Motiv Iron Forge

Motiv is claiming that the Iron Forge is their strongest pearl symmetric bowling ball to date! This addition to the Forge line of high-performance bowling balls uses the same Detonator core but is wrapped in the successful Infusion MVP Pearl coverstock originally used on the Ripcord Velocity. This core and cover combination produces great angle on medium-heavy oil conditions. The Detonator core has a low RG and high differential which helps create more total hook along with more mid-lane traction and control. The Infusion MVP coverstock responds fast and gives a lot of angle at the backend.

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Motiv uses the same weight block on the different weights. They are one of the only companies that does not change the weight block when you drop below 14lbs.

Question:


Is this a good jump from Columbia 300 beast!?

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


If you were looking for a 2 ball arsenal then you could use the Iron Forge in medium to heavy oil and then use the Beast in medium to lighter oil and that should work well.

Question:


How does iron forge compare to forge fire

7/14/2022 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Motiv has a scale they use to help rate each ball and the Iron Forge has Length 16, Backend 18.5, and Hook 57 while the Forge Fire has Length 16, Backend 17.5, and Hook 56. So the Iron Forge has a slightly stronger backend which gives it more overall hook.

Question:


How does the Iron Forge compare to the Axiom Pearl for a hi average right handed tweener?

2/8/2023 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


They will have a very similar reaction actually. Both have a pearl coverstock and a polished finish to give good length and strong backend hook. Both are rated to work in medium to heavy oil conditions but I would give a slightly higher hook potential to the Iron Forge which may help it handle slightly better in heavier oil.
