Be ready for some serious versatility with the new Motiv bowling release, the Forge Ember. I’ve throw it in multiple patterns now, everything from a house shot to some more difficult patterns and this baby passes with flying colors. When you need that control and predictability it’s there, I feel like this ball can be trusted on a wide variety of shots, it just seems to blend out the pattern no matter what your bowling on. Regardless of bowler style, this new ember will fit perfect for any bowler. As always it’s a beautiful looking ball that packs that pin deck punch we are all so used to from Motiv. Don’t miss out on getting one of these today.

When needing a new weapon for your arsenal, what better way is there to obtain one than to hit the forge? The MOTIV Forge Ember is the newest entry into the Forge line designed to combat Heavy/Medium-Heavy oil volumes while delivering the consistency known from these pieces. Wrapped around the trusty Detonator core (2.47 RG, .055 Differential) is the Infusion MXC Hybrid coverstock (2000 LSS), a fast-reacting cover system with some added teeth from previous releases.
As I have had great success with the Forge line in the past, I chose not to change my approach with this one and gave my Ember the taller-pin layout used on the others. While I was expecting the strongest iteration of the Forges yet, I did not foresee exactly how strong this one turned out to be. Even with the higher pin placement, the core and cover combo power the ball to read the midlane aggressively. This heavy-revving action creates quite a bit of control on the lane as I have yet to see a shot truly ‘squirm’ through to the breakpoint. The backend, as can be anticipated with the previous solid and hybrid Forges, is a predictable motion with enough roll to get through the pins with power. While using the Ember on my fresh house shot, I can start in a similar place as I would with my Trident Odyssey, but because of the hybrid coverstock, I can make several more moves left with it and still get the ball back to the pocket with energy. Once the transition occurs, and angles to the dry become steeper, you can still get to the pocket with this ball, but it would probably be best to step down to your Iron Forge or Pride Empire for the cleanliness and backend recovery power.
If you are needing a heavy-handed piece for your arsenal without fully giving way to heavy rolling action, the Forge Ember is a great direction to look.

Senior bowler, throwing 14# speed dominate. I’ve always had trouble with carry. I had it drilled with pin up and left the cover out of the box. Surprisingly with the 2000 surface it gets long and has plenty of hitting power. My average is in the mid 190s I haven’t had series under 612 since I got the ball three weeks ago I bowl three leagues a week . From a house hack with poor balance at the line it is my go to ball. First Motiv ball in about 12 years. I love it and thinking about adding some other pieces.

First time using the Forge Ember was last night. Was recommended this ball by the pro shop based on my stroke and the conditions. Threw my regular ball the first 2 games, and made the switch to start the 3rd. The Forge hooked strong on a heavier league pattern, great pin action carried out a stone 9 with a messenger and performed well the entire game for my 1st 300. Should have switched earlier, but now I'm not going back.

The Forge Ember uses a hybrid cover at a dull finish. This allows the Forge Ember to start relatively early and develop a smoother, more predictable roll. This is great for those who need a stronger piece but are a little more rev dominant.

Every ball is built to maximize consistency, control, and power—so you can focus on striking with precision.
