Review:
The New Motiv Venom Toxin turns heads with its great color. This is a sweet rolling ball on dry to medium dry lanes. Bowlers can trust the Gear Core for forgiveness and hit. The ball has good length due to the cover but the core keeps away any over / under problems.
This ball works well on dry lanes. The core and cover match allows the ball to read early enough to be predictable and the shell allows bowlers to manage their breakpoint with ease. The lower flare potential also helps eliminate over reactions. The ball hits and carries surprisingly well for a lesser hooking ball. The ball was stronger than my Ascent Pearl but alot less than the Thrash Frenzy. The Venom Toxin will probably replace my Ascent Pearl on dry because I get a little more hook and a more even roll which I prefer. I think Motiv has nailed the surface prep for the motion they where trying to achieve on this ball. I get a lot of very positive reactions about the great color of this ball. Rolls great, looks great!
Summary:
Length with predictable motion.
Excellent hit and carry.
A great ball for dry lanes.
Motiv continues to build a great lineup.
This is an excellent first reactive ball for someone or
a great addition to a tournament arsenal.
