WARNING, this new Nuclear Forge is highly reactive! Witness the revolution of bowling dominance as the fiery glow of the Nuclear Forge bowling ball takes over the lanes. Creating a fusion of the proven Detonator core with new Propulsion HVP coverstock, the Nuclear Forge provides length through the front of the lane with electrifying backend motion. Brace yourself for the arrival of a ball so explosive, it redefines what’s possible.


Motiv Bowling's pearl coverstocks are not just a game-changer; they're an absolute force! From Santtu Tahvanainen's mind-blowing World Series of Bowling triumph with the Supra Rally to EJ Tackett's thrilling TV 300 achieved with the ExJ VIP Sigma, Motiv has cemented its authority as the ultimate force in pearl resin mastery.


Following the success of the Propulsion coverstock on the PBA Tour, MOTIV R&D set out to create a Propulsion cover that could handle higher concentrations of oil. The new Propulsion HVP cover on the Nuclear Forge is that cover. This Propulsion High Volume Pearl cover has more traction in oil than Propulsion DRS, but with the same technology at its base. This dynamic pearl coverstock is the pinnacle of MOTIV's expertise!

The Detonator core pulses with energy inside the Motiv Nuclear Forge bowling ball. This highly stable core fuses a fast-spinning, low RG design with high differential strength. This combination provides the incredible control from the low RG, and when the high differential comes into play, it delivers unmatched traction and brute force.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed dominant Bowlers: The Nuclear Forge is a pearl with a strong enough core for speed dominant bowlers to use when creating angle down lane is necessary.  The combination of a high volume pearl cover and a low rg/high differential core means speed dominant bowlers can trust that their ball will still create shape when most pearls just can’t.
  • Balanced Bowlers: For balanced bowlers the Nuclear Forge is the first symmetrical pearl out of the bag.  When transition hits and these bowlers are forced to find some help through the front, the Nuclear Forge is a great solution.  The strong pearl cover can still handle moderate to medium heavy volumes of oil while providing ample down lane motion.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers: On higher friction surfaces rev dominant players are so often forced into pearl covers to start their block.  The fast revving, big flaring Detonator core will help rev dominant bowlers have some control while still creating the angle through the front that their physical game demands of them. 

If you think you can handle the reactivity of this bowling ball, then pick yours up today here at Motiv Bowling. We want to take your bowling game to the next level, so be sure to choose us when it’s time to invest in some new bowling balls or bowling accessories!

    Exploded out of the box

    I used the Nuclear Forge for the first time in league play earlier this week, switching to it midway through game 2 after starting with the Jackal Ambush for 238. The Ambush seemed to be rolling out a bit -- back-to-back weak 10s -- so I made the change. It definitely was the right move as I ended game 2 with 216 and finished with 258, leaving only a shaker 4 and a stone 7 before a stone 10 on the final shot. The Nuclear Forge performed exactly as I had hoped it would -- revved up nicely but retained its power into the pins!

    My favorite Forge

    The Forge line has been incredible for me from the very start. I was always a fan of the Forge Fire and more recently, the Iron Forge. The Nuclear Forge has already taken over as my favorite. The Detonator™ core is strong enough for heavier oil patterns or a fresh house shot and the Propulsion HVP Pearl cover stock has allowed for me to move left through the day and open up the lanes but maintain the down lane motion needed. The Nuclear Forge is in my opinion, thee BEST option for anyone who bowls league or tournaments because it allows for many different bowling styles to have versatility with one ball.

    Nuclear Forge - These new pearl covers are game changers!

    This ball is a fast spinning low RG/high differential ball featuring the Propulsion HVP Pearl cover designed to handle the oil. This combo helps me get a pearl cover into my hands much quicker in high volume and longer patterns. For me, the fronts can get beat up pretty quickly on longer pattern but when I 'ball down" I don't quite have enough ball to shape properly and carry out the corners. The Nuclear Forge has no problem down lane for me and will be going into my bag ASAP! These new pearls from Motiv are game changers and you will want to get them in your hands as soon as possible!

    MOTIV FORGE NUCLEAR

    PIN TO PAP: 5 & 1 UP

    The Detonator core returns in the new Forge Nuclear with an improved Propulsion HVP Pearl cover. The combination of low RG and high Diff gives a look in more oil like non other. The Propulsion cover will handle more oil volumes than most pearl covers. The fast spinning core will benefit those looking for control.
    I don't throw many pearls on fresh oil especially on THS due to the over/under reaction you see many times, but the Nuclear has impressed me beyond belief. This pearl is something special.
    For speed dominant bowlers the Nuclear will impress when the need arises to create angles.
    For balanced bowlers this will be the first Sym Pearl out of your bag when transition occurs.
    For rev dominant the big core will create massive flare giving you the control you need.

    The shelf appeal of this ball is impressive to say the least. The colors are amazing.
