WARNING, this new Nuclear Forge is highly reactive! Witness the revolution of bowling dominance as the fiery glow of the Nuclear Forge bowling ball takes over the lanes. Creating a fusion of the proven Detonator core with new Propulsion HVP coverstock, the Nuclear Forge provides length through the front of the lane with electrifying backend motion. Brace yourself for the arrival of a ball so explosive, it redefines what’s possible.


Motiv Bowling's pearl coverstocks are not just a game-changer; they're an absolute force! From Santtu Tahvanainen's mind-blowing World Series of Bowling triumph with the Supra Rally to EJ Tackett's thrilling TV 300 achieved with the ExJ VIP Sigma, Motiv has cemented its authority as the ultimate force in pearl resin mastery.


Following the success of the Propulsion coverstock on the PBA Tour, MOTIV R&D set out to create a Propulsion cover that could handle higher concentrations of oil. The new Propulsion HVP cover on the Nuclear Forge is that cover. This Propulsion High Volume Pearl cover has more traction in oil than Propulsion DRS, but with the same technology at its base. This dynamic pearl coverstock is the pinnacle of MOTIV's expertise!

The Detonator core pulses with energy inside the Motiv Nuclear Forge bowling ball. This highly stable core fuses a fast-spinning, low RG design with high differential strength. This combination provides the incredible control from the low RG, and when the high differential comes into play, it delivers unmatched traction and brute force.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed dominant Bowlers: The Nuclear Forge is a pearl with a strong enough core for speed dominant bowlers to use when creating angle down lane is necessary.  The combination of a high volume pearl cover and a low rg/high differential core means speed dominant bowlers can trust that their ball will still create shape when most pearls just can’t.
  • Balanced Bowlers: For balanced bowlers the Nuclear Forge is the first symmetrical pearl out of the bag.  When transition hits and these bowlers are forced to find some help through the front, the Nuclear Forge is a great solution.  The strong pearl cover can still handle moderate to medium heavy volumes of oil while providing ample down lane motion.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers: On higher friction surfaces rev dominant players are so often forced into pearl covers to start their block.  The fast revving, big flaring Detonator core will help rev dominant bowlers have some control while still creating the angle through the front that their physical game demands of them. 

If you think you can handle the reactivity of this bowling ball, then pick yours up today here at Motiv Bowling. We want to take your bowling game to the next level, so be sure to choose us when it’s time to invest in some new bowling balls or bowling accessories!

    This is a whole lotta ball

    I have the Forge Flare, so I know this Detonator core likes so roll early and keeps going, so I wasn't sure how it would look wrapped around a pearl cover. I passed on the Iron Forge and got a really good deal on a barely used Nuclear. Oh man does the ball move. I definitely like the 5000 grit sanded cover versus the polished board. Standard cover really makes a difference. If You're wondering if this pearl cover will do well in the oil, this ball does. Pairing this core and this cover together is a perfect match. I'm looking forward to getting the Crimson Jackal next and comparing them side by side

    Warning pins beware

    For me this ball works very well. I can play more of a down and in when oil is heavier, and good through transition. Can move way left and get very angular when it’s needed. This ball always carries great.

    Run, don't walk to get this ball.

    I'm so excited to have finally gotten this ball. The colors and the looks of the ball going down the lane are a knockout, but that's only half of the allure for this ball. I threw it at a Motiv Test Drive (Shane Yesovich was the organizing staff member, and sets up awesome test drives and is incredibly knowledgeable about the product line!) At first, with it being drilled neutrally I wasn't getting as much out of the ball as I would have liked, but I did like how it felt, and ordered the nuclear forge the same day. Got it drilled up tonight, and this ball is incredible. It hits the pocket so hard and demolishes everything. Not only was it strong in the pocket, but it was great in the corner picking up the pesky 10 pin and it came across easily to clean up the left corner of the lane. I have the Iron Forge and Forge Ember in my arsenal currently with the Sky Raptor, and I think the Nuclear Forge will fit.in perfectly to my game where the Forge Ember has been lacking for me.
