The new Forge™ Fire brings the heat to the medium-heavy oil Forge™ line. Featuring the new Infusion™ Hybrid Reactive coverstock, the Forge™ Fire has a much faster response to friction than the original Forge™. This eye popping low rg/high differential symmetrical piece is a must have for people looking to stand out and strike!

The Infusion™ coverstock, previously used on the RipCord is an incredibly angular hybrid shell. Bowlers reported creating more angle with the Ripcord™ than any ball previously manufactured by MOTIV® Bowling. Now, we are offering this shell with a much lower radius of gyration and a substantially higher differential using the Detonator™ core. The combination of an angular cover with a fast-spinning, high differential core is a ball that can create angle in high concentrations of oil.

Bowlers who are speed dominant will be able to use the Forge™ Fire to create angle when friction begins to develop. This larger core in the Forge Fire allows speed dominant bowlers to see the shapes that other players have with high rg cores. Rev dominant players who like to create angle will be able to do so with this ball earlier in the block or on higher concentrations of oil than they can normally use fast responding coverstocks due to the added traction from high flare and control of a low RG core. Balanced bowlers can expect the Forge™ Fire to perform best on medium-heavy oil patterns when they need to create angle, but cannot “ball down” into truly skid/flip bowling balls.

Best hybrid I've thrown

I drilled mine to handle squirrely patterns or breakdown. Great through the front and angular in the back without overreacting!

About Me I first bowled in 2016 when I was still in the army. I haven’t bowled again since then until September of 2023 and I fell in love with the sport instantly.

I love this ball! I bowled my very first ever 200+ game with it. It very quickly became my favorite ball in my arsenal without a doubt. I highly recommend this ball to anyone.

Forgot how much I like this ball....

For me this is the biggest ball in my arsenal but conditions need to be just right to use it. That being said I like to throw it now and then, WHAT A BEAST, always amazes me how much I love this ball.

My Favorite MOTIV of All-Time

This ball is ALWAYS the first ball out of my bag. It has gone to every tournament that I have ever gone to and is always the first out for practice. The motion is super predictable and gives a general reading of the lanes, whether it be on a THS or on a sport/tournament pattern. I love this ball and everything it brings to the table.
