OUR FIRST MOTIV REVIEW!!! | Motiv Venom Shock and Black Venom | Bowling Ball Review

[@jrproshop]

COMMENT: What is your favourite Motiv ball? Which one would you buy?

[@billycrowden34]

When I first got into bowling i thought about buying the fatal venom. my friend has one and he loves it

[@TrandafirRuby]

Original VIP was one of my favorites

[@carterjones9851]

My favorite is the blue coral venom

[@cruz_bowls]

Primal Rage Remix (Green ball) is my favorite as it's the 1 I bowled my 300 with. These new releases have me hyped to try them out.

[@Bambams11Rt]

My Fav is the Jackyl Ghost.... you need to review it next. Good Video Review!!!!

[@bobbydecheney821]

About time!!! I work at the Motiv ball plant and happy to see our stuff on your channel!

[@cbrdealer]

Nice! That's why I don't mind spending a little extra for Motiv. They are made in the USA, and I know that doesn't matter to most people but I like supporting the home team when I can. In my part of Florida its mostly SPI incentivized pro-shops so Motiv stuff is overpriced.

[@McCollum2009]

I've been only throwing Motiv over the last 3 years. Venom Shock was my first Motiv and I've been hooked since. That Venom Shock now has around 300 games on it and still my go to in the transition games in League and Tournaments.

[@BowlingNDrums]

Please make sure they don’t discontinue the Motiv Carbide Tank. That ball is a beast.

[@freeekychiiild4765]

Awesome ball reaction with black venom!

[@jamesfriday3716]

Since you work for motiv. Get them to put the cover from the evoke on the primal core . Love the primal shock but it lane shines absurdly fast.

[@HomieJF]

As somebody who throws primarily Motiv equipment, it was nice to see this review from you guys. The Venom Shock is what made me fall in love with the brand years ago, alongside the Primal Rage. The Black Venom is my favorite ball to date with how nice it rolls and hits like a truck.

[@wallmunky503]

I just got a Primal Shock. Man, I don't know why I was sleeping on Motiv for so long. Incredible ball motion!

[@yungcamas6096]

does that ball hook more than a phase 5 ?

[@johnzac8710]

​@@yungcamas6096 yes

[@Mikey-1990]

I've been bowling for twenty five years and I've never thrown a Motiv ball. I've been looking for a slight step down off of my Proton and I was considering the Black Venom. I had it punched up and this thing is the real deal. Ball just blends out everything so nicely and has great continuation. I've used it on both house and sport no problem. Very impressed with this piece.

[@paulf4331]

I've been more of a Storm guy, but bought a Blue Coral Venom last year. It is probably the ball I goto most. Very versatile. I love it.

[@Erick-yl3zi]

The Black Venom is a perfect example of when a coverstock and a core line up perfectly.

[@atown723]

I'm tempted to have my first Motiv ball be a Primal Shock. That ball looks insane.

[@thesilveraura2177]

You won't be disappointed by its versatility.

[@scottfalwell1206]

The Pride is a great ball! I’m liking my new Black Venom a lot as well 😊 Oh yeah…. Favorite all time for me is Desert Tank

[@scottclouse5680]

Glad to see you guys doing some Motiv reviews. Hopefully you keep them coming. My favorite ball of all time is the Venom Shock, it’s my benchmark ball for sure. For almost anyone thinking of trying Motiv I would recommend this as their first ball. It’s versatile enough where I can work for a wide range of players and conditions. Great league ball. I recently bought the Black Venom and Primal Shock. Both seem like great balls too, but haven’t thrown them much yet. I would actually like to see you guys do a three ball comparison of the Primal, Venom Shock, and Black Venom just to try and confirm my initial thoughts.

[@chinnobi]

I'm looking to get the Primal Shock as my first Motiv Ball. Would love to see a review with comparable SPI balls.

[@JackandTom-tz8kj]

Great to see Motiv on the channel guys! You once said you needed a Motiv rep to show these balls. Did Jimoo sign with them?

[@kengaida3182]

If not before, he probably did after this review. Both balls looked sweet for him!!!

