The all new Forge™ is the strongest symmetrical ball ever created by MOTIV®.   Born from the fires of the Revolt™, the Forge™ is built for a smooth motion on medium-heavy oil conditions.  Creating impressive control and outstanding continuation, casual bowlers will love the massive hook potential and competitive bowlers will appreciate the control.

The brand new Detonator™ weight block provides a low RG and high differential to create easy revs and massive amounts of flare.  Reverb™ outer core material surrounds the new Detonator™ core to provide explosive hitting power.

One of the strongest covers ever developed by MOTIV®, Coercion™ HFS provides traction in the heaviest of oil, a smooth response to friction, and outstanding continuation.  The Forge™ is tuned with a 3000 Grit LSS finish to complement the motion created by Coercion HFS reactive technology.

    Motiv’s new Forge! This ball is our strongest symmetrical ball ever and I can really attest to that! I really appreciate how smooth and strong this ball is. It features the brand new Detonator weight block and the Coerceion shell, providing low RG/high diff and massive flare. This ball is outstanding when you need something strong and controllable. I use this on medium patterns or when high volume patterns dry up a little and the big asymmetrical balls are too much. Order yours today! #getMOTIVateD

    Forged from fire and built to hook!!

    The Detonator core has a low radius of gyration and when it's pared with a higher differential you can get larger track flares plus a really smooth response when it reads the friction. The Coercion HFS cover grips in heavy oil and has outstanding continuation.

    I decided to drill this the exact same as my Venom Shock(60x30x5). The Venom Shock has been a great benchmark ball because of it being faster through the front part of the lane for me and now with the Forge being stronger upfront and a bit slower down lane, when I open up my angles, I don't see the ball over hook when touching friction. I like the out of the box finish because it's slower through the front part of the lane and still has the energy to get back to the pocket. This ball compliments my Venom Shock and I am very pleased with its performance.

    I recommend this to a friend for sure.

    Big Symmetrical Piece

    Motiv Bowling introduces the Forge. Featuring a brand new core, the Detonator Core, wrapped with the Coercion HFS(High Friction Solid) coverstock, the Forge is a very strong and continuous symmetrical ball.

    As I started to throw this ball, I could immediately see how this ball is compared to the Revolt Havoc. It provides that same smooth, consistent shape that fans of the Havoc will remember. It is clean through the heads but gets into a very heavy mid lane roll. The difference between the two balls is noticeable however. This ball clearly has more down lane than my Havoc ever did. Where my Havoc had a tendency to flat 10 this ball rips through the pocket.

    This is a ball I can see me using once my Trident Abyss starts losing energy. On sport/tournament patterns this ball will really help you control the lane front to back without having to open up your angles too much.

    All I can say is WOW!

    I drilled this ball with the pin in the ring finger and let me tell you that this ball is very versatile on all patterns. I rolled the Forge on the viper oil pattern as soon as I drilled it and shot an 1100 for 5 games. The Forge responded to the condition perfectly. The next night I bowled in league and shot 750. (TPHS). No surface changes, I stayed with it the whole night. This ball will be with me every where I bowl!!!!!

    Super round and amazing continuation!!!

    This ball has won me over in every way! Extremely strong cover from the Trident Abyss and a brand new early rolling high flaring core to make our strongest Symmetric ball ever! This ball drives through the pins like a monster, is super round, and is the perfect step down from when the Abyss loses a little too much energy. This ball is just great in all aspects! It's great on every lane condition, strong enough for long, blends the lane perfectly for medium, and hook-stops on short.
    This ball is extremely versatile and if you were a fan of the Revolt series, you need to get one of these ASAP!!
