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.

    Best All Around Ball I’ve Ever Thrown

    Most new bowling balls have a production run of about 2 years. However, every now and then a manufacturer hits a home run and the ball remains highly successful and is in demand and production for years. The Venom Shock is such a ball, and it is by far the most versatile ball I have ever used. The Fatal Venom and Jackal Ghost are great partners with this ball for the varying lane conditions.

    Venom Shock

    Never thrown Motiv until I had won this ball recently in a league raffle. Ended up going with a 45 x 4 1/2" x 30 layout on it and so far it has proven to be an absolute unit on multiple different shots. 1000% would recommend this for somebody looking to get into Motiv equipment or for somebody looking for a weaker solid. There's a reason why this has been on the market for almost 10 years.

    I wish I had this ball sooner than I did

    I have been throwing this ball for a little under 2 years. And man I wish I got this ball when it came out. I know most reviews have already said this. But it just cannot be said enough that this is one of the most versatile balls still on the market today. It is a great entry-level ball for someone looking to get their their first reactive bowling ball. It is also a phenomenal benchmark ball that you can throw on almost any oil pattern. I don't go to any league night or tournament without it. It is so good I am considering buying another one for safe keeping.

    A must have in any arsenal

    I hope they never stop producing this ball. When my sons reach 15lbs, I am buying them both this ball. Its a 300 ball for me!

    Better than I expected

    This is a GREAT ball! I started building a 6 ball arsenal after having to retire my Forza. I already had a Pride and a Trident Odyssey but wanted something a little weaker to play early on the right side. The Pride is my benchmark ball but I was shocked (no pun intended) to see how well this ball rolled. It holds a similar shape down the lane as the Pride but a little weaker than the Pride so I can stand right and burn up the right side before making a ball change and/or moving left and still get a lot of pin action. Recently, my Pride was damaged at my normal bowling center taking a few big gashes right in the track. I needed a go-to ball that I was confident in while a new Pride gets shipped and this is that ball. And it smells nice! - 6 ball arsenal = Mythic Jackal, Sky Raptor, Trident Odyssey, Pride, Venom Shock, Fatal Venom
