The all new Forge™ is the strongest symmetrical ball ever created by MOTIV®.   Born from the fires of the Revolt™, the Forge™ is built for a smooth motion on medium-heavy oil conditions.  Creating impressive control and outstanding continuation, casual bowlers will love the massive hook potential and competitive bowlers will appreciate the control.

The brand new Detonator™ weight block provides a low RG and high differential to create easy revs and massive amounts of flare.  Reverb™ outer core material surrounds the new Detonator™ core to provide explosive hitting power.

One of the strongest covers ever developed by MOTIV®, Coercion™ HFS provides traction in the heaviest of oil, a smooth response to friction, and outstanding continuation.  The Forge™ is tuned with a 3000 Grit LSS finish to complement the motion created by Coercion HFS reactive technology.

    Forge Review

    I had high expectations for this ball as I was looking for a heavier symmetric solid to add to my arsenal for fresh house or tournament shots. This ball did not let me down allowing me to move in and roll the mid lane friction to create an arc shape entry to get a different look at the pocket. So smooth yet strong and predictable. I would put this ball up against any similar choice on the market and watch it chew up the competition.

    Introducing the all new Motiv Forge, featuring the the never before seen Detonator Core and wrapped in the Coercion HFS cover. This is the strongest symmetrical ball I've ever thrown. It reminds me of a much stronger Venom Shock or Revolt Havoc.

    I find this ball to be great on a variety of patterns, and it’s become a sort of benchmark ball for me. I drilled mine 45x5.25x40, which is one of the weaker layouts I’ve ever used for something symmetrical.

    This ball excels anytime there’s free hook to the outside and a puddle in the middle, and with surface can be used to tame flatter shots with ease.

    The all new Forge is the strongest symmetric ball created by Motiv, to date. With the all new Detonator core, 2.47/0.055, it provides more track flare, and a smoother reaction to friction that you will love on fresh lane conditions to help blend the pattern out.
    The cover that is wrapped around this all new core is one of the strongest ever developed by Motiv, the "Coercion HFS" cover. This cover provides traction in the heaviest volumes and the box 3000 LSS surface compliments the early rolling tendencies of the core and cover combination.

    If you're looking for a lot of hook, suitable for a fresh lane patterns, the Forge is the ball you want

    The FORGE is the strongest symmetrical ball ever created by MOTIV bowling. This ball uses the Coercion HFS coverstock and at 3,000 LSS this ball is both smooth and strong at the same time. it has a RG of 2.47 and a DIFF of .055.

    This ball reads the lanes so well that it is the ball I am falling in love with the more I throw it. It gets to the pocket from just about anywhere on any pattern that I have tried it on. This ball drives through the pocket with power every single time.

    I have also witnessed this ball for different bowling styles be a great option. I bowled in a local tournament and at one time there were 4 of us throwing this ball, each of us playing a different part of the lane and the ball still carrying the corner pins. I highly recommend this ball for everyone.

    Looking Good

    So I recently received my MOTIV Forge a week ago, and let me tell you it's exactly as it's described in the videos and literature. It's very strong. Maybe a board or 2 weaker than my jackal gold. But it's much early and often. Meaning it reads the earlier part of the pattern and blends the pattern down lane. So if you are bowling on something where you need some control from a big hooking ball or bowling on a cliffed house shot this ball is exactly what you are looking for!
