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.

    Golden Jackal - SCORE!!!

    In my advancing age, I have dropped to 14lb bowling equipment. At first I was skeptical about pin carry with the lighter weight balls, but the Golden Jackal has proven strong! Along with its sister, the original Jackal, both have proven they can perform at the lighter weights! I have the Golden Jackal drilled with the pin down, centered .5" under the bridge with the CG kicked to about 40 degrees. It's pretty aggressive but holds the line well with continued arc to the pocket. Couldn't be happier!

    Golden Jackal

    The Golden Jackal is one of, if not the best ball I've ever thrown. It rolls perfect and hits like a truck. I wanted it as soon as I saw it was coming out. If you don't have one of these, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? You WILL NOT be disappointed.

    Versatile Ball!

    I love my Jackal LE on higher volume shots! But I would struggle to find something that worked once heads started burning up, and it seemed like I was stuck with something reading too early or not being able to make the turn on the backend to face up in the pocket! Then I bought this ball! The Golden jackal! I went with the same layout as my Jackal LE, and now I can get through the burnt heads cleaner, but can still make the turn on the backend! This ball is also very good medium shots! It allows you to be aggressive without having to worry about overdoing it!

    Great addition to the Jackal line

    I’ve been bowling for a few years now, and I started with Motiv and will continue to do so. This ball has expanded my range down lane and has matched my bowling style perfectly.
