View Privacy PolicyI really love how the Jackal Flash stores energy. As I move more and more inside it never loses carry! This ball is definitely a great ball for longer patterns and drenched house shots.

I drilled my Jackal Flash like my Supra and Nemesis (65 X 5.25 X 35) and first impressions holy heck this thing hooks a LOT and looks super pretty. Being MOTIV's first ever Tri-color bowling ball, they knocked it out of the park with the color combo without a doubt! The Predator cores have always been one of my favorite cores! The ball is incredibly clean through the front part of the lane with a TON of motion on the backend! Definitely a ball for you if you need a heavier oil ball with a very quick response to friction. This ball is a SUPRA on STEROIDS! I absolutely recommend this ball to everyone!!

I drilled my Jackal Flash 65 x 4 1/2 x 25. I wanted this ball to be my number #1 ball in the bag for most long oil patterns. This ball has the Infusion HV Pearl Reactive coverstock wrapped around the Predator V2 core. This ball is an asymmetric ball with 5000 LSP. As much as I love my Forge Fire and Nemesis, this ball is quickly becoming my go to favorite. First set out of box was a 730 series. The last 2 weeks, I have had 7 games of 278 or better in 4 different bowling centers on 4 different house shots along with the lowest series being 708. This ball gives me so much room for error on house shots. I have thrown this ball to the 1 board and it still comes back to strike. I have pulled this ball inside my mark by 2 boards and usually this turns into a 10 pin or the ball goes through the head pin, but this ball still carries. This ball is so versatile on a lot of oil patterns and gives you the best carry rate I seen. This ball is very receptive on the end of the pattern and goes through the pins with a lot roll which is why the carry rate is so good. This ball should be in the Motiv line-up for a long time.

Worth. The. Wait! MOTIV’s first ever tri-colored ball has arrived and its name is Jackal Flash. Taking the highest volume, quickest responding spot on the chart, the marriage of the proven Predator V2 core (2.47RG, .054Diff) and the lightening-fast Infusion HV Pearl coverstock (5000 LSP) has produced an amazing piece that provides both length up front with down-lane snap and strong mid-lane read with continuation through the pin deck.
I laid this Jackal out the same as I did the Golden Jackal as I liked the overall shape that release produced and was wanting something similar yet quicker. Comparing those two balls is like comparing apples to oranges. The Flash is leaps and bounds quicker at the spot while still not sacrificing any of the strong mid-lane read that the Predator V2 core is known for. While it may sound slightly unbelievable to say that a ball has both mid-lane traction and down-lane snap together, this Jackal defies that logic. Out of the box, on the fresh, I was already a solid 3-2 left of my Forge Fire. The ball was clean through the fronts with a ridiculous backend finish; I could miss a solid two boards right at the arrows and still have it scream back into the pocket. Transitions came quickly for this ball, meaning I had to make bigger moves than normal when I started going high flush. Even with this in mind, the more I moved left and opened up the lane, the harder the Flash wanted to read the mid-lane and finish strong on the backend; there was no quit! I was able to throw all three games of league that night with this ball which is something I have not been able to do with just one in quite some time (I finished laying down 38 and crossing 26). Since that night, this ball has repeated its performance time and again. The confidence in throwing a pearl on the fresh that is this strong yet versatile enough to go the distance is a feeling that is nothing short of amazing. Jackal Flash. Those two words are on everyone’s tongue these days in my area as they now know that they are synonymous with an exceptional piece.

I switched to Motiv brand this year and I have not been disappointed in the performance for the most part. I got my Jackal Flash on release date and threw it out of box on THS oil pattern on my Wednesday night league. I average 195 in the house that I threw it in and finished with a 603 series. Nothing to write home about but still above average with a ball that I had no idea as to how it would react down lane. I have been using by Ripcord Flight to maintain better control as the houses I bowl in are much older and wood surface lanes. Jackal Flash provided down lane length with a lot of snap on back end that was controlled and finished strong through pins. I leave a lot of 4 pins but I noticed this ball has no problem clearing a rack as pin flight stays fairly low with lots of messengers flying left to right. I have the Nemesis as well and was rather disappointed in its finishing power. BUY THE FLASH if this is what you have noticed from the Nemesis as well. Truly a great, eye catching designed tri color bowling ball that more importantly will provide greater length and finishing power to us mere mortals.
