Jackal Ghost

Item Number: MTVBJKGKPS

1/18/2017

Since 2017, the legendary Jackal Ghost has been reigning terror on heavy oil. It's the longest running asymmetric bowling ball in the world!

With paranormal performance, the Jackal Ghost delivers more total hook potential than any Jackal before it. It's scary good! The Predator V2 weight block is at the core of MOTIV's Jackal Ghost bowling ball. Featuring a low RG and loads of differential, this asymmetric design is easy to rev and produces massive track flare.

Combining the physics of the Predator V2 with the chemistry of the new Coercion HFS (High Friction Solid) cover stock, the Jackal Ghost elevates heavy oil performance. Coercion HFS is the most aggressive cover stock to date on a bowling ball in the Jackal product line. Turned with a 3000 Grit Lss Finish, bowlers will see both excellent mid-lane read and unbelievable continuation. When you want to take your bowling performance to the next level, you want high-quality MOTIV bowling balls, like the Jackal Ghost. Get the top performance and hook on the lane that you’ve always needed.

WHEN TO USE:

Speed Dominant - For a bowler with high ball speed or those with lower rev rates, the Jackal Ghost serves as an outstanding benchmark option due to the cleaner cover and controllable motion down lane. The versatility of drilling offered by the Predator V2 also makes the Ghost a great benchmark piece for speed dominant bowlers.

Balanced - Players who are balanced in their speed to rev rate ratio find the Ghost to be a must have for fresh oil and longer patterns. The Jackal Ghost is ideal for balanced bowlers to use in a variety of lower friction environments.

Rev Dominant - Over the past several years AJ Johnson and EJ Tackett have proven that the Jackal Ghost is a must have for the rev dominant player. Due to the coverstock being moderately clean, a rev dominant player is able to use the Jackal Ghost without worrying about it “burning up” or getting too forward down lane like so many heavy oil asymmetrical balls. If that sounds nice to you, then you’ll definitely want to pick up a new Ghost bowling ball from Motiv Bowling before you go back to the lanes.

About Me Took up bowling after retirement

Rating 5.0

I had to go to a lighter ball as I aged

I Started bowling when I retired. I was using a 14# ball until I took an untimely fall. This forced me to back off to 12#. I thought I would lose some momentum going through the pins; however, the Jackal Ghost keeps driving. With the way the Ghost stores energy, I have not noticed the type of deflection I normally see using lighter ball. It has really helped me maintain my game.

I understand the hype!

Out of the box at 3000, i didn't understand the hype. Changed the surface to 1000, and boy did it grab! I have since played with more surfaces on this ball and worked on my hand positioning, and have gone back to 2500/3000. This ball is super controllable, and it always looks like its going to miss the pocket, but it doesn't. Thrown this ball in over 300 games and it still hits just as hard as it did when i first got it. I understand the hype now, and i can't leave this ball at home for any league or tournament.
