The Steel Forge is built upon the Detonator core. This fast-revving, symmetrical core combines a low RG and high Differential to create unparalleled strength and speed. This core features the raw strength needed to create extreme angle, even on heavier volumes of oil.
The same Propulsion MXV Pearl cover found on the asymmetrical Evoke Hysteria is now available on a symmetrical ball. This time, it’s fine tuned for more angle. When combined with a 5000 grit LSS finish, the Steel Forge creates length without sacrificing down-lane motion. It’s clean, angular, and unstoppable. The Steel Forge is a weapon that doesn’t back down!
For bowlers with exceptional ball speed or lower rpm’s, the Steel Forge should be a great ball for late in league night, second shift, and higher friction environments. Speed dominant bowlers have the advantage of being able to use stronger cores than the rev dominant bowlers in the same environment much of the time. The clean and angular Propulsion MXV Pearl cover will offer enough pop down lane on friction, while the fast revving Detonator core should be strong enough to give substantial motion to the speed dominant bowler.
Balanced bowlers who love the Evoke Hysteria will love having the Steel Forge to go to when the Hysteria is just a bit too early or smooth. Balanced bowlers will be able to use the Steel Forge when they start to really create angle on the lane and need a faster response to friction. The substantial flare offered by the Steel Forge gives enough traction in oil, but without sacrificing too much downlane motion.
The crankers and two handers will love their ability to use the Steel Forge to create angle and substantial shape on the lane. The Propulsion MXV Pearl is deliberately quite versatile, as proven last year on the PBA Tour. Many rev dominant players on tour were able to use this shell even on fresh with some surface and layout adjustments. Look for the Steel Forge to be useful even in early transition for rev dominant players.
After bowling with this ball I’m convinced that this is one of the most angular but yet consistent balls I own to date. I love everything about this ball. This will stay in the arsenal even after being discontinued.

Out of the box finish was a bit too smooth so I used a 2000 abralon pad - what a difference! House shot for league - it stored plenty of punch on the backend and I had room if it went a bit wide or a little inside...this ball gives me 220+ scores almost every game. My first experience with Motiv, I'm anxious to try it in tournaments.

This isy first Motiv but not my last. This ball is as advertised. Slides through the heads and quickly revs up to create a strong yet controlled hook.

So I tried this ball out when Motiv came to my local lanes for Demo Day. At first I had to use the 14lbs ball, as the 15lbs ball was already being used. I proceeded to shoot 8 in a row with it. Then, when the 15lbs ball was available and I used it, I shot another 6 in a row. This ball is unbelievable. Being a speed dominant bowler, I needed a ball like this that read early and gives consistent hits in the pocket. I purchased it on the spot and I use it more for house shots or early on a Sport/PBA pattern.

Ball movement is so smooth going down lane and crushes the pocket every time. I get so many compliments from this ball from the movement to the sound of it hitting the pins. Love this ball!
