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.

    Subzero keeps me hot

    I'm an 82 year very senior bowler and have used Motiv products for a long, long time. I bought the Subzero Forge for its looks but have been very pleased with its performance. I am the epitome of an old stroker with my slow ball speed and low rev rate. Still I can start the day with the Subzero down and in and then easily move left as the games progress. I really thought the ball might be to strong for me but I've been surprised. I like it even better than my Venom Shock. My old favorite was a Brunswick Ultra Zone from 20 years ago. And though its a totally different ball the Subzero Forge is now my FOAT.

    Great new ball

    I had had my eye on this ball for a while, and was given it as a birthday present. Since using this ball, my scores and consistency have both increased. I love how it reads the lane earlier than my other ball. I don't have the rev rates like the pros do, but this ball compensates really well for my style of bowling.

    I love it

    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!
