Review:

The new Venom Shock is the latest product in already a fantastic line from Motiv Bowling. What can I say about this ball is that it performs just as well as it looks. The Venom Shock is brand new solid that brings together on outstanding core/cover combination that all it wants to do is strike and strike some more. With the Venom Shock, Motiv brought in the already proven Gear core and combined it with the Turmoil MFS (Medium Friction Solid) cover, which is a modified verison on the more aggressive Turmoil Cover that can be found on the Covert Revolt. With these combinations, the Venom Shock provides a very smooth ball motion but with little more angular backend that has just outstanding continuation through the pins that they don’t stand a chance.

Comments:

At first thought when I opened my UPS box and pulled the Venom Shock, I told myself this is a sexy looking ball. The colors just go well together and I have to say that the Shock is even sexier when it’s performing on the lanes. At first I threw the Venom Shock with box finish and got an over/under reaction so I put just two minutes of polish and boy did that open the lanes up. What I love about this ball is I love how smooth of a roll it has, hence the Turmoil cover, and the Gear core gives the Shock more of an angular backend motion and just like every release Motiv has come out with the continuation is just insane. Just like I thought of the Venom Strike, I fell the Venom Shock is the most versitale piece I have in my bag and I feel I can play any part of the lane and any oil condition. I haven’t seen one oil pattern that this ball will not work on. I really love this piece and I know you will too. High rev players has a something that they can use on house and still get in with enough continuation to kick out the corner pins. Medium and low rev players can still stay in their comfort zone and still score high with this piece.

Likes – Smooth ball motion with nice angular backend motion and devastation continuation

Dislikes – None

I recommend the Venom Shock for all types of bowlers.
