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.

    Jackal Flash!!!!!!!!

    The Jackal Flash features the Infusion Cover has turned into my most favorite Pearl Cover. I compared my Jackal Flash alongside the Alpha Jackal. While having similar layouts on both, I knew my angles would have to be more opened when throwing my Jackal Flash. I was mentally prepped knowing how fast the Infusion Cover likes to cover as seen with the Forge Fire and Supra just to name a couple. My immediate reaction was a big WOW after seeing I was approx. 7-8 boards left with my feet from the Alpha Jackal. While there was a defined friction spot on the lane, I was able to go a few more boards further with ease and the Jackal Flash did not want to quit on the backend.
    The Jackal Flash is something everybody can use. What I love the most about it is when there is a defined hook spot downlane, I can stay ahead of the field getting left and project the Jackal Flash to that spot while having the confidence in it to hook back to the pocket. For a piece that is this strong overall, both cover and core, the Jackal Flash still has plenty of power getting through the pins. For the tournament players especially, this is a huge piece to have in the arsenal and pairs well with many styles. The Jackal Flash has that WOW factor both on and off the lanes.

    Jackal Flash is the standard for Asymmetric Pearls

    I've had the chance to throw the MOTIV Jackal Flash for a bit now, and I'm loving the clean Infusion cover on the Jackal Ghost core. They're a great match for each other. The Ghost core loves to rev up, and the Infusion cover lets the ball rev as much as it wants without losing energy because it's so clean on the oil. This allows the Jackal Flash to save a ton of energy for the backend, and if you've watched any videos, you already know what this ball is capable of when it gets to the end of the pattern.

    I can definitely see myself throwing this ball in leagues when I need to get in a little bit, and in tournaments where there is a lot of volume but I don't want the ball to read too early - like on higher friction surfaces, or long oil patterns that have a low oil volume.

    Here's my YouTube video for the Jackal Flash if you'd like to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E6qRiaFfqE

    Flashy and Fantastic

    The brand new Jackal Flash is incredible. The first 3-color ball from Motiv not only provides great shelf appeal but the performance is even better. The Infusion™ HV Pearl Reactive wrapped around the Predator V2 core is an incredible mix and gives you everything you need. The previously released Alpha Jackal and the brand new Jackal Flash create the perfect two ball combination for heavier and longer patterns. The cover of this ball allows it to be clean through the front part of the lane but with the quick response and strong core, the Jackal Flash allows for optimal performance on a lot of patterns and in heavy oil. If you’re bowling league or tournaments and enjoy seeing your ball hook and destroy the pins, this is the ball for you

    This. Ball. HOOKS

    This is one of the most impressive pieces I've ever thrown. Matching the insane power of the Predator V2 Core with the extremely fast motion of Infusion Pearl creates an absolutely explosive response downlane on higher volumes of oil. Every time I throw this ball it amazes me more and more with how many parts of the lane I can play with it. This is by far, the fastest asymmetric pearl I have ever thrown.

    Jackal Flash

    The Jackal Flash is a new pearl asymmetrical ball from Motiv featuring the Predator V2 core and the Infusion HV pearl reactive cover. I drilled my Flash pin up with the mass next to my thumb. I have already found success with this ball out of the box with 299-770 in league. For me being 58 and not really ever playing the middle part of the lane much, this ball is so clean through the fronts and I can stay pretty much between 2nd-3rd arrow area after my Alpha Jackal starts to check up too early. I believe this will also be a great tournament ball for later in blocks as the lanes transition. The Alpha Jackal and Jackal Flash are an amazing 1-2 punch to have in the bag.

    With the Flash being the first 3-color Motiv ball, I can’t wait to see what the future holds with the next ball releases.
