, the Venom™ Shock appears more angular, so it’s time to take things to the next level.  Upgrading to Leverage MFS technology means the Black Venom has more bite and a smoother motion on the lane, giving you the upper hand when maximum traction is what you need.

At the core of the Black Venom you’ll find the Gear™ APG.  Originally developed to overcome the loss of weight holes in sanctioned play, it’s a uniquely low RG / low differential asymmetric core that delivers performance beyond its price point.  With versatile drilling options, you can create many shapes on the lane with just this one Gear APG core. 

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - For bowlers who have always wanted a Venom™, but the previous releases have been too weak or condition specific, the Black Venom™ is ideal. The Black Venom™ is a modern adaptation of the original Venom™ Shock, meaning that it is now stronger and smoother. This should make the Black Venom™ the perfect Venom™ for people too speed dominant for its predecessors.
  • Balanced Bowlers - Bowlers with balanced speed to rev rate ratios will find incredible versatility from the Black Venom™. As in the Venom™ Shock, the real magic in the Black Venom™ is the ability to use it on a multitude of conditions and from shallow to steep angles.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - The Black Venom™ is the ideal benchmark ball for a rev dominant bowler. All bowlers need a ball to use as a lane reader that is right in the middle of their arsenal and can be used on most conditions. The moderate strength Leverage™ MFS Solid Reactive paired with such a low differential (.036) in the Gear™ APG is perfect for Rev Dominant bowlers.

    Fantastic piece

    I picked up the Black Venom recently to add to my Motiv collection and wow, has this ball performed!

    This was my first pin-down layout on a ball and it's been super responsive to what I want to do with the shape. It's strong, but not too strong, and goes through the pins with a punch that I love to see. Really compliments my Revolt Uprising and Blue Coral Venom very well.

    Absolutely love this ball...might even get a second!

    Sheeeesh

    I always thought it was hyperbole when people used the phrase "house shot killer" until I got this ball.

    I pre-ordered this and it's barely left my hand at league night since. If you bowl on a medium to light house shot go and buy this ball right now. Like now! GO!

    The most remarkable thing about this ball is how continuous and adaptable it is after the lanes start to transition. If I have a good look with it from the get go the chances are I can stay in it through three games of a high traffic league and still carry.

    Now, I've moonlighted at a couple of different centers and not achieved the same results on a higher volume patterns through surface or targeting adjustments. Nor have I bowled on any sport shots with it. That being said - the ball is not advertised for that kind of shot and I am not (often) a tournament bowler. To reiterate if you bowl on a medium to light house shot you have already read too far. Go buy this ball now.

    Different yet familiar

    First off, WOW!! what a good looking ball. This ball is extremely clean for me yet predictable and will let you know if you throw it poorly. For me personally on the ball guide id flip this ball with the venom shock its a little quicker off the spot and generates more angle in my hand. This ball slots in to my work horse slot it does a little bit of everything once friction shows itself and allows you to move in and really use the angle in the back to open the pocket up and give you more miss room.
