Motiv Black Venom bowling ball review

Описание: If you are a long time Average Joe follower, you probably know by now that the Venom Shock is probably my favorite bowling ball of all time. All my perfect games have been shot with the Venom Shock and my highest series has been also shot with the Venom Shock, so I got pretty excited when I heard about the Black Venom.

The Black Venom uses the same Gear APG core that was used on the Venom Recoil and it is wrapped with the Leverage MFS solid coverstock. This ball is impressive.

I started laying the ball around 13 and having 6 or 7 as my breakpoint and the ball never missed the pocket. When I missed left the ball had enough energy to make it back to the pocket with light hits, while missing inside weren't as forgiving as when I missed outside.

The ball is stronger than advertised. The Black Venom provides me with a similar shape of the Shock, but it is earlier and smoother when it hits the friction.

This is a great to read the lanes, it gives you a good idea of what is out there. It is smooth and it has a controllable backend motion.

The Black Venom has a similar shape to the Venom Shock. The biggest difference between the two is that the Venom Shock is cleaner and it has a stronger downlane motion without being too angular, while the Black Venom provides with an earlier read of the lane and a smoother transition.

Overall, I feel that the Black Venom is a tad stronger than the Shock. This ball will fit into a lot of bowling styles and it complements the Venom Shock perfectly. Motiv was long overdue by not having an asymmetric piece in the mid-range of their lineup and with this ball they delivered.

Thank you for watching!
