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.

Outstanding reaction down lane
Has amazing backend action and drives through the pocket like a truck. Bumped my average up 10 pins. Excellent ball by Motiv.

Iron Forge Review
The Iron Forge is the strongest symmetric pearl Motiv has ever made. This is the newest addition to the Forge line. The Iron Forge has the Detonator core. The same core as previous Forges. The Iron Forge has the Infusion MVP pearl also used on the Ripcord Velocity. The combination of the two creates amazing angle on medium-heavy oil conditions. This ball will be great when your Jackals are a little to much.

Pros:
Clean, Strong, Angular

Long live the Iron Forge!
From the great shelf appeal of the colors to the destructive hitting power of the core, this ball is something special!
I'm able to play further right with this on a house shot and not have to worry about the cover burning up in the friction.

Question:
Does it have a generic core at 13 lbs
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.
