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.
First ball out of the bag and I can always rely on thus ball to give me constant reliable motion through the pins, shot 300 with this ball.

I am a big fan of the forge line from the very beginning. This ball is the second cleanest ball in the lineup just behind the primal Rage. I really enjoy this piece as the core revs up with ease and the cover gives plenty of recovery to play any angle. If you love the forge line this should be in your bag.

The brand new Steel Forge combines new performance with a throwback look that is unmatched. Bringing back the color scheme of the Revolt Vengeance, the new combination of the Detonator core with the Propulsion MXV Pearl cover stock creates an incredible addition to the Motiv lineup. Throwing this ball on both some longer sport patterns and a league pattern, it has shown its versatility. My biggest takeaway from this ball is that it offers more overall strength than any other pearl Forge we have made but also creates a consistent shape that fits perfectly above the Primal Rage Evolution and right under the Jackal line. If you bowl league or need a ball that offers more strength than expected, pick up a Steel Forge!

This one is already so good!
Super clean, but manages to retain so much power down lane, and never felt like it lost its bite.
The continuation on this one is insane! I always feel like I had miss room to the right.

Lets take a closer look at the all-new Steel Forge from Motiv! Featuring the fast-revving Detonator core (low RG, high differential) and wrapped in the responsive Propulsion MXV Pearl coverstock (also seen on the Hysteria), this ball brings strong midlane read and explosive backend motion — perfect for medium to heavier oil conditions.
