Brace yourself— a lethal dose of Venom is coming.  The Venom line, already legendary, introduces the latest game-changer, the Lethal Venom.  This wicked new addition offers the predictable and smooth motion you loved from the Venom Recoil but dials it up with the latest cutting-edge technology.  Leverage MXC coverstock with Duramax technology pairs with the asymmetrical Gear APG core for a deadly combination. 

At the heart of the Lethal Venom is the Gear APG asymmetrical core, and it’s an absolute powerhouse. With a fast-spinning low RG of 2.47, a controllably low differential of .036, and an intermediate differential of .013 — this core strikes the perfect balance of control and versatility. What does that mean for you? It’s like having the precision of the original Gear core from the Venom Shock—but on steroids. The Gear APG lets you adapt and attack the lanes with confidence.

Now, let’s talk coverstock—the Lethal Venom features the same Leverage MXC Solid Reactive cover originally found on the Subzero Forge.  That means the Lethal Venom is the first Venom to contain the game-changer of Duramax additive technology!  This means that the cover will hold its surface longer, have better traction in the oil, create a smooth down-lane motion, and allow for maximum control. This isn’t just innovation—it’s domination.

When To Use

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - For speed dominant bowlers, the Venom Shock and Black Venom may be too clean to use on fresh oil.  For bowlers in that situation, the Leverage MXC coverstock will give enough traction to use a lower differential core like the Gear APG when more rev dominant players are using them.  Additionally, speed dominant players benefit greatly from Duramax enhanced coverstocks and the Lethal Venom will serve as a great step down from the Subzero Forge and Evoke for lower oil concentrations or straighter angles.
  • Balanced Bowlers - The Lethal Venom will be a great benchmark option for balanced bowlers to use as the first ball out of their bag.  For balanced bowlers, a smooth, controllable, lower flaring ball is useful for reading an oil pattern and giving a great deal of control early in competition. 
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - Many rev dominant bowlers need smooth and controllable motion, but struggle to use high differential bowling balls.  The significant flare of a high diff ball can often create issues with carry for rev dominant players.  WIth the .036 differential of the Lethal Venom, rev dominant players can use something that will respond more slowly to friction on the lane without being hindered by excessive flare.

    My favorite Assym venom to date

    Once I got my hands on the Lethal I haven’t stopped throwing it. Until I started using it I would have to switch balls and zones in league making it a bit difficult to put up big numbers. I haven’t touched another in 4 weeks which is unheard of in my home house. The lethal Venom was stronger than expected. There is a sizable gap between the Black and Lethal in strength and length. The Lethal still continues plenty as it reads the lane a couple feet sooner than the Black Venom. The Lethal is my go-to ball and with the Duramax additive all I have to do is clean it after league and put it away. The cover is just as dull as day one.

    This ball is the next great in the Venom line. With the leverage MXC cover with Duramaz you can expect the ball to be clean, round, and continuous. I drilled mine 40x 4 1/2x 30. This layout allows the ball for me to read the the fronts and mid lane while still being smooth off the friction. Doesn't go as left as the Black Venom, yet it's was stronger in the midlane.

    Absolute Versatility!

    This may be the best Venom since the Shock. I have seen some of the best ball reaction from the Lethal Venom that I've ever seen in my over 20 years of bowling. The Lethal Venom is a piece that will be usable in any bowlers bag. It's not often you find a ball that looks just as good from further inside as it does up the track. It allows me to play every angle on the lane imaginable. I really don't have much to say besides DRILL ONE. You won't regret it in the slightest. It is one of the best bowling balls we have ever released!

    Stronger than expected

    The Lethal Venom continues the legacy and evolution of the venom line! After seeing the success from PVA tour players with this ball, I was very excited to drill.

    Using one of my favorite layouts (40x5.5”x40) with box finish, I was surprised how strong this ball is compared to my expectations! With the assymetric version of the Venom core, the Lethal Venom shapes quite a bit downlane and has good traction in the oil.

    The Lethal Venom makes the Black Venom seem quite a bit cleaner and less overall. I also enjoy using the Venom Recoil as a “trick ball” for flatter patterns with friction. The Lethal Venom is stronger & more aggressive than both!

    The color scheme & shelf appeal are top notch. The Lethal Venom catches eyes on the shelf, on the rack, and running over pins!
