View Privacy PolicyBest polished Jackal to date. First Motiv polished ball that I didn’t have to adjust the surface on ever. Whatever the hybrid combination it is spot on, the Mythic gets though carry down like nothing I have thrown in 5 years. A lot can be said about a ball that a player can count on to turn the corner every time. Just enough midlane to get the ball started and the Hybrid cover keeps the ball continuing. Definitely something special.
As the title says…the first hybrid Jackal is perfect…almost.
I laid the Mythic out 60 x 4.5 x 40, and it’s exactly as advertised. It really fills a hole in my bag that I barely knew was there. It’s almost difficult to describe the reaction, but the best I can do is that it reads early without rolling early, and it’s angular but not too sharp. I’ve been able to throw it now on a couple different length house shots (41, 45 feet), and a flatter 42’ sport shot. PLENTY strong, early enough read that you don’t throw it through the breakpoint easily, but the highlight is that it turns the corner harder than most balls of it’s overall strength. It’s a pretty unique reaction and I haven’t really found a time that I can’t throw it yet.
The only thing I don’t LOVE about the Mythic is totally a personal preference thing. I’m not a huge fan of the copper color on it. That gets less and less noticeable to me though….every time it brings 10 pins into the pit with it.

60 x 4” x 30
Not all legends are myths. The venerated Predator V2 core (2.47 RG, .054 Diff, .015 Int. Diff) makes an epic return with the new Mythic Jackal. The new Infusion HV 2:1 Hybrid Reactive coverstock is paired with this proven core technology to create an excellent quick-response ball meant to combat medium-heavy lane conditions.
I used a 4” pin in my layout so that I could elicit a strong core influence for the ball’s shape, creating significant flare for more hook potential. To give myself a feel for the strength of the reaction, I got lined up with my Iron Forge on a fresh house shot, laying down 16 crossing 13. In the end it took a 5-3 left to finally keep the Mythic in the pocket. Even with the coverstock being two parts pearl, the traction generated on the lane is impressive. The combination of cover strength and core power creates strong midlane read, but there is still a huge backend snap once the ball finds the down lane friction. Versatility is also a huge trait of the Mythic as it is one of the few balls in my arsenal that I have been able to go wire to wire with in a league night without even thinking of throwing another piece; strong enough to bite through the early oil yet clean and quick enough getting beyond 20 and the deep friction.
Given the wide of a range of optimum performance that the Mythic Jackal possesses, this truly is a special piece to have in an arsenal. Having a reaction and shape like this with the sheer amount of strength it exhibits makes this release something everyone should consider. A legend in the making.

I drilled my Mythic Jackal to 60x5x30 just to smooth out some of the angle at the breakpoint. I was surprised to find that this ball reacts through the front part of the lane like a pearl with it being super clean, but once the ball see some friction it picks up like a solid. This hybrid cover stock is 2 parts pearl and 1 part Solid. The first of its kind for Motiv. Within the first week of throwing this ball I shot 300 and 813 the same night. This ball continues through the ball exceptionally well. So far I have been really enjoying this ball and it will be a ball that is staying in my bag for a while. It is so versatile on so many conditions.

Let me start out by saying this ball is the new standard when you hit the lanes, the mythic jackal gives you everything you want and need when you hit the lanes for league or tourney. The infusion HV hybrid coverstock that’s two part pearl to one part solid is just a fantastic combination of traction in heavier volumes while still clearing the fronts giving you that length and backend angularity. Don’t be afraid to get left with this ball that’s for sure as it comes off the friction with so much power for optimum carry at the pin deck. Yet another can’t miss release by the best bowling equipment company in the game. Get out and order yours today.
