Just like a predator in the wilderness, the Crimson Jackal thrives on two critical factors: lightning speed and unmatched agility.  The Crimson Jackal emerges as the apex predator on the lanes, boasting an unprecedented ability to change directions in the blink of an eye and respond to friction faster than any Jackal before.  The Crimson Jackal is a predator with a killer instinct like no other.

We’ve conquered the challenge of creating a coverstock that delivers lightning-fast response in a heavy oil environment with new Propulsion HV+ cover technology.  The strongest Propulsion shell to date, Propulsion HV+ takes performance to the next level.  When paired with the Predator V2 core, this shell guarantees bowlers can wield this monster core even when attacking the lanes at steep angles.

Powering the Crimson Jackal is the Predator V2, a legend in its own right and a dynamic powerhouse.  Previously seen in other great Jackals such as the Jackal Ghost; this fast revving and huge flaring, asymmetric beast is designed to be the strongest core in any bowler’s bag.  Be prepared to dominate the lanes with this force of nature!

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - For bowlers with more ball speed and lower rpm, the Crimson Jackal is a pearl that can be trusted to create angle and shape when other pearls would be too weak to get started or get around the corner. 
  • Balanced Bowlers - For balanced bowlers the Crimson Jackal will be the first pearl out of the bag and should allow for steeper angles earlier in blocks.  When other angular balls just seem to get too far down lane before making their move, the Crimson Jackal with the Predator V2 core should provide more mid-lane stability while the Propulsion HV+ cover gives great down lane pop.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - For the bowlers with the lowest speed and/or the highest rev rate the Crimson Jackal gives them an asymmetrical core option that is clean enough through the front of the lane.  So many rev dominant bowlers are forced out of asymmetric cores because they are fast revving and early.  The Crimson Jackal is clean and angular, allowing rev dominant bowlers to use it when there is lower friction, but they want a big pearl asym.

    What a great bowling ball

    Just through my first series with this ball. Wow, what a bowling ball. Once I found my shot with this ball, I was so impressed with the area I had as long as I didn't over hit the ball it always found its way back to the pocket with power. I love this ball and look forward to throwing this ball allot. Oh yeah my series 196,254,247

    Loving it

    I actually have had this ball since its release. I am 80 years old and don’t have a lot of revs, my ball speed is usually in the 15’s, and I am a stroker. On our house shot this ball is great, I can play my normal down and in, but if I have to move in this ball gives me more recovery than any I have had in the past. Another nice thing about this ball is that it creates a lot of pin action.

    Never overreacts, rolls through the pins with great force.
    I’m a low rev , average speed player, who is very impressed with this ball.
    Great product

    I had to sand ball down for better reaction

    I sanded the Crimson down and the 1st game was a 298. I got super nervous, and have been doing great with it! Would love more great scores with this ball! Have had 5 weeks of averaging 200 and up.
