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.

    A great compliment to the original Forge!

    The original Forge is a great ball for heavier oil when you want a smooth, round, predictable shape. It has bailed me out of a lot of tough situations since it was released. The Forge Fire takes that rolly core that was on the original Forge, but puts the same hybrid coverstock on it that was on the RipCord. The result is a ball that has the ability to read the pattern well, but gives you more length and more flip on the backend to help maximize your carry. If you liked the Forge and want something to compliment it when you move left, or even if you didn't think the Forge would have been good for you because you wanted more flip in your higher-end ball, then the Forge Fire is definitely something you'll want to look at. It's had great success on the PBA Tour as well. Plus that awesome bright yellow!!!

    I have put together a YouTube video review of the Forge Fire, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v-mvlE5KOw

    Awesome!!!!!!

    This ball has far surpassed my expectations. It’s so adaptable and versatile. I thought my Abyss was good but in my opinion this ball is better.

    Go to ball!!

    Had one drilled up. Threw one game after league and was kicking myself I didn't use it earlier. The ball is real smooth with a punch at the end. It's my new favorite ball.

    Great Ball

    I recently picked up the Forge Fire. When I drilled it, I kept it Out of Box finish and threw it on dry lanes. The ball created angle for me even playing deep. I did play on fresh oil after and found that the ball at OOB would slide if I got my speed too high. I adjusted from OOB to 2000 and the ball does not have that problem anymore. I love this ball and it will become my bench mark ball when I go to tournaments.

    I don't have this ball but there are only good reviews and I'm sure I'm about to get it in just a few weeks! I've noticed this ball creates strong angular motion. Low RG and high diff in a hybrid coverstrock is all I am looking for. #forgefire
