$120 - Motiv Forge Ember- 16 lbs
(price includes drilling)

Core Type: Asymmetric
RG:  2.49 | Diff: 0.054 | Int Diff: .013
Coverstock: HybridThe Forge™ Ember is a performance hybrid from Motiv Bowling.  Built to generate more friction than previous hybrids, the Forge™ Ember combines technology from two very different coverstock systems to deliver a new brand of motion.  Bowlers will find increased strength in the oil without sacrificing down lane motion.  More down lane motion means that the Forge™ Ember will be useful for a longer window during competition.

Inside the Forge™ Ember is the Detonator™ core. The Detonator™ is a stable and strong combination of low RG with high differential.  The fast spinning low RG provides control while the high differential gives traction and strength.  The fast revving Detonator™ is a proven winner on higher volumes of oil. 

Wrapped around the Detonator™ core is the Infusion™ MXC Hybrid Reactive cover.  As already mentioned, this cover combines two very different shells to provide a unique shape.  Traditionally, the most angular motions from MOTIV® were generated using the Infusion™ coverstock system.  Conversely, the coverstocks with the MXC distinction were those with the most mid-lane traction and control.  When combined, bowlers should see significant traction in the oil with more down lane motion than is normally expected from such a strong cover.  

Here's what BTM had to say about the Forge Ember:

Strengths

The Forge Ember ticks all the boxes for a stronger bowling ball: plenty of traction, a strong breakpoint shape, and strong continuation downlane.

Weaknesses

This ball needs some oil in the front of the lane, so lighter oil conditions or later stages of transition are only really options for the most speed-dominant players.

Overall Summary

Fans of the Forge line should be excited about this new release. The Forge Ember is more angular than the Forge Flare while providing more total hook than the Forge Fire and Iron Forge.
