I have two, different layouts and have tried multiple surfaces. It's probably more to do with the color of the ball, but I'm not a big fan.

I love the original Forza and the Forza GT is a good sport shot ball for me, however,  the Redline never makes it into my bag.

Your mileage may vary...

Not a big fan of the redline. I sold mine. The ugliest leaves I see are with this ball.

When Motiv, of all companies, discontinues something fast, you know it was for a good reason.

+1 milo I also love the reactions that the forza,  and the forza gt provide for me,  and deciding on the redline, I just am not impressed with it by any means.  There are better Pearl options out there.

Not a fan of the Yellow Forza.  I love the OG Forza and the GT.   I thought that it was the only the color that I did not like.  It may have been the cover but anyway not a fan at all.  May have been the worse piece that Motiv has made.

Thanks for the tips. You guys are probably right. Like Bowlmore, I was thinking of buying a Redline. There are plenty available on E-bay and Amazon---maybe another telling indication.

When I first got the Redline it was jumpy, so I put it on the spinner and hit it with 4000 Abralon.  Really calmed it down. On a THS my bread and butter shot is standing on 17/18 and throwing to the 9 board.  Ball has no trouble getting to the pocket, but my carry is horrible which has been mentioned by others on here.
However, if I move in and stand on 22 and throw to 12/13 this ball is money for me.  I can destroy the rack from here with the Redline.
So for me the ball has it's place.  It can be very good, but also very bad.
I also like the color, but that may be because I'm somewhat color blind! lol
