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.

    disappointed

    I will start off by saying I'm a Motiv fan. Purchased this ball to take over when too dry for the Ghost. It's like a lug. Changed surfaces, still nothing. Another bowler in league
    a Motiv user has same ball same results. This one will stay on the shelf.

    best ball i have to date

    I looked at this ball for months, absolutely love the color scheme. Have not seen any Motiv brand balls on either league I bowl in, and have been in since 2014. The pro shop made suggestions upgrades based on how my other 2 balls(not Motiv) were drilled. I picked it up on December 1, 2020. I bowl 2 nights a week in different centers. My first game with it opened with 5 strikes. To date, I have only had 2 series in each league under 500 with this ball.
    Today, Jan 8, 2021, after a 2 week pause for the holidays, i bowled my highest single game and series to date.
    186, 223, and 273 for a 682 series. my average is 168 on this league. I have only started using a " hook: throwing style in 2019. This ball hooks when i throw it correctly, and sometimes corrects for me when I don't. And it rolls straight when I roll it straight to pick up a 7 or 10 pin.

    My past with Motiv

    My coach as a kid was inducted into the Cedar Rapids, Iowa Hall of Fame. He taught me well to the point in my freshman year of high school I chose to go with the Motiv brand. Sophomore year I ended up placing 8th in the state with my Jackal Ghost. After that high school season I started buying more and more Motiv equipment. Junior season came and I ended up going to state again with my Motive Forge. The newest ball I have gotten was the Jackal Flash. This ball has been nothing but good to me. I’ve shot my first 300 and 700 series with it. I love the ball motion and how hard it goes into the pocket. I would definitely recommend this ball to anyone. 5/5 stars

    Something New!

    This ball is something special, threw 300 with it OOB! put it to work when the Ghost started leaving corner pins and I am able to throw it in the same exact spot and get a cleaner motion with more energy on the backend. what a great ball to compliment the Jackal line!
