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.

    Best bang in bowling

    Where to start I purchased this ball because I was struggling with our house shot. I normally avg right around 200. From the first night I put this ball into play it has out performed every ball I have ever thrown. Nothing hits harder than this ball. It slides through the fronts with ease holding all its power until it gets to its break point and then BAM. Look this ball was designed for everyone. I ended the year with a 210 avg my best ever.

    Consistent ball for the inconsistent bowler

    I have had this ball since February, and it has always been a strong piece. No matter how much I make mistakes the ball reacts the same. It is my 4th Jackal piece and my 7th Motiv. I love this ball.

    One of the best Jackals out
