EJ Tackett has done it again! He won his 3rd PBA Player of the Year title and this time it’s back-to-back years! This is DOMINANCE.  To celebrate his latest POY, EJ Tackett and MOTIV are releasing a LIMITED-EDITION weapon designed for absolute power on the lane – the Jackal EXJ. This solid arctic white and silver pearl hybrid demands your attention.  And once your attention has been captured, the massive hook and insane power will keep it! 

The Jackal line has been the gold standard for heavy oil performance for years.  And if you love Jackals, you need performance options. In the current MOTIV line, we have the solid Jackal Onyx, the solid Jackal Ghost, and pearl Crimson Jackal.  But it’s been over three years since we have released a hybrid edition. 

Enter the new Jackal EXJ, featuring the all-new Propulsion HVH Hybrid coverstock.  This new cover creates more traction in oil than any hybrid Jackal before, while still saving energy for down lane motion in high volume conditions, perfectly slotting between the Jackal Ghost and the Crimson Jackal.

At the heart of the Jackal EXJ is the Predator V2 core, the most dominant high-performance asymmetric core we’ve ever built.  This fast revving, huge flaring asymmetric core is designed to be the strongest core any bowler will ever need. 

The Jackal EXJ is a celebration of the best. Of all things victorious. This ball is a statement that it’s time to take your game to new heights!

    Absolutely the Best Ball I've Owned

    This Ball has been so good to be since i got it on it's release date. I've shot plenty of high games with it including my first honor score of 300. I do wish i bought another one to sit in a box just in case of this one splitting open because this is the benchmark for me.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Its a EJ ball

    Had to get it to represent for my favorite bowler/Indiana native. Its great for smooth hook down lane, use in early games with fresh oil

    300 Out of Box Jackal

    I drilled the ExJ Jackal at 14 lbs with a 75×5×25 layout and my PAP is 4¼″ over and ⅛″ up. Right out of the box, this ball was incredible. It cleared the fronts with ease, picked up strong in the midlane, and had a powerful, continuous backend that absolutely drove through the pins. I shot a 300 game straight out of the box, which says everything about how well this ball matches my rev-dominant style. It gives me confidence to move left, open up the lane, and still get consistent carry with no quit downlane. Easily one of the best Jackals I’ve thrown.

    My new favorite ball!

    The Jackal EXJ is a phenomenal ball! My only regret is not buying two of them so I can have another for when this one wears out. I am a relatively new bowler, bowling twice a week in league. Since I got this ball, my average has increased from 150 to 170 and I have a new high game (244) and a new high series (644). This ball is consistent and always seems to do what I need it to do. It carries very well through the pocket!

    First Motiv Ball

    Took a couple games to be able to handle such a strong ball. And after After 50 games ball still plays great on a longer house shot. Ball never loses momentum through the oil and likes to roll angular into the pins creating a better ball reaction than most strong sharp balls that I own. Highly recommend for all balanced bowlers. Cant wait to create a MOTIV arsenal starting with this ball!
