This is by far the strongest ball I have ever thrown. Motiv has really come with something unique in the Coercion MXC cover. It reads the mid lane really early, has a smooth controlled shape and drives through the pins hard. The best part about this ball, for as strong as it is, I can continue to move left and the ball retains enough energy to drive through the pocket. This charcoal like cover is very slow to lane shine as well. For me, this will be a great tournament ball. I polished one of mine and I absolutely love it. It doesn’t read the lane as early but still shapes great and goes through the pins the way I need it to.  The Forge Flare will fit a variety of different bowlers and is something you have to see to believe.