[@therocket_reviews]

I bought a Fatal Venom 2 months ago. When my Physix and Phaze II aren’t quite right, I can always count on the Venom to give me that reliable shape. And it also makes a really cool spare ball too.

[@P.vieRa_YT]

I have never tried this brand but if I ever drilled one or two I believe the two balls you just showcased would be what I would go for.

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

I've only drilled 1 Motiv ball, the Jackal Flash. My first 3 games with it were a 702. I have no idea why, but I haven't drilled a motiv ball since. If I was going to, it would be a Venom Shock because I don't have a sym solid, but I'm also thinking about one of the Trident's.

[@thebigeasy8609]

About time!!! Motiv Nation thanks you. My favorite Motiv ball is the so so so underrated Motiv Pride solid. On the left side it's sa-weet! but I must say the ball motion and shelf appeal of the Black Venom is gorgeous! Thanks Imoo

[@nickychierichella8670]

Fantastic there doing what I suggested when I suggested motiv bowling balls yay!! Thanks jr pro shop

[@xxChuatZxx]

just got a black venom, and like you it was working everywhere i threw it. threw my best game since i started bowling last fall. 246.

[@Fluffyguy958]

I've thrown the Jackal Legacy and Mythic Jackal. The Mythic is definitely my favorite of the two, I'll probably drill more up in the future. I like my big7 and motiv

[@petermilder1912]

Currently I am only throwing Motiv. My first Motiv ball was the Venom Shock. Since then I have drilled a second one and thinking about drilling a third. For anyone thinking about trying Motiv, I highly recommend starting with either a Venom Shock or a Jackal Ghost. Those are my 2 favorites. There's a reason why those 2 have been on the market the longest. They are awesome.

[@winsleypelayo4022]

i have been wanting a motiv ball, im thinking the venom shock. like jungo said its a low rg low diff ball which is something i need and it actually can fill up the bottom of my bag.

[@johnenriquez4816]

I've only thrown 4-5 Motiv balls over the years, including the Venom Shock. But my favorite is definitely the Blue Coral Venom. I love the shape and versatility from this piece.

[@robertwar7814]

I was into motive before motive was known. My favorite (and I still have it) is the cruel C51 LE. The first 50/50 hybrid on the market !!

[@hermanferguson1238]

Covert revolt, venom shock , jackal ghost. Thank you for the Motiv review finally!!!!! Great equipment!!!

[@tongue_twista7557]

I love my VIP Affliction. Like it so much, that I have a second NIB. I also have a Pride NIB, and can't wait to get that drilled.

[@ChosenMJ]

I don't bowl anymore but when I did Motiv became the brand I used primarily. I've had favorites from the Cruel Intent to the Villian Scorn, Venom Shock, Trident, Covert Revolt, United Revolt, Tank Blitz, Supra, Jackal Rising and Ghost. When you can find the right layout for your release as with any ball you will become successful and accomplish all you've set out to do. Great brand and equipment.

[@ACommentFromYouTube]

Yes!! You guys finally got Motivated!!!

[@leroyboyz2667]

Great review!!! Kids both have Primal Shock and Blue Coral and oldest has the Venom Shock as well.. Lookin for some Sniper spare balls to add to their bags.

[@itsdaley]

I got a venom shock over a year ago used from a pro shop for £50 after seeing how ej throws it and its in my top 2 favourite ball (other is purple hammer)

[@masonhickey2145]

Motiv getting some love. I've been throwing motiv for a while and never understood why others didn't.

[@condimentcars]

I'd have to say its the venom shock for best ball ever by them, followed by for me the jackal ghost, forge fire. The new Primal Shock is a must to throw in short term its quickly earning a yes to on list of best ever as well and do a review!!! Its a great continuation of the venom shock coverstock formula. The other two ej has been using is the primal shock and the blue coral venom after all! Awesome to see you finally show off the brand!

[@andrewjones4338]

So glad to finally see a Motiv review. The venom shock is an amazing ball. The Supra Enzo is a total house shot killer, and the Ripcord launch is my favorite pearl ball, behind the dark Code. I'm very sold on Motiv equipment and would buy em all if i could.

