The most sought after crossover in MOTIV® history is here with the introduction of the Primal™ Shock! Combining two of MOTIV®’s greatest releases, the Primal Rage and Venom Shock, the Primal Shock takes the best of both balls to create something truly special. Turmoil MFS cover technology from the Venom Shock and the Impulse V2 core from the Primal Rage combine to provide strong mid-lane traction with plenty of angle down lane. The Primal Shock dominates medium to heavy oil conditions, offering a vast array of options to attack the lanes. This is a can’t miss combination that bowlers have been asking for since 2013!

Turmoil MFS technology has been a benchmark for MOTIV, providing moderate mid-lane traction with plenty of down lane motion. Featured in the longest running MOTIV ball of all time, the Venom Shock, this cover perfectly balances control and aggression. This is the pinnacle of benchmark ball motion.

The Primal Shock takes the ultimate benchmark ball motion found in the Venom Shock and amps up performance by pairing it with the strong Impulse V2 core found in the Primal Rage. This core creates incredibly strong down-lane motion and marks a significant upgrade in overall core strength from the Gear core found in the Venom Shock. When paired with the Turmoil MFS cover, the result is a medium-heavy and moderately angular monster that is a must have in every bag.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - Many speed dominant bowlers are unable to use balls with differentials as low as the Venom Shock. A more dynamic core allows these bowlers to use the same cover stock, but with a motion that suits them. The Primal Shock will be a moderately angular complement to a speed dominant bowler’s benchmark ball. This will be an outstanding first transition ball for bowlers with excessive speed or lower rev rates.
  • Balanced Bowlers - The Venom Shock is a balanced bowler’s dream. It’s been the benchmark ball for those bowlers for years now and will continue to be. Over the years, many balanced bowlers have said that they’d like a more angular Venom Shock and one that could create more down lane motion. The Primal Shock is that ball.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - The highest rev rate and lowest speed bowlers will use the Primal Shock on fresh oil and high volume patterns when they need to create some angle. Before the rev dominant players can get all the way into the angular pearls, a Primal Shock will allow for easy mid-lane read and moderate angle to start opening up their angles on transitioning lanes.

    great upper benchmark

    Layout 50x5x40
    So if you want a stronger yet similar "shock" ball, well here it is. I can say this is a great ball for multiple patterns. can use it on fresh house, through an entire set, as well as patterns like nationals. At most places I go to, that I am not that familiar with, I of course start with the Venom Shock, to see what it out there. If I need more, the step up is this ball. Has great effortless mid-lane roll, with controllable, continuous backend. One of those balls that should be in your tournament bag, right next to the Venom.

    First ball and the best ball

    I bought this ball my freshman year of high school and have had it ever since. I have won my school a few bowling titles with this ball. I have also won a few tournaments with it as well. This ball is my go to ball whether the lanes are dry or super oily, this ball helps me every single time to claim a win.

    SMASH FACTOR 100

    The Primal Shock is my new league night benchmark. 279 game 1 right out of the box. This ball goes a little further down lane and has more backend snap than my Venom Shock. Little more angular than the Venom Shock. The SMASH FACTOR is off the charts. The Primal Shock hits harder than any ball on the market.

    Great ball

    I bought my Primal four months ago was averaging in the low 180s which is not good for me But was coming back from an injury that took me out of bowling for 14 weeks. Over the last eight weeks I have been averaging 212. The ball hits like a tank I can swing it or tug it and it holds. Great bowling ball. I love using it.

    Everything I wanted and more...

    I am a long time fan of the Venom Shock. I've been throwing the Venom Shock regularly since 2018. When this ball released, it peaked my interest because the cover on the Venom Shock is so versatile and seemed to match up well with me, but I was a little hesitant to grab it since I didn't use my Primal Rage LE very much. I decided that I needed to add a bowling ball with a bigger backend motion to combat oil carry down. The reviews on the Primal Shock have been so positive that I decided to go ahead and get one drilled up. This ball is absolutely fantastic. I left it at the factory surface setting, and it glides through the front part of the lane and makes a big motion off the breakpoint. Carry has been excellent and it's giving me the exact motion I need when my T10, Pride Dynasty, or Venom Shock aren't enough on the back end.
