Meet the Mythic Jackal, a new kind of hybrid.  Our engineering goal with this ball was to create as much angle as possible while still providing true heavy oil performance attributes.  So often, shiny asyms are only ideal for moderate conditions so we set out to create a different kind of animal.  Now, when high volume patterns begin to transition and you need to create angle, the Mythic Jackal with 2:1 hybrid technology delivers exactly what you need.

The Predator™ V2 is the gold standard for high performance core design and it’s at the center of the Mythic Jackal.  It’s the same core found in the Jackal Ghost, the longest running asymmetrical bowling ball in the industry, now celebrating a 5-year anniversary!  This low RG / high differential asymmetric core has never before been combined with a hybrid cover stock on a worldwide Jackal release.  The Mythic is the first. 

The Mythic Jackal is also the first to feature Infusion HV 2:1 Hybrid Reactive cover technology. This means the shell features twice as much pearl as solid cover material.  This enables it to create incredible angle down lane without completely sacrificing traction.  The 33% load of solid cover gives the Mythic Jackal a strong footprint on the lane in heavy oil while the 67% load of pearl yields a powerful backend motion.   

When To Use:

  • Speed Dominant Bowlers: Bowlers with speed that overwhelms their rev rate will love that the Mythic Jackal™ allows them an angular ball option to use early in the block.  For speed dominant bowlers, pearls are often too clean and many hybrids are designed for higher friction environments.  The Mythic Jackal™ is a true heavy oil ball that speed dominant bowlers will be able to use to see down lane motion before the lanes have been broken down.
     
  • Balanced Bowlers:  For balanced bowlers, having a pearl asymmetric designed for oil is important.  Sometimes, moving into the oil with the “crankers” is advantageous, but without a stable core and stronger cover, the balanced bowlers and tweeners just seem to get overpowered.  The Mythic Jackal™ is designed for that early transition when bowlers start to use steeper angles, but there is still a decent concentration of oil on the lane.
     
  • Rev Dominant Bowlers:  Those with lower ball speed or higher rev rates will love being able to shape the Mythic Jackal™ from the start.  For those unable to use smoother rolling balls designed for oil like the Jackal™ Legacy, Jackal™ Ghost, or Trident™ Odyssey, the added length of the Mythic Jackal™ will provide that much needed length out of the gate.  Rev Dominant bowlers in high friction or moderate volume environments may use the Mythic Jackal™ as their fresh oil ball.

    Mythic Jackal - A very angular & strong heavy oil ball!

    The Mythic Jackal is heavy oil ball which is very angular. This ball features Predator V2 core, a low RG high differential asymmetrical weight blocks found in the Ghost. What makes this ball so angular is the Infusion HV 2:1 Hybrid Reactive cover. This means there is 67% pearl and 33% solid. The solid gives this ball plenty of traction in the oil but the pearl give you incredible angle down lane. You will have no trouble moving left and watching this ball come back to strike with lots of power! This is a can't miss ball that you have to have in your bag, pick one up today!

    Mythic Jackal

    First initial thoughts on this ball is "damn it's beautiful". I expected this new cover to be very clean through the front part of the lane without sacrificing down lane reaction with the 2:1 pearl/solid and that is exactly what I got. The first impression on the lanes is a better/stronger golden jackal. I used the same exact layout on my golden for the mythic and the shapes are nearly identical but the mythic is way stronger down lane. Roughly 3-4 boards stronger down lane and close to 8-9 overall stronger for me. I think this will be a very good compliment to the more solid high end asyms in the lineup. I also think that this ball will allow me to jump a zone when transition begins to start allowing me to play longer in the same part of the lane. If you like high end asyms this is a staple in your bag for sure.

    Layout - 70x5x15
    Revrate - 430-450
    Ball Speed - 17mph
    PAP - 5" over 1/2" up
