Motiv Venom Recoil

Motiv is upgrading the Venom line of bowling balls with the powerful Venom Recoil. This ball introduces an asymmetric core to the Venom line called the Gear APG (Asymmetric Performance Gain). This core was designed to give ball drillers more drilling options. Motiv combines this core with the Coercion MFS Reactive coverstock and finishes it with a 4000 grit LSS. This ball offers a powerful yet smooth motion on light to medium oil conditions.

What a Killer Ball!

500-1500 Abralon dulled/sanded - I stand all the way left and swing it out to the 5 board and she comes roaring back!
2000-4000 Abralon followed by ball spinned polish - She looks like a shiny gem and she's perfect for a relaxed straight down and in shot standing around 10-dot or center, and throwing her anywhere from the 4-12 board, and crushes the pocket!

affordable versatility

The first word that comes to mind after my personal use of the Recoil would be 'Unique'. I have always been a fan of the Venom line, specifically MOTIV's legendary Venom Shock. The Shock always had a spot reserved in my tournament bag because of its adaptability to almost any pattern I was bowling on. The only issue I saw with the Shock would come when the ball would become a bit too angular down lane and difficult to control without sacrificing pin carry in the process. I see similarities between the Shock and the Recoil in their adaptability. What sets the Recoil apart is the smoother ball motion and ability to blend out patterns with ease. The second thing that sets this one apart comes from the asymmetrical Gear APG core. The asymmetrical core gives the Recoil more power behind it, which provides a stronger continuation through the pins that tend to be lost with benchmark pieces as your angles change. I would highly recommend a Recoil and Shock pairing in any MOTIV fan's bag as they are perfect complements of one another.

Question:

Need a ball with power and aggresive in 14 lbs

11/13/2020 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:

The Venom Recoil will be a strong hooking ball if you are bowling in medium to lighter oil conditions. The reaction is a smoother hook reaction because it can start reading some in the midlane and then good continuation on the backend.

1/18/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Question:

HOW WILL THIS BALL (VENOM RECOIL) COMPARE TO THE DESERT TANK?

2/2/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:

This ball will have a little more length than the Desert Tank and it will have a stronger hook potential. The reactive coverstock is going to help this have a stronger hook potential and also be able to handle a little more oil so it is good for medium to lighter oil while the Desert Tank is more suited just for lighter oil.

Question:

I think the Hammer raw is comparable to the Columbia 300 Beast. Is it or is the Raw a stronger ball. My house never puts out much oil so I’m looking for a ball that won’t over hook on dry so much.

6/19/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:

I think all three options are going to be pretty close. The Motiv Venom Recoil, Hammer Raw series and Columbia Beast series are all mid performance balls designed for medium to light oil. There are different versions of the Raw and Beast so depending on which coverstock you get on those you may get slightly different reactions and lengths.

Question:

How will the Motiv Fatal Venom compare to the Recoil on a typical house shot? The lanes tend to transition quickly with 8 bowlers on a pair.

6/19/2021 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:

On Motivs website they give 3 ratings to give you a good idea of the comparison. The Fatal Venom is Length:17 , Backend: 18, Hook: 52. The Venom Recoil is Length: 14, Backend: 17, Hook: 53.
