12/27/2021Product Venom ShockBy Bryan MFrom Nottingham, MarylandAlways in my bag for league, tournaments or casual bowling!
I have built a nice Motiv arsenal so far in the last 2 years since I started bowling and adding the Venom Shock to my bag was definitely a smart choice!
This ball is so versatile for any lane condition and is always one you can count on when you just cant find that spot.
Great piece to have in any bag, combine this with the fatal venom and you got a deadly combinationI would recommend this to a friend

12/20/2021Product Venom ShockBy Robert PoeschlFrom Milwaukee, WIAbout Me Rev Dominate, advancedMaybe Not a Benchmark but a Must Have!
I’ve had a bit of a love hate with this ball so much so I drilled a number of them thinking I could possibly find what others found so special. My ball review is with respect to all drilled balls and surfaces in hindsight. On fresh, all reactions were generally blended closer to each other and as a reminder to all to adjust surface to tune ball reaction first.
Ball 1 used my default layout 5” x 35deg which puts the pin on grip centerline just above my bridge giving me a quicker/straighter move in the roll phase. With my high rev rate and moderate axis rotation I couldn’t square up with the lane and pushed me left unable to carry the corner unless giving it a good 60-70degs axis rotation which lead to bowler skill issues (me) getting my hand cleanly out of the ball. Surface only exacerbated carry issues and polish made it over/under.
Ball 2 was laid out 5” x 70deg, the dreaded pin down symmetrical… I actually shot a 300 out of the bag in box finish first warming up with the pin up ball and switching to the pin down. This one flared significantly less and really gave it a glide through the middle of the lane. The box finish also worked very well on wood. Unfortunately the lower flare look didn’t hold up well as I migrated left.
Ball 3 was laid out 3.75” x 30 and was my favorite look with this ball. The added flare in my eyes helped match the cover dominate nature of the ball making it start earlier and be more continuous. The ball worked easier with a more moderate hand position 45-55deg. The ball still being relatively strong downlane, I liked it more with a little surface 3000CTD to make it a little rounder. The added traction does push me a little left but also the peace of mind knowing I won't miss the breakpoint.
General observations… if you have higher axis rotation or are speed dominate you will love this ball. For those like myself who are a little more forward it may be a little too strong for typical house shots although getting to the 1-3 will be cake. It’s easily to see why this ball is so popular, pretty, aggressive , and cheap.

11/23/2021Product Venom ShockBy Joel z.From Dayton, OhioAbout Me 210 average 1 league a week bowler.Really is the G.O.A.T
People throw around the term GOAT all the time. I can truly say that this is the number 1 ball in my opinion. I have been able to use this at my home house on many different conditions and also in tournaments. The ball hits so hard. This is coming from a guy that’s a down and in player normally, but with this ball i am able to get my feet left and throw a little bit of a more arching shot if needed. I’m glad I added this piece to my bag.

A must have in anyone arsenal! I have two Shocks drilled and they both never let me down. It’s hard to pick what one I want to take to league. It’s a perfect ball for league or tournaments! I don’t see this ball going off the chart anytime soon, if so I’m buying a case or two of them!
