The new Motiv Venom Shock takes the proven Gear core and combines it with a new solid coverstock. The MFS (Medium Friction Solid) cover is a step down from the HFS shell that is on the Covert Revolt. This new cover comes out of the box at 4000 grit.

The Venom Shock was most successful on our medium test pattern. All three testers saw a great midlane read and a strong continuous motion from the breakpoint though the back end. None of the testers touched the finish on this pattern. We had just the right combination of length and hook
