View Privacy PolicyMotiv’s newest release the Jackal Legacy is a very strong Asymmetric solid which will really dig into the oil. What makes this ball so impressive to me however is even though it digs in quick, it’s surprising how much strong down lane motion and continuation you still get! As oil volumes get higher and higher at tournaments the Coercion MXC cover will be your go to combat the conditions while the proven low RG Predator V2 core will give you the control and power you will need! This ball instantly went into my tournament bag!

The Legacy of the Jackal line lives on in this latest offering from the high-performance positions on MOTIV’s ball chart. The impressively strong Coercion MXC (finished at 2000 LSS) provides the traction for the Jackal Legacy while the famed Predator V2 core (2.47RG, .054 Diff) produces impressive flare and power for superior performance.
I laid my Legacy out the same way as I laid out my Alpha Jackal as I wanted an apples to apples comparison. What I got was an apples to oranges comparison. Where the Alpha finds the friction and makes a smooth transition towards the pocket, the Legacy hits the friction earlier with a vengeance and create a much more angular reaction. Though the Coercion cover is much stronger overall than that which is on its predecessor, its ability to retain energy for a strong backend motion is unique amongst its peers throughout the industry. In comparison to the most recent complimentary piece released, where the Forge Flare is built to be early and forward when it makes its motion to the pocket, this Jackal iteration creates downlane angle with more forgiveness on the same heavy oil patterns. With a 4” pin to PAP layout I routinely see 6+ inches of flares which helps tame the fresh patterns I am on while opening up my pocket entry angles. Whether you are speed dominant or rev dominant, I believe this piece can be drilled to give everyone the full suite of advantages this technology combination provides.

I’ll just start out by saying this ball is exactly what you think it is, when you think of a strong ball immediately you think of the Jackal line. The Legacy keeps that jackal promise your used to seeing. This review is only going to be based off of 6 games to this point but the first thing that sticks out to me about this piece is the versatility it brings. I drilled this one up pin over bridge, it reads the mids incredibly well and still gets down lane not wasting any energy leaving plenty of power at the pin deck for 10 in the pit. This piece will roll mean on a variety of shots and work perfect for several different styles of bowlers. Yet another insane release by the best company in bowling today.

It felt like it was a matter of time before the Corecion MXC Solid cover was going to be put on a core with a bigger motor and I could not be more happy with the results!
OOB, the Legacy looks like it has a sheen to it which made this ball go a little further down the lane than the Forge Flare. The Legacy reads the middle really well and has a strong, controllable motion off the end of the pattern.
I sanded the ball with a fresh 2000 CTD pad and the motion reminds me so much of the OG Jackal, one of my favorite asymmetrical balls of all time. Recently I bowled a tournament on a long sport pattern and I had a look nobody else had. I was standing further left than everybody else and my misses outside were able to make it back to the pocket while other bowlers were leaving washouts and 2-10 combinations.
I’ve been impressed with the versatility of this ball so far and will absolutely be bringing this ball to tournaments with me!

The brand new Jackal Legacy is a combination of the Jackal core and the coverstock from the Forge Flare. This will always be the first ball out of my bag a tournament. I drilled 2 different Legacies, one drilled pin up and the other one was pin down. The pin up gave me more forgiveness when I missed outside my target. The pin down was much smoother off the spot, its response to friction was not as hard as the pin up. This ball is one of my new favorites for sure!
