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.

    Forge Fire

    This one is something special! It features a continuation of the Infusion Hybrid Reactive coverstock that was seen on the RipCord. It provides a more angular motion and quicker response to friction. This coverstock teamed up with the Forge Fire’s symmetric weight block brings a new look compared to the previous Forge. For me, the Forge was a much earlier ball and something I could use to start on medium-heavy oil patterns. The Forge Fire is my transition ball when friction starts to develop and before I need to go to something weaker.

    Forge Fire

    The Forge Fire is the first ball I was able to drill up and it sure made a huge impact on me. I drilled my Forge Fire 65x5x35. The biggest thing I love the most about this ball is how predictable the motion is for me. In league I am able to start with this ball and even through transition, I can keep moving left and throw this ball all 3 games and not lose any momentum. This is a benchmark ball for me in my bag and I will not go anywhere without it. I highly recommend getting this ball in your bag!

    The Forge Fire

    The layout I used on the Forge Fire is 50x4 3/4x35. This ball will catch peoples' eyes going down the lane! The colors are not the only thing unique about this ball. I was very pleased with how much recovery I had down lane with my misses. This ball is the first ball out of my bag for league on medium to heavier oil house shots. I have always been a fan of lower RG balls with higher diffs. The Forge Fire takes surfaces adjustments really well. I prefer to keep mine at 2000 to make it a little smoother.
