Jackal Flash

The Jackal™ series from MOTIV® represents the ultimate level of high performance and the Jackal™ Flash is an incredible addition. It is the strongest asymmetric pearl that MOTIV® has ever developed.  When bowling on higher volumes of oil with a solid asymmetric ball like the Jackal™ Ghost or the Alpha edition, the ball you transition to should provide similar strength, but be cleaner through the front of the lane with a faster response on the backend. And that is precisely what the Jackal™ Flash is built for.

The performance technology packed into the 3-color pearl Flash edition is synergistically merged and tuned with a 5000 Grit LSP finish to produce pin-crushing continuation. The asymmetric Predator® V2 core has a super low RG and is packed with differential to maximize revs and track flare. This powerful core is encased with the latest Infusion™ HV Pearl Reactive cover stock from MOTIV® to provide the length and powerful angle needed when transitioning on heavy oil patterns.

While designed as an early transition ball for heavy oil, rev dominant bowlers can use the Jackal™ Flash as the first ball out of their bag. Speed dominant bowlers who cannot usually throw a pearl ball will find it to be very versatile in more moderate conditions.

    Love it

    This ball is excellent in medium to heavy oil. It gets a bit difficult to control when the oil starts to dry up though. The real value, in my opinion, is the reaction the pins have off the ball. It absolutely wrecks ‘em.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    Love it

    I just recently got back into bowling. Joined a bowling league on Father's day and I was told my bowling balls I previously had were out dated. So I started looking at new equipment. I came across the Motiv brand and started looking at them. I purchased the Jackal Flash, United Revolt and the Ripcord Flight. After bowling with these 3 bowling balls I've became a Motiv fan. The Jackal Flash is my go to ball. It does exactly what I want it to do as long as I hit my mark. I love the smoothness down the lane then it hooks and sends the pins flying. I just purchased the Jackal Legacy and can't wait to see how well that one works. Absolutely love the Motiv brand.

    Disappointed

    Won the Jackal Flash last October. Shot 665 with it in first league action. Not much success after that. Ball just would not finish for me. Gave it away 2 weeks ago.

    This is my first Motiv ball

    I throw with medium revs, moderate to high speed...as I've gotten used to this ball, it's become my benchmark ball. I love the smooth roll I get, the sharp backend has bailed me out several times as well. In fact, I threw my first career perfect game with it on 4/11/21.

    I would recommend this to a friend

    I'm revising my first review.

    Like I said in my first review, I like Motiv products.
    I put this ball on the shelf. I had it re-drilled and worked
    it for a place in the bag. Not much room for error, but packs a punch. I have 10 Motiv balls , I will rank it at 5.
