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!

    Amazing all the time

    I got this right after getting back from Nationals and man, I'm upset about it. I bowled with it twice and both times have been great. I'm just practicing until my leagues start back up and I can't miss with this ball. If I throw it out, it hooks up and smashes the pocket. If I miss in, it holds and rolls out at the right time to demolish the pocket. My first Jackal and I don't know how much better this ball type can be.

    HEAVY OIL

    This is a first game ball when the lane conditions are HEAVY OIL.
    No need to resurface unless after a lot of game used. Out the box use its digs in the midlane and makes a STRONG move to the pocket. You wont be disappointed.

    New equipment testing

    Hey Motivational pro-staff.. Threw EXJ last night 2022 Kegel house shot. Though it’s a 42” pattern, heavy oil was present. Jackal ExJ came into the pocket perfect. Had an excellent 10 week league with Primal rage, lethal venom, and ended with third place with Jackal rounding out the night!!. And special thanks to Nathan with Motiv sales and tech support!

    Ok, as everyone has been on a craze for this ball, Being EJ Tacketts ball! This ball is no joke! With the Powerful Predator V2 core driving this Hybrid Covered beast, EJ knew exactly what to have on this one! This core being his 3rd favorite core (Gear, Stigma, Predator V2). This round, he wanted to unleash the true beast of the Jackal! And WOW!!!! The Propulsion HVH Reactive Hybrid cover is the Perfect Match to the core!
    This combination really revs up down lane! Clears the fronts really easy, the big core really revs this ball up so nice! The down lane performance of this ball is definitely a strong angular shape and continuous through the deck! Motiv really put this ball in the perfect spot on the chart, and being a Hybrid, it is definitely the right choice for anyone looking for the Ultimate Jackal! This is the Onyx and Crimson in 1 ball! You Definitely Need to get this ball! Oh, and just in case you were wondering about the surface of this ball? The Duramax additive is there, And with the surface being at 4000LSS, You can put it to the scanner and check it! Mine reads 4700LSS which many will know is Stable! This cover isnt changing at all! Yeah it may get a little dirty, but some cleaner always brings it back to the Beautiful White/Silver!
    Congratulations Motiv and EJ, Grand Slam Home Run on this one! I Love this Company!!!!
