Introducing the ice-cold devastation of the new Subzero Forge. This latest beast in the Forge line is a force of nature, combining the proven power of the Detonator core with the traction of Leverage MXC Solid Reactive coverstock. The outcome is inevitable: pins left shattered and your competition frozen in fear.  Embrace the cold and conquer the lanes with the Subzero Forge.

At the heart of the Subzero Forge is the Detonator core, a formidable combination of low RG and high differential. This dynamic duo offers unparalleled control and traction. The fast-spinning low RG provides unparalleled control, while the high differential delivers the raw strength needed to plow through the heaviest oil like a glacier carving its path. The Detonator is a proven winner, relentless on higher volumes of oil.

Paired with this powerful core is the Leverage MXC Solid coverstock, enhanced with the Duramax™ additive. This isn't just another coverstock; it's an incredibly strong surface that maintains its texture longer than any before. You'll feel the ice-cold precision of the Evoke, but with an updated ferocity that true MOTIV enthusiasts will recognize as the Forge Flare’s fierce evolution.

When to Use

Speed Dominant Bowlers- The speed dominant bowler will likely find the most frequent use of the Subzero Forge.  Bowlers who are always looking for something stronger and more controllable will love this new Forge.  The 2000 grit lss finish on the Leverage MXC solid cover will tear through the oil to provide easy hook for speed dominant players.

Balanced Bowlers - Bowlers whose revs and ball speed match will use the Subzero Forge on high volumes of oil, fresh patterns, and when control is of the utmost importance.  Balanced bowlers who compete in tournaments will love the Subzero Forge for their fresh oil ball on higher volume patterns.  Additionally, first shift high volume house shots can be tricky if your ball is not controllable.  The Subzero Forge is great in those situations for balanced bowlers.

Rev Dominant Bowlers - While balanced and speed dominant players often like to use asymmetrical bowling balls on higher volume and fresh oil patterns, many times rev dominant players struggle with those cores.  The Subzero Forge is as strong a ball as a rev dominant player may ever need, with the control of the quick revving symmetrical Detonator core.

    The best sym control ball I’ve ever thrown

    From any brand there is no better ball for control than the Subzero. You can hit it as hard as you want and it will not overreact. My favorite ball of all time.

    The Ball I've Been Looking For

    I've had my eye on the Subzero Forge for about a year, dragging my feet and rethinking my strategies until last month, when I finally bought one from my PSO. We've worked out a nice and smooth layout (42 x 4 3/8 x 57) that works pretty well with most balls, so holes were put into the SZF, and in a matter of 27 games in two leagues in different houses, I've averaged 261 in Game 1.

    My averages have jumped considerably, and while I should've shot at least three 300s if not for nerves and a bad break, respectively, I did shoot 800 on the dot using the SZF all three games (246, 279, 275). I normally match up well with symmetrical solids, but I never expected to have such an instant and consistent connection with a ball like the SZF. Miss a bit inside? No problem, carries. Swing it a little outside? Don't worry, carries. Just don't accidentally dump it out to the 3 board, it'll labor down lane and you'll shoot 287. Ask me how I know.

    Needless to say, I'm gonna need a crate. Might honestly get another and polish it just to see if it works better in Game 3 of league. This one's a real winner, I can't recommend it enough.

    First Motiv ball

    This ball has been impressive, it is my first Motiv ball and will not be the last! I was able to throw this ball with great consistency and helped me reach my highest 3 game score to date and has increased my average by almost 10 pins in 3 weeks.
