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.

    Impressive Power

    The Crimson is the first ball I've purchased in 15+ years and was recommended by the pro shop. When I throw it cleanly it brings a lot force through the pins. Because of the Crimson I have an Apex Jackal on order!

    Amazing Ball!

    I have been throwing this ball for closing in on 2 years. I have had great luck with it, it has just the right motion for me and I feel like I can control it very well. This was my first ball and I still use it today. I recommend it to beginners, advanced, anyone.

    Best ball I've thrown in the last 15 years

    I totally love this ball. My expert ball driller got it perfect out of the box. Not a tweak needed to fit, simply the best fit. It feels good, balanced and in control from push away to the pins. I love watching it track downland and crush the rack. Strikes are up, pin count is up and spare conversion is up.
    I dropped from 14# to 13# last year. Where other brands use generic cores below 14 has bothered me. I can feel the difference of having the high power engine in my hand.

    Strong, powerful finishing ball

    This ball is simply amazing. I'm a mid rev, mid speed bowler. It's an easy smooth rolling ball with good back end finish. In the last three weeks I have thrown three 300's and an 846 series.

    This ball is great, because it works really, really well on house shots when the surface is not cleaned or anything! It still does it's job, no matter the surface condition!
