Golden Jackal

The new Golden Jackal™ brings the legend of a pearl Jackal™ to life.  Providing more length through the oil, the Golden Jackal™ displays an impressive backend motion.  Never before has there been a Jackal™ with this kind of agility and speed!

The Golden Jackal™ features the latest Predator™ V3 asymmetric weight block to provide massive track flare potential and hooking power.  This technology also produces a very low RG so the Golden Jackal™ is easier to rev, making it more forgiving on heavy oil patterns than higher RG balls that may slip past the proper transition point. 

For generating powerful angle in high volume environments, the Hexion™ SE cover is incredible.  This Strength Enhanced version of Hexion™ technology produces outstanding down lane motion without sacrificing traction in the oil.  The factory finish on the Golden Jackal™ cover stock is 4000 Grit LSS.

    Awesome bowling ball!

    The Golden Jackal is a powerful and predictable ball that clears the corners with no problem which produces a lot of strikes. It's the first ball out of my bag for league and tournaments.

    Great late reaction

    I actually won a ball of my choosing in a raffle. I had bowled with Storm only for the last 10 or so years. I was having issues with Storm products cracking after less than two years (even stored in correct conditions). So I thought why not give Motiv a try. So here I am with my Golden Jackal. I had it drilled with the pin up between the finger holes as I play the down and in shot. I love the way this ball reacts late down the lane. I would recommend this to anyone and look forward to buying more Motiv products in the future.

    Best bowling ball ever

    I just got this Golden Jackal a few weeks ago it's been helping me out.When the carry-down starts, that's when I go to this ball. Excellent ball reaction and hits great! I like this Pearl cover gives it great length and consistent backend motion and the core has amazing punch down lane.

    Golden Jackal

    The Golden Jackal is a great compliment to the Jackal Ghost. Mine is about a 2 feet long down lane and really sharp off the spot. A great ball if a solid ball is just not getting the corner and you flat ten. This ball has that extra pop off the spot

    PAP 4 3/4 over
    Ball speed 17mph
    Rev rate 360

    Hooks hard, hits harder!!

    I got my Golden Jackal a few months ago but have struggled to throw it on a standard house shot so I’ve been using my Forge. I finally had a league night with conditions suitable to roll this bad boy and it paid off! Lanes held up all 3 games and I was able to adjust and shoot a 749 with a 299 game in the mix. If you need a ball that reacts hard on the backend, this is the ball!!!
