Saw on FB that it's coming?

What is the difference between this and the Panic?  Not a fan of the Panic. 

Venom Panic = Old crappy Motiv.

Everything after Primal Rage = better Motiv.

Venom Panic came out after the Primal Rage. I believe Toxin and Strike were only Venoms released before - and I found both to be good balls. Panic was probably the worst of the series though.

I still can't find where you guys found this ball on Facebook. Any tips?

The posts got deleted as the information was "leaked" When the PBA picks up again here soon you'll see all sorts of stuff come out, the Pros will have them and likely another release during the PBA events coming up end of the month and in February

Motiv is trying to keep it quiet as to not ruin the hype around the Jackal Rising release.

At least I won't have to tell my wife I'm getting this ball. I don't need a ball like this.

My bad.  I mixed up the Remix date with the original.

One thing Motiv has had a hard time with is the ever-so-popular skid snap reaction.  The Primal Rage was close but even it wasn't "Storm"-like.  I personally don't match up great with the severe skid-snap look, but know of many that do.  This is why I have liked Motiv in the past.

Unfortunately, a polished Venom Shock is the strongest ball in my bag followed by a Hustle Ink that rolls out and an original Purple Rhino Pro.  Since it seems I have a fetish for blue-ish/purple-ish bowling balls I will have to get this one.

Is your Ink also polished? As noted, I have not had both in 14. I do have the Ink in 14. Didn't know if the Ink would be stronger or weaker. My Ink was extremely skid/flip out of box. Took the shine off and down to 3000 and much smoother. I had two Shocks in 15. One 3000 + light polish with motion hole and the other drilled stronger and kept around 2000. The mh one was great on the house shot. Great combo on a lot of sport shots.

Looks like cobra and carbon are gone

Yeah can pick up the Cobra for $100 right now.  Tempting but Honey Badger occupies that spot in arsenal.
