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.

    Versatile ball

    I've been able to use this ball from dry to long heavy patterns with great success. Very easy to control, yet finishes strong through the pins.

    Hits like a tank

    I love this ball. It has great mid lane read with powerful continuation on the back end. Without a doubt the first ball out of my bag.

    Ridiculous ball!

    Got the Villain Scorn for my comeback but I needed something with another kind of sting, and just in time this became my second ball in the bag. If I had this ball eight years ago I might've never quit in the first place! It has a good length but still works a bit earlier than the Scorn and goes without mercy on the pins. I can play very differently with these two and it brings diversity which is the key I think. And again, what a luck to have this ball arriving just when I needed it, both me and the pins are blown away. Big thanks to Motiv!

    I choose you

    The Forge Fire seems to not only amaze me on the lanes back end but many others. I wish the ball wasn’t so popular in good way. It’s a damn pin crusher. I guarantee this ball will work FOR you whether you’re a novice or an experienced bowler on any lane pattern. However Motiv has many balls that perform. This is why I only buy Motiv.

    Must Have Ball!

    I have been throwing Motiv for the past 2 years now, and have seen a big increase in average and consistency in my game. That being said, this new Forge Fire is quickly climbing the ladder and catching up to the Jackal Ghost as my favorite ball ever. It provides easy length through the fronts, yet is able to pick up well in the mids and has a gorgeous reaction on the backend that provides plenty of angle while not overreacting. I never have to worry about this ball making it back to the pocket from the outside. Last week I was able to shoot an 804 using only this ball all three games. I would recommend this ball to anyone. Motiv continues to outdo themselves with every release.