[@CliftonDon74]

Thanks for this one guys. Gret shooting Jimoo! I revisited this one. I spent this past year rebuilding my arsenal. Started with a Pitch Black, then went with Phaze II, Duo, and Hustle M-M. I recently added Black Widow 3.0 and Motiv Black Venom for some asymmetry to round out the bag. I look forward to using this one. Thanks again! Get Motivated!

[@GregWhipple]

I have a Venom Shock (my first bowling ball, picked up last year about this time.). I'm a 120 bowler at best. Still haven't found a place on the lane I can't strike with it, when I manage to throw a decent shot.

[@mitchellportee150]

My favorites are Jackal Ghost, Golden Jackal, Forge Flare, Mythic Jackal,Trident Horizon,and of course the Primal Shock . I started bowling last year and hammer was my brand ,but I got a motiv Jackal Ghost and I was hooked!!!!

[@daryldettmer9160]

I'm thinking of trying a Motiv ball and will try a Supra Rally for drier lane conditions

[@Nulookproshopbowling]

These balls are so good! Black Venom I throw a lot and drilled 2 Venom shocks as well. It seems I can throw these balls on any pattern. You hit them with surface and they pick up even better on tough patterns with more oil and blend them really well. JIMOO you saw the Black Venom first hand with me at the Edmonton Open LOL. We had a good time! PRIMAL is really good as well to do a review on, as well as the Blue Coral Venom. Great vid!

[@christopher7310]

Been waiting on this one. Currently throwing the Shock. Every year I'm worried it will be pulled from motivs lineup. Can't wait to get the new black and throw them both with my Primal shock

[@cbrdealer]

I know that feeling. Mine is getting old and has a lot of games on it, but its still rolling like a champ. I might buy a new one just in case. I would think its one of, if not their best selling ball even today. So I don't see them stopping production, but you never know. The world is crazy today LOL.

[@christopher7310]

@@cbrdealer That's exactly how I feel. I keep toying with the idea of buying at least one more to hang on to just in case. Over the past couple years if I've learned anything it's that it doesn't have to make sense for a company to do something crazy.

[@ACommentFromYouTube]

Ej loves that ball, until he retires I wouldn’t worry to much about the ball

[@leftyMOTIVguy]

The Jackal Ghost, the Venom Shock and the Forge Flare for the heavier longer patterns. Actually I love all my MOTIV pieces. It's all I throw. Get MOTIVated!!! I'm glad you like them.

[@Valath]

I've been using the venom shock for 3 years and switched to the primal shock 4 months ago and use it most now and is my favorite motiv ball now!

[@1rukie]

I’m getting the Supra rally when it comes out and the blue coral venom

[@brigham2250]

The Primal Shock is currently my primary ball. My average is in the mid-170s (two-handed bowler) but with the Primal Shock I've been scoring in the 220s a lot the last few weeks. I keep thinking to buy another and put it away for some future date when I want a fresh ball.

[@edd-vp5qh]

I'm 72, lefty, 187 ave, with 12mph ball speed. Have trouble controlling hook due to the slow speed and so far the Pitch Black is what I hit the pocket with the most. Want to find a controllable ball that carries corner pins better than the Pitch Black. Would either of these Motiv balls be a good choice for me?

[@brightfame7984]

That’s a fantastic video review! I’m sold with the Venom Shock because of Jimoo but I like how the pins collapses on the Black Venom.

[@StevenHoodlebrink]

Great review - I like seeing Motiv get some love from the YT bowling reviewers. Long time roto/storm/brunswick bowler here(20+ years bowling off and on). I went from 16 to 15 back in November and someone recommended Motiv so I got the Venom Shock. Great benchmark ball - I now bowl with only Motiv stuff. My full arsenal is the Ambush, Ghost, SkyRaptor, Primal Shock(I just punched it out), Venom Shock, Ripcord Velocity, and Blue Tank. I was going to get the Black Venom but might get the Supra instead because I need something for shorter patterns.

[@shadowmoasic3524]

My favorite motiv ball is the Carbide Tank, while the Primal Shock is a close second

[@whozeppelin224]

So awesome to see you all get Motiv on the lanes! I have a Motiv-only arsenal and I love their stuff. I own a Jackal Ghost, Pride Empire, Blue Coral Venom and the Revolt Uprising.

