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.

    We asked and got it!

    To go along with fabulous releases last few years comes a very strong angular pearl the accommodates the rest of the Motiv line extremely well. This ball is very clean thru the front and doesn't lose that punch on the back end. Very happy with this ball so far!

    Crimson Jackal

    Crimson w/ the Propulsion HV Pearl wrapped around the Predator V2 core is the best of both worlds.
    smooth clean through the mid but responsive V2 shape that doesn't quit.
    Layout 60x51/2x20 used for multiple patterns, scuffed to a clean 2000 on a house shot hit w polish
    The Crimson fits perfectly for a One Two Punch either w/ the Ambush or Ghost
    Stay MOTIV-ated

    Strong Angular Pearl - Yes Please!

    Motiv's new Crimson Jackal is here and its a heavy oil angular ball you must have. The ball features the Predator V2 Asymmetric Core found in the Jackal Ghost but with a new cover stock call Propulsion HV+ Pearl Reactive! This combo really helps this ball create hook on the back and allows me to play much steeper angles. This is also a pearl I feel can be used sooner in your tournament since it handles heavier oil and won't just blow through your breakpoint. If your looking for a heavy oil angular piece, the Crimson Jackal is the ball you have been waiting for!

    2024 Ball of the Year??????

    This ball has already become one of my favorite bowling balls in my bag. It has been the first ball out my bag since I drilled it. Layout is 65x 5 1/4x 40. This ball is CLEAN through the heads and angular but continuous on the back end. This ball gets my HIGHEST recommendation. If you are looking for a pearl to put in your bag, go get one.

    Crimson Jackal

    The Crimson Jackal is the new big asymmetrical pearl the MOTIV line needed. The cover on this ball is so clean but is also very responsive to friction. The Predator V2 core in this ball allows the ball to blend the pattern out a little while maintaining angle into the pocket. This ball will definitely come in handy at tournaments or league when weaker solids are starting to become too much.

    Layout - 60x4.75x30
