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.

    I love this ball

    I’m still new to bowling but I’m a big nerd with researching the game. I have taken the advice of some really great bowlers and tried a few balls that never seemed to feel comfortable for me. I gave this ball a shot and my average jumped up 30 pins. It feels so smooth and hooks perfect for me.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    This ball wants to hook

    Strong cover on a strong core makes this one of the stronger balls in my arsenal. I love the motion down lane I get from the Ambush and would recommend it to anyone looking for a heavy oil piece.

    I just got the Ambush and it's my new favorite ball, stole the honor from the Blue Coral. This is the strong ball I have been needing. I can't wait to see how far I can go with my Motiv balls.

    This ball hits

    I love this ball! It provides excellent control for me and I love the smooth motion. I think what I am most amazed with, is that even though this ball is "early" it still packs tons of power when it hits the pins. I 100% would recommend this ball.