[@crankyy33]

Do you have cues for staying inside and underneath the ball for a two hander?

[@derekrojoharrington9445]

Thanks for the video. Been looking into the Venoms. What is the difference between the Shock, Black and the Blue Coral?

[@javieracevedo4406]

I have the Legacy & Mythic and planning on getting the Venom Shock for the dryer lanes.

[@Highway69theoriginal]

One of the best videos I've seen. Impressive!

[@troyjacobs68]

My top OG Motiv Balls 1)Venom Shock 2) Trident Quest 3) Primal Rage Motiv has something going on with these crossover balls. Love the Primal Shock and Black Venom. Don't sleep on the Blue Tank

[@augustineosorio7126]

I used to have the forge fire and it was my favorite ball until it got stolen. But it did get me to love motiv balls like crazy! But the venom shock and the blue tank are great balls.

[@BigHurt24]

Favorite Motiv ball is the Venom Shock but the Primal Shock is really good. Also loved the Primal Rage as well

[@neveraskagainshutup2244]

Hey there, I'm considering getting the Primal Shock. I heard it uses the Venom Shock's coverstock and the Primal Rage's core. I'm having a dilemma if I should get a ball from the Venom line/Primal Shock/Jackal line. I heard great reviews on these motiv balls so is there anything you can share with me that could make my final decision easier. Thank You!

[@BigHurt24]

@neveraskagainshutup2244 all three lines are really good. Haven't thrown the Black Venom as I haven't got one yet and the Jackal is also great. I say out of the three, the jackal is the strongest, the BV is in the middle, and the Primal is the weakest. You got the Ambush, so u don't need the Jackal, so I would go with the Black

[@hersheljones9467]

So I’ve been wanting to try motiv couldn’t decide what to buy but I finally decided n purchased a black venom this weekend

[@jamesmykel7713]

Mine is the venom recoil. Always wanted to try the venom fatal or shock

[@grumpymonkey811]

Currently, my favorite Motiv ball is the Jackal Infused. I have the Venom Shock as well, but it really wants dry boards. I have a Black Venom being drilled and ready to be used on Wednesday night league. :D

[@dubent.8896]

I never gave Motiv products a thought until my dad won a Primal Rage in a ball raffle way back. My 1st perfect game came from that ball & I never looked back. Thank you Motiv

[@uknowwhatisup1]

Just bought my second ball . Venom shock . My first was Hammer Raw . Loving new ball so far

[@sonnyjones4684]

Got them both and love them both!!

[@donsmith7771]

I started throwing Motiv in early 2020 when they closed the hopkinsville KY plant.. (threw primarily ebonite stuff for 20+ years) honestly I dug the original microcell covert tank but the last year they've been releasing consistent fire

[@dennisrenstrom2649]

Were both balls polished before the comparison video?

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

I've been a 900 Global guy for a long time, and I don't have a Motiv ball yet. If I get one first, I would go with the Vemom Shock first because it was out first.

[@charlesmitchell4646]

Of all time, Alpha Jackal. Currently in the bag goes to multiple leagues at different houses. The Pride Empire.

[@tdub5693]

Black Venom is my first haven't had it drilled yet tho

[@MrAVID526]

My two favorite are the Jackal Ghost and the new Primal Shock. My whole bag is Motiv. I love them!

[@jcjufer2737]

Was the black venom drilled the same as the purple venom

[@michaelkoch603]

Been waiting on this one forever

[@walterhansen5340]

Jackie Ghost is my favorite Motiv ball . I own 7 . Just purchased the Black venom . Looking forward to using it .

[@christopherakaninja3878]

I have both and soon the new Supra Rally. Love both Venoms for sure!

[@scruffybackpacker1299]

Currently I still throw a fatal venom and a jackel legacy from motiv years ago I absolutely loved the purple trident.

[@Kpher]

If you were to compare the similarity of these two venom to Storm, which storm ball would be somewhat close to these two Venoms? Kinda trying to get a close comparison out of curiosity because I thought about getting one or the other maybe.

