Motiv Primal Shock bowling ball review

Описание: I am not going to lie. When I found out about the Primal Shock, I was immediately excited. The Venom Shock and the Primal Rage are probably two of the best bowling balls ever made by Motiv and having a crossover between these two looked great on paper. Fortunately, this ball lives up to the hype.

The Primal Shock is clean through the front part of the lane with a strong, but predictable and continuous motion in the backend. For me, the Primal Shock has a “benchmark ball” shape. Not overly smooth, while not angular either. The higher RG on this ball allows it to be cleaner than other solid pieces, while the Turmoil MFS Solid coverstock provides hook in the oil resulting in a strong midlane read and a strong, but controllable motion downlane.

The second thing I noticed with the Primal Shock is how versatile this ball is. I was able to hit the pocket from different parts of the lane. I started laying out the ball around second arrow and having the 6 board as my breakpoint. The Shock had no issues clearing the fronts and delivered a smooth transition down the lane. I felt that I had a great margin of error with the Primal Shock on this pattern.

This ball blends the pattern quite nicely, is not jumpy when it hits the friction and is not too clean to miss the breakpoint in case you miss inside your mark.

Overall, The Primal Shock is a versatile piece that will fit into a lot of different bowling styles and it can be used to play on different parts of the lane. Whether you want to play straighter angles on fresh or move in when the lane transition, this ball offers great versatility to be used on a wide variety of conditions. I feel that the Primal Shock is a great option to use on everything but the extremes.

The Primal Shock offers a clean, smooth and continuous motion on most medium and heavy oil patterns. Bowlers who want control at the breakpoint while keeping some shape down the lane, the Primal Shock will be a great option. I feel this is the kind of ball that will always find a spot in your bag.

Thank you for watching!
