Nuclear Forge

Absolutely love this ball. I did have to change the box surface, was too angular for me. Took it to 3k and the ball came alive. Can play up 7 or move in and swing it, had enough to come back on the fresh. Ball hits very well with awesome carry.

Pros:

Great angular motion down lane, good for higher volume conditions, allows you to open up the lane when needed.

Strong Symmetrical Pearl

The nuclear forge is a great symmetrical Pearl that can be used in league tournaments. This ball is extremely versatile and fits an all styles of bowlers. If you are looking for a first ball out of your bag or something that you can open up your angles and know that it will read off the friction than this would fit great in your bag.

Best Shiny ball from Motiv

Wow a Motiv shinny ball that is super responsive that does not go dead forward. Absolute home run easy revving with decent length and great continuation. By far my favorite shiny release from Motiv in a long time. For me I need a shinny ball to do one thing and that is be consistent in its response to friction and the Nuke does it in spades.

Nuclear Forge

The Nuclear Forge is the newest ball in our line and fits in the Medium-Heavy oil angular category. Bowlers will find this ball to be strong in the mid lane and also strong/fast down lane motion. I’ve found the Nuclear Forge most useable when the lane is fresh and as they transition when you really want to open up the the pattern.

The Nuclear Forge has the Detonator core used in the rest of the Forge line. The Detonator core is a massive core to really pick up in the middles and be very stable.

The Nuclear Forge has the Propulsion HVP higher volume pearl cover, providing a controllable mid lane motion without losing down lane motion. This Nuclear Forge is very special, a pearl ball that still picks up in the mid lane and still has a fast down lane motion…. cant beat it.

LAYOUT: 55 X 5 1/4 X 25
PIN TO PAP: 5 & 1 UP

The Detonator core returns in the new Forge Nuclear with an improved Propulsion HVP Pearl cover. The combination of low RG and high Diff gives a look in more oil like non other. The Propulsion cover will handle more oil volumes than most pearl covers. The fast spinning core will benefit those looking for control.
I don't throw many pearls on fresh oil especially on THS due to the over/under reaction you see many times, but the Nuclear has impressed me beyond belief. This pearl is something special.
For speed dominant bowlers the Nuclear will impress when the need arises to create angles.
For balanced bowlers this will be the first Sym Pearl out of your bag when transition occurs.
For rev dominant the big core will create massive flare giving you the control you need.

The shelf appeal of this ball is impressive to say the least. The colors are amazing.

Hello! The pearl coverstock Motiv Nuclear Forge will react later on the lanes and designed to power through heavier oil than the hybrid coverstock Motiv Forge Fire.

Question:


How would this ball fair for a low rev bowler?

10/9/2023 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


If you are a low rev bowling with a slower ball speed to match then this would work pretty much as advertised in the product description and go long and have a sharp backend hook in medium to heavy conditions. If however your ball speed is average or higher and your rev rate is low then this may not be a good fit for you because it is designed to only ready really on the backend and it will not have much room to hook if you are speed dominant.
