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 ball is easily becoming my new favorite big ball. It has been rolling so smoothly and consistently and just blows up the pocket. My first big symmetrical ball from Motiv since the Revolt Havoc and I just love watching this thing roll down the lane. This ball truly is FIRE and I know it will bring me some more big scores!

    Fantastic

    I seriously LOVE this ball. It had given me quite a few Honor scores and great sets. Won me some great money in a big tournament and in a few small ones. I love how it reacts of the break and gives me some room to miss a little, still making the pocket. Thank you again #motiv...

    Forge Fire

    The Motiv Forge Fire is amazing. Goes down the lane smooth and holds its line. It had amazing pin action just like the other Motiv balls. You don't have to adjust your line much is what I love about this ball. If you are looking for great products get Motiv and definitely get the Fire a must have.

    What A Ball

    Forge Fire:

    This Ball is amazingly good and STRONG... While looking for a suitable alternative to my Covert Revolt, I took a look at the numbers of the core and they are close to each other in that respect. Another similarity between the Forge Fire and the Covert Revolt is how smooth they are. From there that's where the fork in the road comes. I put basically the same layout in the Forge Fire thinking I'm going to get the same reaction and boy was I far off. The Core and Coverstock paired on the Forge Fire is totally different. You want something STRONG yet very much CONTROLLABLE? This is the ball for you. I can say I was taken back and a bit disappointed until I got some games on it. A little lane shine and a good track after 15 or so games and the ball has come alive. Now that's certainly different from when I got my Covert Revolt. I had to take it to 2k grit to get it to react more down lane. Few weeks later shooting 300 in league with it. Now back to the Forge Fire. Although it wasn't what I was looking for nor expected, I had to take a step back and analyzing what I have to here. A NEW Gem that is for those heavier volumes of oil. Where my Covert Revolt will not pick up in the mids due to age and the natural characteristics of the ball and my game, I have confidence in that this ball will dig in oil and give me the best look overall. Now with a greater understanding of what I have I'm a happy customer. Can't wait to get this ball out there in Vegas later in 2020 to see what it really can do. If you are thinking about pulling the trigger. DON'T.!!! HESITATE!!!

    Thank You for you time. #StayMOTIVated
