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!

    Looks good, and rolls even better

    This one looks so good and rolls even better.
    A perfect fit right in between the Onyx and Crimson.

    Has been my favorite first ball out of the bag on challenge shots.

    Another EXJ necessity.

    I have the VIP Sigma, EXJ Venom, and now this EXJ Jackal. It is by far my favorite EXJ. If you missed out on this ball, you'll regret it.

    The combination of the V2 Predator core with the Propulsion cover creates a ball that is absolutely lethal! If you can find one available: drop the money on it. You will love it. Personally, I have my layout slightly less aggressive than my Onyx, but it still is comparative with the backend hook.
