The Motiv Forge Fire is the newest addition to the Motiv line. It features the Detonator core from the original Forge, and comes with the Infusion hybrid coverstock from the RipCord. Both the Forge and RipCord have been essential balls in my bag and have gotten lots of use in both leagues and tournaments. When I heard about the Forge Fire, I couldn’t be happier. I drilled mine with the pin above the bridge, which is the same layout I have on both my Forge and RipCord.

Off the press, the Forge Fire was exactly what I was looking for. The Forge Fire gives me that additional length and pop off the backend when my OG Forge rolls up too early, but gives me less over under when the conditions have more oil when compared to the RipCord. I was about 3 boards left off my OG Forge line, and about 6 boards left off my RipCord. During my video shoot at a different house, the Forge Fire and OG Forge were a little closer, but after a few games I saw the OG Forge lose some energy as the lanes burned up. This will be a great ball for those looking for a ball to bridge the gap between balls like the Forge and RipCord. I used mine in league and have been able to stick with it all 3 games with a few adjustments inside.
