Review:
The New Motiv Venom Shock is another fantastic ball by Motiv. The Shock MFS cover can be easily tuned to cover a wide range of lane conditions. I like the ball with box (4000) surface and 2000 Sai Air pad, but my favorite finish is box with Motiv Power Gel Polish. This ball has become my new benchmark ball and is a great ball to go to when my Covert Revolt is too much. The ball is angular but predictable and hits extremely hard. The Venom Shock drives through the pins and may be my best carry percent ball at this time. The Shock fits between my Revolt and Tribal in hook and motion. It is also a little less than my Sting. I really like the new Solid Cover stocks from Motiv, they seem to be a little easier to clean and maintain even after a lot of games are rolled on them. Motiv covers are very durable and I have not had to replace a cracked Motiv, ever.
We have used the new Venom Shock on many patterns and have had very good results. Although it will score on almost anything, it shines on a Typical House Shot due to the way it blends out the friction. The Shock will let you get away with some bad shots and still carry. We did the video on a flat, heavy pattern to show the continuation through the pins even with a lower rev rate.
The look of the ball is awesome! Customers are drawn to the colors and Logos and we made sure to put one on the front counter during Glow Bowl. The Snake Head really pops out! The retail price on this ball is very good. I feel you get more than you pay for with the Venom Shock.

Summary:
The Venom Shock is my favorite Venom so far.
The new Solid covers by Motiv are fantastic.
A great fit between the Revolt and Tribal
The Shock can be used on multiple patterns, cover tunes easily.
The Shock is a great ball at a great price.
