The most sought after crossover in MOTIV® history is here with the introduction of the Primal™ Shock! Combining two of MOTIV®’s greatest releases, the Primal™ Rage and Venom™ Shock, the Primal™ Shock takes the best of both balls to create something truly special. Turmoil™ MFS cover technology from the Venom™ Shock and the Impulse™ V2 core from the Prima™l Rage combine to provide strong mid-lane traction with plenty of angle down lane. The Primal™ Shock dominates medium to heavy oil conditions, offering a vast array of options to attack the lanes. This is a can’t miss combination that bowlers have been asking for since 2013!

Turmoil™ MFS technology has been a benchmark for MOTIV®, providing moderate mid-lane traction with plenty of down lane motion. Featured in the longest running MOTIV® ball of all time, the Venom™ Shock, this cover perfectly balances control and aggression. This is the pinnacle of benchmark ball motion.

The Primal™ Shock takes the ultimate benchmark ball motion found in the Venom™ Shock and amps up performance by pairing it with the strong Impulse™ V2 core found in the Primal™ Rage. This core creates incredibly strong down-lane motion and marks a significant upgrade in overall core strength from the Gear™ core found in the Venom™ Shock. When paired with the Turmoil™ MFS cover, the result is a medium-heavy and moderately angular monster that is a must have in every bag.

When to Use: 
Speed Dominant Bowlers - Many speed dominant bowlers are unable to use balls with differentials as low as the Venom™ Shock. A more dynamic core allows these bowlers to use the same cover stock, but with a motion that suits them. The Primal™ Shock will be a moderately angular complement to a speed dominant bowler’s benchmark ball. This will be an outstanding first transition ball for bowlers with excessive speed or lower rev rates.

Balanced Bowlers - The Venom™ Shock is a balanced bowler’s dream. It’s been the benchmark ball for those bowlers for years now and will continue to be. Over the years, many balanced bowlers have said that they’d like a more angular Venom™ Shock and one that could create more down lane motion. The Primal™ Shock is that ball.

Rev Dominant Bowlers - The highest rev rate and lowest speed bowlers will use the Primal™ Shock on fresh oil and high volume patterns when they need to create some angle. Before the rev dominant players can get all the way into the angular pearls, a Primal™ Shock will allow for easy mid-lane read and moderate angle to start opening up their angles on transitioning lanes.
