Introducing the ice-cold devastation of the new Subzero Forge. This latest beast in the Forge line is a force of nature, combining the proven power of the Detonator core with the traction of Leverage MXC Solid Reactive coverstock. The outcome is inevitable: pins left shattered and your competition frozen in fear.  Embrace the cold and conquer the lanes with the Subzero Forge.

At the heart of the Subzero Forge is the Detonator core, a formidable combination of low RG and high differential. This dynamic duo offers unparalleled control and traction. The fast-spinning low RG provides unparalleled control, while the high differential delivers the raw strength needed to plow through the heaviest oil like a glacier carving its path. The Detonator is a proven winner, relentless on higher volumes of oil.

Paired with this powerful core is the Leverage MXC Solid coverstock, enhanced with the Duramax™ additive. This isn't just another coverstock; it's an incredibly strong surface that maintains its texture longer than any before. You'll feel the ice-cold precision of the Evoke, but with an updated ferocity that true MOTIV enthusiasts will recognize as the Forge Flare’s fierce evolution.

When to Use

Speed Dominant Bowlers- The speed dominant bowler will likely find the most frequent use of the Subzero Forge.  Bowlers who are always looking for something stronger and more controllable will love this new Forge.  The 2000 grit lss finish on the Leverage MXC solid cover will tear through the oil to provide easy hook for speed dominant players.

Balanced Bowlers - Bowlers whose revs and ball speed match will use the Subzero Forge on high volumes of oil, fresh patterns, and when control is of the utmost importance.  Balanced bowlers who compete in tournaments will love the Subzero Forge for their fresh oil ball on higher volume patterns.  Additionally, first shift high volume house shots can be tricky if your ball is not controllable.  The Subzero Forge is great in those situations for balanced bowlers.

Rev Dominant Bowlers - While balanced and speed dominant players often like to use asymmetrical bowling balls on higher volume and fresh oil patterns, many times rev dominant players struggle with those cores.  The Subzero Forge is as strong a ball as a rev dominant player may ever need, with the control of the quick revving symmetrical Detonator core.

    Now my favorite ball!

    Very strong ball that is the first ball out of my bag. Works very well for me in the oil, the DuraMax additive is terrific. Getting older and can't throw it like I used to. A 243 and a 232 before I had to put it away. Great Job, Motiv, this is the best of the Forges and I've had them all.

    Subzero Forge gave me my highest gave out of box

    This ball is great on all lane conditions if you know how to push it in the mid lane so you can give the ball as much oil as possible, the ball shines in heavy oil though, I'm a brand new bowler, and only started last month and was looking for my first high-end ball, and first game on dry lanes I bowled my new personal best of 200 and next day on wet lane conditions I bowled my first 5 strikes in a row, ball performs great. I had the ball have a lot of pin action and it hooked earlier than my other balls, 10/10 ball would recommend it if looking for a ball for heavier oil

    Subzero Forge Ball Review

    The Subzero Forge is the newest ball added to the Forge line. It has the Leverage MXC Solid reactive cover that controls and gives a great amount of traction on medium/heavy oil patterns and has the detonator core. The Subzero Forge creates a very strong smooth motion and is great for controlling patterns especially when the pattern calls for a strong smooth piece. This ball should fit the spot of the strongest solid in most bags of most arsenals. Designed for medium/heavy oil conditions, the Subzero Forge is going to be a piece to add for anyone looking for something stronger than Venom pieces and less than the Jackals. This piece is going to be a great ball to use on the fresh oil patterns and doesn’t shy away from letting you open up the pattern. I see this being in a ton of players bags considering how usable this ball is!

    Forge line doesn't disappoint

    The Forge line has been my favorite ever since I found Motiv. I was skeptical on this one to be honest I didn’t enjoy the Forge Flare so another forge with a super early cover wasn’t on my bingo card. With an open mind I threw it and was blown away on how early it rolled but retained enough energy to go threw the pins properly. It’s the only ball this season I have been able to use all three games in league. Huge credit to Motiv’s R&D team the addition of the Duramax additive must be the secret ingredient to this super strong cover.
