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.

    venom shock

    OMG this is one of the best ball I have ever gotten. It's so good shiny and I love the smooth but quick motion that I get. Talking with EJ Tackett, there's a reason why the ball isn't off the market and one of Motiv's best ball ever!

    Venom Shock is a beast

    I have had my last 4 300 games with the same Venom Shock. Its 10 years old and still works great. Its my benchmark ball for house shots and most tournaments. There is a reason is been around for over a decade.

    Best Benchmark Ball

    The Motiv Venom Shock is my first-ever bowling ball, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to real equipment. From the very first throws, it just felt right—smooth, controllable, and incredibly consistent.
    What impressed me most is how predictable the motion is. The Venom Shock reads the lane beautifully and gives me a clean, confident move off the backend without ever feeling jumpy.

    The one ball you can’t be without.

    This ball is absolutely amazing. I use it for league night and can go all three games with the same drive. Although it’s listed for medium-dry lanes, it holds well on tournament patterns. It’s a terrific all around ball. It can hook, but it also shoots straight when you really want it. My scores have gone up 20-30 points. This ball has been out over 10 years and there is a reason, it’s really that good! Convinced it might be the only ball I’ll ever need.

    1st Motiv Ball

    This was my first Motiv ball, yes a little late to the party. Lol. The Venom Shock is the real deal. I see why its been around for so long. It allows me to play pretty much wherever I want to, I can play down and in with a little speed, or slow wheel it. Definitely will be buying more Motiv stuff in the near future. After about a week of throwing it, I shot 298, 290, 234 for an 822. The Venom Shock is so versatile. #GETMOTIVated
