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.

    The best Jackal I’ve ever thrown!

    Pap: 4 1/8” over 7/8” up
    Ball speed: 17 mph
    Rev rate: 480

    If you’re looking for a pearl asymmetrical ball that will eat through oil, the Crimson Jackal is the ball for you. I drilled 2 of these, one with a 45 x 5 1/4 x 30 for a bit snappier shape and one pin down 45 x 4 1/2 x 65 to get a smoother shape overall. I recently bowled a tournament on Kegel 43’ Dead Man’s Curve and I needed a ball that would be clean through the heads but store energy down lane. The Crimson was the perfect ball and led me to a 3rd place finish. I’m really liking the new Propulsion HV+ technology coverstock. This was a huge hit on the nuclear and now we have this masterpiece for the Crimson Jackal. 5 stars all the way!

    Wow!

    A Jackal has NEVER rolled like this.

    The Jackal line and I have never really seen eye to eye. Just not a core I’ve seemed to match up well with. I drilled my Crimson 60 x 4.5 x 40 and was able to throw a couple games with it: this one is different.

    Easy length. Enough mid lane to avoid skidding on me, BOOMING backend. I have never had this much angularity and continuation with a Jackal. I get it out, it comes screaming back to the pocket. I pull it in, it sits, hits, and carries. The type of forgiveness I’m seeing from the Crimson is rare. Not just for a Jackal, or for Motiv…but for any ball. Who doesn’t love a ball that makes you look better than you are?

    MOTIV CRIMSON JACKAL

    Introducing the new Crimson Jackal. This is a ball we have all been waiting for. A pearl like Ghost. This ball is clean up front with never seen before angularity from any other Jackal to date.
    Fast response in the heaviest of oil conditions.
    For speed dominant bowlers this ball will help create shape when other pearls don't.
    For balanced bowlers this will be the first pearl out of the bag to help create shape early in the block.
    Rev dominant bowlers will like the ease at which this ball gets through the fronts and the unparalleled angles it creates on the backend.

    This is next level in the Jackal line.
