Overview
Attacking light to medium oil is what the MOTIV Black Venom is built for, pairing a Gear APG asymmetric core with a Leverage MFS reactive coverstock. The cover reads the lane early and holds strong traction down lane.
Early read and strong traction on lighter oil are the reasons to buy for competitive bowlers. RG and differential are not given for this ball, and the description text describes a different Venom model.
Who it's for
Experienced bowlers who can put revs on an asymmetric core fit here. Newer bowlers should start with a milder reactive ball.
Pros and cons
- Asymmetric core for strong motion
- Early read on light oil
- Upgrade within the Venom line
- RG and differential not listed
- Description mixes in a different model
Performance notes
The asymmetric core sets how strongly the ball changes direction, and the non-pearl reactive cover grips the lane earlier on lighter oil. That pairing is what MOTIV credits for the early read and traction.
