Introducing the ice-cold devastation of the new Subzero Forge. This latest beast in the Forge line is a force of nature, combining the proven power of the Detonator core with the traction of Leverage MXC Solid Reactive coverstock. The outcome is inevitable: pins left shattered and your competition frozen in fear.  Embrace the cold and conquer the lanes with the Subzero Forge.

At the heart of the Subzero Forge is the Detonator core, a formidable combination of low RG and high differential. This dynamic duo offers unparalleled control and traction. The fast-spinning low RG provides unparalleled control, while the high differential delivers the raw strength needed to plow through the heaviest oil like a glacier carving its path. The Detonator is a proven winner, relentless on higher volumes of oil.

Paired with this powerful core is the Leverage MXC Solid coverstock, enhanced with the Duramax™ additive. This isn't just another coverstock; it's an incredibly strong surface that maintains its texture longer than any before. You'll feel the ice-cold precision of the Evoke, but with an updated ferocity that true MOTIV enthusiasts will recognize as the Forge Flare’s fierce evolution.

When to Use

Speed Dominant Bowlers- The speed dominant bowler will likely find the most frequent use of the Subzero Forge.  Bowlers who are always looking for something stronger and more controllable will love this new Forge.  The 2000 grit lss finish on the Leverage MXC solid cover will tear through the oil to provide easy hook for speed dominant players.

Balanced Bowlers - Bowlers whose revs and ball speed match will use the Subzero Forge on high volumes of oil, fresh patterns, and when control is of the utmost importance.  Balanced bowlers who compete in tournaments will love the Subzero Forge for their fresh oil ball on higher volume patterns.  Additionally, first shift high volume house shots can be tricky if your ball is not controllable.  The Subzero Forge is great in those situations for balanced bowlers.

Rev Dominant Bowlers - While balanced and speed dominant players often like to use asymmetrical bowling balls on higher volume and fresh oil patterns, many times rev dominant players struggle with those cores.  The Subzero Forge is as strong a ball as a rev dominant player may ever need, with the control of the quick revving symmetrical Detonator core.

    A ball that continues the Motiv Tradition.

    Motiv has always had greats products and the Subzero continues that tradition, this ball hits HARD when lined up correctly. I have mine drilled pin down (50 x 4 1/2 x 70) to cut some of the flare off the ball as I live right side and cruise on the second arrow and when I am lined up the Subzero does everything right.

    My average has gone up at least 20 pins with this ball and I've been hitting 280+ when paired with the Evoke Hysteria.

    Go Motiv!

    My new benchmark ball

    This has been the go-to ball in my bag since I drilled it. I am a speed dominant bowler so the earlier roll and continuous backend makes it a great ball for the wet / dry.

    Great ball excellent performance

    Great ball with a lot of curve, especially on the backend. I’m a left handed bowler and I just bought this ball today. All around excellent ball for a great price. Awesome job Motiv!! This is my first ball from your company, I usually throw other brands and this is by far my favorite ball to date!

    Now my favorite ball!

    Very strong ball that is the first ball out of my bag. Works very well for me in the oil, the DuraMax additive is terrific. Getting older and can't throw it like I used to. A 243 and a 232 before I had to put it away. Great Job, Motiv, this is the best of the Forges and I've had them all.
