   Jackal Rising

   This ball is the newest introduction into the Jackal line of bowling balls. The MOTIV Jackal Rising features the new Coercion HV2 coverstock combined with the Predator V3 core. It's strong in the front of the lane, but yet smooth enough through it that the ball does not burn up. It reads the mid lane for change of direction and retains enough energy for great continuation through the pins.
   
   It will be a great fit in your bag on medium to heavy oil. I have the used Rising on everything from high to medium volume sports patterns, as well as on your typical house shots. It’s strong and continuous enough to handle the sports patterns and blends out the house patterns like nothing I've ever thrown.
   
   My Jackal Rising is laid out pin up above my ringer finger, CG slightly shifted right and extra hole down. Since this ball's release it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This ball is so SMOOTH that it allows me to keep my angles closed and play up the lane. As the lanes open up its not afraid to come around the corner. Another winning BIG ball in the MOTIV LINE.

   Jackal Rising

   Review:
   The old saying a legend never dies, therefore the legend has returned in the new Jackal. The Jackal Rising is by far the strongest Jackal to date and the pins won’t stand a chance. The Jackal Rising brings together the new Coercion HV2 (High Volume 2nd Edition) cover stock and the Predator V3 core. This combo gives the Jackal Rising more friction and traction through the oil and then finishes with impressive power MOTIV will live to have. If you want a ball that just flat out hooks but still finish the Jackal Rising will be for you.
   
   Weight Block: Predator V3
   Cover Stock: Coercion HV2 Reactive
   Finish: 2000 Grit Laser Scan Sanded
   
   Comments:
   All I can say is wow. I loved the Jackal Ghost and was always my go to ball when conditions got weird and one of the few asymmetricals I had confidence to throw on all conditions, but the Rising is something better. What I love about the Jackal Rising is this will give a little more hook down lane and with my high rev rate I can play multiple angles with it and still have the confidence to knock 10 pins down. Higher rev players will love this as well and be the go to ball on heavier, flatter patterns. Medium to lower rev payer will love this ball because the Jackal Rising will be that ball that you can get out of your comfort zone but still have the confidence to get high scores.
   
   Likes: More friction down lane; early, smooth motion; impressive power through the pins
   Dislikes: None.
   
   I recommend the MOTIV Jackal Rising to all types of bowlers.

   REACTION
   
   The Jackal Rising is another step forward in the evolution of the Jackal line. The Rising takes what made the Ghost such a huge success and improves upon it. This ball hooks a lot! It reads early and continues hooking across the entire line. The Rising isn't as forward off the spot which will allow bowlers to get in and play steeper angles on heavier oil. This adds to overall versatility. With a strong slow response, the Rising also thrives when playing up the lane (shallow angles) on heavier oil. Being able to hook in oil and not overreact off the friction, the Rising is able to be utilized by a multitude of different styles.

   COMPARISONS
   
   In my Jackal Rising ball motion video I compared it to the Jackal Ghost, Trident Quest, and the Forza SS. The Rising is a full zone (5 boards) stronger than Ghost which came as a pleasant surprise to me. The other difference I saw between the Rising and Ghost were how they responded to friction from steeper angles. The Rising was able to recover and continue through the pins from deeper inside than the Ghost. The Ghost is much more forward off the spot. As for the Quest and SS, they both have less overall hook than the Ghost and by extension the Jackal Rising. Check out the video to see how all the shapes stack up against each other in the ball comparison section.
   
   
   SUMMARY
   
   The Jackal Rising hooks. It hooks a lot. Not only does it hook, but it can carry from steep angles which is something I can't say for most big, early, asymm balls. After I drilled it up and got to throw it for the first time, I kept moving left to try and leave a flat 10. I'd strike, move left, strike, move left, strike, move left, and kept on striking. I couldn't get the ball to flat 10 on the house pattern I was bowling on. Given the fact I bowl on old wood lanes, I was completely stunned it never happened. The Jackal Rising is much more versatile than one might think. It rolls fantastic in heavier oil playing up the lane, but if you have to move in and open up the lane, your carry won't suffer. I've drilled two so far and have another on the way. Lastly, the cover responds extremely well to surface changes and polish. While the overall motion doesn't change drastically, polish will allow you to stay in the same zone for much longer. If you are looking for a strong versatile asymm, do yourself a favor and get a Jackal Rising!

   Jackal Rising - It’s back and stronger then ever!

   Motiv’s new release the Jackal Rising is a strong asymmetrical ball designed for heavy oil. This ball is engineered to slow down quickly to help you combat heavy oil conditions and big over/under shots with a smooth backend reaction. The Coercion HV2 coverstock with the Predator V3 core really digs into the oil with impressive power and continuation through the pins. Because this ball is smooth, I feel it will get a lot of use and a must for your bag.