[@dannymarin2160]

Venom Cobra. Need a ball like that again. Any suggestions?

[@CliftonDon74]

Thanks guys for this video! I am looking for an asymm ball for the bottom of the bag. Probably going to get "MotivAted" with this Black Venom. This would be my first.

[@lenlangelaan3649]

I have a black venom that I’ve had for about a season and it is amazing. Definitely my go to ball.

[@georgeguinea9359]

I love my Jackal Ghost!!! I can play anywhere on the lane and always get a great response off the friction.

[@lenzi1991]

Just started bowling again after taking about 10 years off and I got the motiv blue coral and the primal shock, love them both. But that primal is something special

[@davetoews3378]

Could you guys do a comparison of the venum shock to the primal shock? One is a asim, and the other is symmetric. The primal is the primal rage core, and the Venum shock cover.

[@luqmanrosli6340]

Motiv alpha jackal was my first and still had it in the bag, totally worth it

[@frankthetank665]

My Top 3 Motiv Balls of all time 1. Primal Rang Remix 2. Primal Scream 3. Trident Nemesis

[@flippperboy]

Venom Shock. Great review

[@aleffel9668]

My favorite ball right now is the primal shock. I plan on getting all 3 venoms that are out soon. They all look so good.

[@nickscraft_minecraft]

I have a black venom. I used to use a Brunswick rhino blue teal green. This ball here is truly a game changer for me rolled my next high games with it after my high game with the rhino being a 214. My new high score with the black venom is 278. Looking to try an Evoke for my senior season!

[@chrisrodgers4731]

When the bowling section opens up you have the venom shock specs are shown you have the black venom core showing.

[@donaldcooper1080]

Blue tank is an awesome ball. Unfortunately it's been discontinued

[@jujudadon284]

What was the drill pattern on the Black venom ‼️‼️‼️😞

[@bowlingmoose]

The Venom Shock is awesome. I'm a big fan of the Carbide Tank, that's probably my favorite right now.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool tech bowling bowling ball motiv black motiv with nano technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time Jr pro shop

[@philburton1899]

The Black venom is my first Motiv bowlingball I thrown and I can say I love I got it Thanks Motiv!!

[@09krob]

Blue coral venom is my fav! Motiv nation!

[@jimk9290]

My favorite is between the Blue Tank and the Carbide Tank. It just depends on the pattern. These balls have a very high carry percentage when they hit the pocket. Get one of each of these, and you'll be even more in love with Motiv bowling balls. They are very predictable, and they respond to speed, hand, and oil just like they should.

[@lobsterbisk3941]

Having four motiv line balls I’m definitely a fan of their products. It’s a close tie between my fatal venom and my Supra rally but the, fatal venom is a little more versatile for me.

[@MrOsmodeus]

i've been considering a top thrill while i get my speed up so i stop over hooking. can we expect to see other brands popping up such as swag? or is this more of a reviewing your own personal gear situation?

[@tylorrobbins2813]

I gotta say my favorite was the covert tank and now my favorite is the desert tank. These balls were when they introduced MCP and gave us another option between urethane and reactive

[@edd-vp5qh]

How does the MCP differ from Urethane?

[@psaunders300]

I have the Venom Shock and I really like it, but my favorite Motiv ball is the Venom Recoil. The Recoil, like the Black Venom has an asym core and is a great compliment to the Shock.

[@aujinajmi7431]

Layout u use ? I want try

[@mystro89]

Just ordered the venom shock and fatal venom, can't wait to throw them.

[@scott.church]

Everything I've thrown from Motiv has at least been decent. Haven't run into any duds so far, but my favorite is the Trident Odyssey. Blends house shots out with ease and shapes better for me than any aysm solid I've thrown.

[@Topnikko]

I have thrown nothing but Brunswick brands since I started bowling 5 yrs ago. I recently bought the Venom Shock and Primal Shock. These balls are different. Better. Much better than any of the countless other balls I've had.

[@Prnav007]

My first ball was a motiv and it's called the Tag Cannon but I have thrown the Jackel Ghost as well both good balls
