Mythic Jackal

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

    I got this ball after speaking with a Motiv technical rep and yesterday I bowled my best series at 674. It's my first year bowling and started with a 156 average and when I purchased the Jackal Legacy my average went to the 190s, now with the Mythic I've been able to play the transition much better. Still learning and have a ways to go but loving the Motiv line!

    I would recommend this to a friend

    About Me I bought my first ball in 2022, 6months before my 30th birthday. I'm completely hooked. Im dedicated and progressing quickly. Look out for Robin Stumpf in PBA and USBC tournaments starting 2024/2025. .

    This is arguably one of the best balls for transition!

    I still do not own this ball. It has been on my radar for a while now. Aside from being one the coolest looking balls I have ever seen. The cover formula and core combo make this ball a transition beast. If you play with people that use urethane, worry no more! Pick up the Mythic Jackal. Once the oil starts to get pushed around and you see dry spots midlane and slick spots down lane, you pull out your Mythic Jackal. This thing is like a train on tracks. It goes where you tell it to and carries energy well. I can't wait to have my own Mythic Jackal

    First 300 and 800

    Dropped from 16lbs to 15lbs and a buddy gave me a few Motiv balls to try the weight. Fell in love with them and shortly after I picked up the Mythic. Bowled two games with it and loved it. Then on a Friday league I was in heaven with it. This ball gave me room to miss right and I was in the zone. Shot 266-300-268 on one of the hardest pairs in the house and got my first 300 and first 800 against my father. It was awesome. Continued to crush the lanes with this ball since getting it. My averages has jumped 15 pins because the carry this ball gives. Can’t recommend this ball enough to my friends.

    Best ball in my bag

    Was a DV8 Thrower 'til I picked up this ball and it quickly became my favorite. Length and snap is what hooked me to this ball.

    Best Ball I’ve ever thrown

    The moment I got this ball I thought it’d be a great addition to my arsenal and man was I right. Definitely the best ball in my bag, especially being such an angular ball it’s really changed my game. Next step is the Venom Coral and the Jackal Ghost
