Strengths
Nuclear Forge will provide you with more angularity than Pride Empire and Iron Forge.

Nuclear Forge is earlier than Iron Forge and provides better traction than Ripcord Launch and Supra Rally in the midlane.

Nuclear Forge provides ample backend cornering strong exiting the pattern, bowlers that like seeing a strong change of direction and a big back end motion will like what the Nuclear Forge offers.


Weaknesses

I wasn’t too successful using Nuclear Forge on excessive burn, when the middle of lane gets too toasty for my liking Nuclear Forge was too big. However on such conditions Yellow Jacket is more ideal.

The new Nuclear Forge is the next rendition of a strong pearl in Motiv's line. The Propulsion HPV cover wrapped around the same Detonator core allows this piece to get through the front part of the lane very well, starts to dig in this middle part of the lane, and has a great amount of angle and continuation. This ball will be perfect for when solids are starting to be too much and we need something a little later!

About Me MOTIV STAFF
MOTIV FORGE NUCLEARHAND: RIGHT
SPEED: 16
REV: 455
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.
I would recommend this to a friend

COMMENTS

Likes: Strong Backend Snapping Shape, Clean thru Fronts, Retains Energy Well

Dislikes: Nothing not to like, But understand where it belongs in the bag.


Thoughts - Holy Angular Backend Motion!! I didn't think this shape was attainable with the Detonator Core. This core tends to like to be pretty forward, rolly if you will. Even the Iron Forge was more of a Forward Symmetric Pearl in my hands. But this, WOW!! Not sure how many tournaments this will go to for that reason but I can see this being a really fun ball for league. Stand Left, Throw Right and Watch it Snap Back thru the Pins.
