The newest predator in the vicious Jackal line, the Jackal Ambush will catch opponents off guard with its strength and control of its environment. This ultra-strong beast pushes the boundaries of ball motion and hook in oil, providing a smooth and controlled ball motion, even in the heaviest concentrations. The Jackal Ambush allows you to go on the hunt, knowing that you have the strength behind you to dominate.

The Jackal Ambush introduces the release of a brand new coverstock system; Leverage Solid Reactive. Leverage is formulated to be smoother down lane and stronger in the oil than the Coercion coverstock systems previously used for this ball motion. This is the most aggressive coverstock system ever developed in the MOTIV ball line.

Paired with this new system is the proven Predator V2 core. Used in the legendary Jackal Ghost and the Alpha Jackal used by Wesley Low to shoot 900, the Predator V2 is ideal in heavy oil conditions when a high performance, asymmetrical core is necessary. The low RG and high differential give a fast spinning and dynamic core design, capable of huge amounts flare.

WHEN TO USE:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers - For speed dominant bowlers, traction and guaranteed hook are so important. The Jackal Ambush is a must for bowlers who are speed dominant. With oil volumes increasing, bowlers with a lot of speed or lower rev rates benefit from increased differential, asymmetry, and stronger cores. The Jackal Ambush checks all of the boxes for bowlers needing help creating shape on the lanes.
  • Balanced Bowlers - Balanced bowlers will use the Jackal Ambush when in need of the most control and traction possible. For balanced bowlers competing on very high volumes or looking to start further in on a house pattern, the Jackal Ambush will do the trick, offering a smooth and predictable motion.
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers - For rev dominant bowlers, the Jackal Ambush is a control ball for the absolute lowest friction environments. For these bowlers needing control, a shinier finish may be necessary, but the control offered by the Leverage Solid Reactive coverstock paired with the Predator V2 could be advantageous if angular pieces feel like they go everywhere on fresh oil.

    Early but great

    This thing moves no matter what I easily shot a 217, 236 and 289 with it and it’s crazy what this thing can do the only con I have with it is that it needs a lot of oil and I mean a lot get them before there gone

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Lives up to the hype

    I picked up bowling last year, and was horrible to say the least. I averaged 150 with the Hustle Ink. I spent a lot of time researching bowling balls on YouTube. I was very impressed with how well the Jackal Ambush was performing compared to other balls. I purchased one. The last game I bowled last year was a 289. This year I am averaging 210 through 24 games, with a high of 255. The ball is smooth and fluid. It feels great upon release and drives well through the pocket. It recovers well even when I miss by a couple boards. I highly recommend this to a friend and will continue using Motiv for the considerable future!!!!

    Great for super oily lanes

    The Jackal Ambush is the best ball on the market right now in my opinion for heavy oil. The ball will come back from the far parts of the lanes and strike with ferocity. The second day of having this ball I got a 203 then multiple more after that.
