The Forge™ Ember is the newest performance hybrid from Motiv Bowling.  Built to generate more friction than previous hybrids, the Forge™ Ember combines technology from two very different coverstock systems to deliver a new brand of motion.  Bowlers will find increased strength in the oil without sacrificing down lane motion.  More down lane motion means that the Forge™ Ember will be useful for a longer window during competition.

Inside the Forge™ Ember is the Detonator™ core. The Detonator™ is a stable and strong combination of low RG with high differential.  The fast spinning low RG provides control while the high differential gives traction and strength.  The fast revving Detonator™ is a proven winner on higher volumes of oil. 

Wrapped around the Detonator™ core is the Infusion™ MXC Hybrid Reactive cover.  As already mentioned, this cover combines two very different shells to provide a unique shape.  Traditionally, the most angular motions from MOTIV® were generated using the Infusion™ coverstock system.  Conversely, the coverstocks with the MXC distinction were those with the most mid-lane traction and control.  When combined, bowlers should see significant traction in the oil with more down lane motion than is normally expected from such a strong cover.  

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed dominant Bowlers: The Forge Ember will serve as an outstanding benchmark ball for bowlers who are speed dominant.  Bowlers with higher speed and/or lower rev rates need more traction on the lane, but for a benchmark still need some down lane motion.  The Forge Ember will provide the reliability and versatility needed from a benchmark or lane reader ball in the bag of a speed dominant player. 
  • Balanced Bowlers:  Balanced bowlers will use the Forge Ember on higher volume or longer oil patterns and lower friction surfaces when their go-to ball is just a bit too weak to make it back to the pocket.  When the massive asymmetrical balls are too strong or too forward down lane, but the benchmark pieces just can not hook enough, the Forge Ember fits perfectly into the void. 
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers: For many Rev Dominant bowlers the Forge Ember will be the strongest symmetrical ball they ever need.  Many rev dominant players prefer symmetrical pieces, but there are few with covers strong enough to use on high volumes of oil and fresh patterns.  The most rev dominant bowlers will use the Forge Ember as the first ball in their progression on high concentrations of oil.

    Wow what a flare monster

    I was blown away by this peace I have bought every Forge ball that has hit. Love the motion but this Ember is special. I give a big thumbs up to Motiv staff. I am able to play up the track. I can also stand 25 to 8 and still continue through the pocket. I highly recommended adding this to your bags. I have talked all my friends into buying this one. Thank you Motiv nation

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Absolutely amazing!

    I got comfortable with this ball as fast as any ball I've ever thrown in my life. I threw it last night the first frame off the press and the five other guys I was bowling with at the same time said "wow". This ball definitely has that wow factor to it. Digs early but still shapes and continues in the oil without that snow tire feel. This new mxc hybrid reactive cover is something special and I expect it's going to be a Motiv mainstay for a very long time.

    Forge Ember - Strong Hybrid that can handle the oil!

    The Forge Ember is a medium heavy oil hybrid which is strong in the mid lane and has a new motion you will want in your bag! It features the low RG symmetric Detonator core found on the OG Forge, but features a brand new Infusion MXC Hybrid cover stock that will impress. The Ember combines the covers found in the Forge Flare & Iron Forge giving you plenty of traction in the oil and angular motion on the back. This ball fits perfectly for me when my big asymmetrical cores are too strong and to forward but there is still enough oil where I need a strong core/cover to create angle to strike. You will want to pick one up today!

    Strong

    The Forge Ember is a nice addition to this line. With the hybrid cover gives you clean through the fronts and digs through heavier oil conditions with plenty of continuation.

    The line on fire!!

    The brand new Forge Ember may be one of the best balls I’ve thrown straight out of the box. As someone who has enjoyed the Forge line, especially with the Iron Forge being my favorite ball in the bag, the Forge Ember exceeded my expectations. The Infusion MXC Hybrid cover stock with the Detonator core is perfect for above benchmark reaction. I’ve been throwing this ball on heavier/longer oil patterns as well during league when I need a little more hook! It has impressed me from the first shot I threw with it! Don’t miss out on this one.
