Venom Recoil

Item Number: MTVBVROOS

56 Read Reviews

(Retired 10/28/2021)

The Venom line is getting a power upgrade with the new Venom Recoil. This is the first asymmetric Venom ever released by MOTIV and it features the new Gear APG (Asymmetric Performance Gain) weight block.

Because the balance-hole rule has changed, MOTIV created the asymmetric Gear APG weight block to give ball drillers more layout versatility when no balance-hole is used.

The original Venom Shock provides incredible performance at a very affordable price and this new asymmetric Venom Recoil is no different. This ball offers massive value!

    Motiv Venom Recoil Review

    The Venom Recoil is a real bang for its buck offering a ton of hook potential at its price point. I drilled mine 50x6x70 to help keep it smoother down lane and on the rolly side. Compared to my Shock it’s a tad earlier. Even with a smoother layout it still has some pop down lane. For me It fits in between the Shock Solid and the Forge really well. If you really like the venom series you’re not going to want to miss this one! With the new asymmetric weight block it brings a strong Controllable motion that will fit for almost every pattern

    Insane Venom Series Addition

    Let me start out by staying if you are a venom series believer snag up one of these come 3/20/2019. I’ve thrown the whole venom series to this point, the OG venom shock and the VSP being the choices, that is until now. This recoil is a monster complement to the series, where the shock would pick up an earlier roll for me, this ball gets farther downlane with such great continuation through the pins it’s insane. Adding the asymmetric core to a venom was such a great move by Motiv. Do yourself a favor and pick up at recoil, you won’t regret the decision. Motiv keeps raising the bar in bowling technology with every release.

    Venom Recoil Review

    The new Venom Recoil is a great addition to the Venom line. The new gear asymmetrical core in this beast allows the ball to handle a little more volume then the original shock. This ball is clean through the heads and has a smooth, archy motion once it sees friction. The core allows the ball to maintain some of the angular traits that the original Shock had. The Recoil is a very versatile ball for league bowling where most shots have a lot of friction. At this price point it’s a massive value that should be in every Motiv fans bag. I highly recommend this new weapon.

    Venom Recoil Review

    Review:

    The new Venom Recoil is the newest release from MOTIV Bowling. The Venom line has stood the test of time and just keeps getting better and better. For the first time, MOTIV as design an asymmetrical core in the MOTIV line to coincide with the new rule changes that are coming from USBC to give ball drillers more versatility in drilling. The Venom Recoil brings the new Gear APG asymmetrical core and the Coercion MFS Reactive cover stock, The Recoil gives a similar shape and performance as the original Venom Shock. If you love the Shock, then the Recoil will be another wonderful piece in your bag.

    Comments:

    I got one word for the new Venom Recoil, WOW! Out of the box I shot a nice 825 in my Wednesday league and was just blown away with the performance of the new Recoil. The recoil gives me the same shape as the Shock, but I feel I can keep my angles straighter, especially when transition is starting to hook because from what I see it’s just a tad slower off the spot then the shock so I don’t have to give away the pocket. But I can also open up my angles was well, therefore the versatility of the Recoil is quite similar to the shock and its nice that when you need a nice asymmetrical bowling ball but you don’t want to pay high performance price, the Recoil is yours to have. All styles will love the Recoil because as the similar shape to the Shock on any condition.

    Likes: Smooth ball motion; even back end and continuation through the pins; Versatile

    Dislikes: None

    I recommend the Venom Recoil for all types of bowlers.

    Asymmetric Venom!!!

    The Venom line just got some new power with the Venom Recoil.   Featuring the new Gear APG (Asymmetric Performance Gain) weight block this Light-Meduim ball is very impressive.  With the upcoming balance-hole rule change, MOTIV created the asymmetric weight block to give ball drillers more layout versatility when no balance-hole is used.  Wrapping this ball with the Coercion MFS (medium friction solid) reactive cover stock, you have a ball which has gives you awesome performance at a great value.  I see this ball getting lots of use in both league and tournament play!  You will want to pick up one or two of these for your bag!
