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!

    Detonate the pins!

    Layout
    55 x 5” x 25

    When the Detonator meets a new Propulsion, a Nuclear reaction can occur! The Nuclear Forge is the latest iteration of the symmetrical Forge line built for handling medium-heavy to medium lane conditions. Sporting a color scheme that pops just as much as the ball’s reaction on the lanes, this is a must have in your arsenal.

    With the Detonator core (2.47 RG, .055 Diff) being on the bigger side, I gave my Nuclear a layout that would help it tumble a little farther down the lane before starting to rev up. Even with the higher angle of attack, the ball still provides great mid-lane read which gives good control on fresher conditions. To compliment the power of the core, the new Propulsion HVP cover allows the ball to skate through the fronts to store more energy for backend pop. This combination has given me an extremely versatile ball, something I have been able to use from frame one to frame 30 in any given league night. My first time out with it I started at 18-14 (laydown-arrows) and then finished the evening at 32-21. It is not everyday you can find a ball with this much core power that can excel both up the lane and across it. The cover also takes changes well. I decided to knock the polish off with a 3000 pad by hand and it still retained the characteristics I described, just a foot or two sooner. This has truly become a staple in my bag and is undoubtedly the first ball on the rack for me on league night as my benchmark ball.

    Participate in a Motiv sponsored 5 ball test event on Sunday, was so impressed with Nuclear Forge that I ordered one before I left the alley. Can't wait to try on league.

    This ball is fire!

    I love this ball. It’s my first HK-22 coverstock/shiny ball. I had to learn how to throw this ball but as soon as I did I was in love. This ball hits the pocket hard and really increases my confidence in the bowling game.

    Best pearl to date!

    Grabbed an Ember and has been a house shot killer. When this was announced I knew I needed it for a little extra skid and flip. Man was I blown away by the back end of this ball.
