The Mythic Jackal is a great addition to the Jackal line. What impressed me immediately was the very quick response downlane. The more I threw it, I noticed how easily I could see the lanes as they transitioned. With the pearl covers on the previous Jackal Flash, I felt I could get into the Mythic sooner with the Hybrid cover. This will allow me to see the midlane transition as well and giving me a bit more range of changing the coverstock if I need to. The downlane shape that this creates is unexpected as it recovers from angles that I generally don’t play as much, but gives me the comfort having something big that doesn’t burn out.
If this isn’t a homerun, I don’t know what it is. The Mythic Jackal creates a shape in a bigger piece that I simply don’t usually see – could partially be due to my style and preference of playing the lanes. The way the Mythic Jackal handles the oil on the lanes is simply impressive especially with the overall shape that it creates on the lanes. This has been a great complement to my Trident Odyssey and Iron Forge.

The Mythic Jackal has become my favorite shiny surface release in the Jackal line! The Mythic Jackal is just as versatile as my Jackal Ghost, but handles older lane surfaces and medium volumes of oil better than the more aggressive Ghost coverstock.
Using the same layout for both balls (50 x 5.5” x 45), I find more length and a few less boards overall hook, but a stronger shape downlane. The Mythic Jackal allows me to transition left as a right handed bowler as the pattern breaks down without having to manipulate my release as much as the stronger Ghost cover.
The Mythic Jackal also allows me the option to play straighter angles with an asymmetric core on fresher heavy volume patterns.
The coverstock has held up very well to lane play and also performed well with a slight dry scuff using a 2000 grit pad.
Several have asked me about my choice between the Jackal Ghost and Mythic Jackal, however, they are equally unique despite sharing the Jackal name. I use both of these bowling balls for different occasions and they compliment each other well.

I drilled mine 90x2x45; all I can say is WOW!
Really clean through the fronts with a lot of pop downlane.

I personally didn't match up that well with the Jackal Flash and the Golden Jackal due to my ball roll, rev rate, and ball speed, but the Mythic Jackal took everything good about both of those balls and combined it into one. The Flash was a bit too clean and fast for my liking and the Golden handled oil well but was too slow off the spot. The Mythic sits directly between the two balls perfectly with just as much response to friction as the Flash and more ability to recover downlane, but handles oil amazingly! I am able to open up the lane with the Mythic so much sooner than I used to be able to and allows me to get into my favorite part of the lane. It's a perfect complement to the Jackal Ghost and Jackal Legacy as it clears the fronts better but still retains that amazing Jackal shape downlane. It also works extremely well with balls like the Ripcord Velocity and Iron Forge as it gives me a perfect idea of when to switch to those balls. This is easily the best shiny Jackal Motiv has ever made and it goes everywhere with me!

When I got this ball I was really looking forward to it. I drilled it with the same layout Nick Pahr uses as his tester lay out the 55x5 1/2x35 and oh my god does the ball work well with that drill pattern. Right out of the box I had to move deep on a fresh house pattern and get more movement out of it than any other piece of Motiv Equipment I have. I have helped my local pro shop get a few orders for this ball just because people watched me throw the ball and saw the movement. This is one piece that I can actually stand in the same place for a majority of the games throw.
Recommend this ball 10 times out of 10 great piece motiv
