The new Forge™ Fire brings the heat to the medium-heavy oil Forge™ line.   Featuring the new Infusion™ Hybrid Reactive coverstock, the Forge™ Fire has a much faster response to friction than the original Forge™.  This eye popping low rg/high differential symmetrical piece is a must have for people looking to stand out and strike!

The Infusion™ coverstock, previously used on the RipCord is an incredibly angular hybrid shell.  Bowlers reported creating more angle with the Ripcord™ than any ball previously manufactured by MOTIV® Bowling.  Now, we are offering this shell with a much lower radius of gyration and a substantially higher differential using the Detonator™ core.  The combination of an angular cover with a fast-spinning, high differential core is a ball that can create angle in high concentrations of oil. 

Bowlers who are speed dominant will be able to use the Forge™ Fire to create angle when friction begins to develop.  This larger core in the Forge Fire allows speed dominant bowlers to see the shapes that other players have with high rg cores. Rev dominant players who like to create angle will be able to do so with this ball earlier in the block or on higher concentrations of oil than they can normally use fast responding coverstocks due to the added traction from high flare and control of a low RG core.  Balanced bowlers can expect the Forge™ Fire to perform best on medium-heavy oil patterns when they need to create angle, but cannot “ball down” into truly skid/flip bowling balls.

    Good secondary ball

    We all know that the shock is the best motiv ball ever. Having said that this is usually then next ball out of my bag. It gives great shape down the lane and is very contentious through the pins. This ball has saved me many times on league night.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Best transition ball.

    Transition in the two houses where I bowl league is always a challenge. One house uses a higher viscosity oil that pushes back but dries out in the fronts relatively fast, while the other gets some really odd puddles in the mid-lane during game two.

    This ball pushes through both with ease with the factory cover stock, and with very little adjustment to hand placement or movement of my feet.

    Consistency. The Forge Fire has it in spades. I was really sad to see it discontinued, but I'm very glad I got one before it did!

    Great Ball

    This ball was the sole reason I got back into bowling. Also is one of the reasons I swear by Motiv products from then on. Would totally recommend this ball for even the most seasoned bowler.

    Interesting roll

    It isn't a normal ball I would drill. However, this ball does great on the carry down! Definitely worth a purchase!

    Consistent GOLD

    Due to my high rev rate and speed it is difficult for me to match up to equipment. This is the first ball I have ever had that I can use for a 3 game set and not have to move much. Very consistent and predictable motion. I had to crack the cover with a 1000/3000 surface pads to tame the motion. But I love this ball and it’s always the first out of my bag!
