Review:
I tested my Venom Panic against the Venom Shock and Tribal. With this testing done on a shorter pattern, the Venom Panic did exactly what I anticipated. I have found a home for the Venom Panic when the Venom Shock is a bit too soon and too angular, and when the Tribal doesn’t quite make it back to the pocket. I found more success when the pattern began to blend out, and quickly began to open up on the lanes. The backend control is predictable and controllable.

Likes:
Clean through fronts
Controlled backend
Great in middle of a block

Dislikes:
None

Summary:
Everyone that fell in love with the Venom Shock, everyone will love the Venom Panic and then some. These two are an amazing combination, even the color scheme is something enjoy. There is nothing not too like about the Venom Panic as it goes down the lanes. I’ve stopped counting how times I think Motiv is winning with each bowling ball, this is a winning streak I know that won’t end.
