Rogue Assassin

5.0Read Reviews

The proven core and cover of the Rogue Assassin combine for an unstoppable combination.  Bowlers searching for a benchmark control ball on medium oil have found their match in the Rogue™ Assassin.  The Rogue™ Assassin provides traction in the oil, but with less total hook than a Jackal™ Ghost or Forge™.  Increased friction and a controllable down lane motion merge for a deadly combination.

The proven Sigma™ core is the standard for benchmark performance.  The Sigma™ core provides stability in the mid-lane that bowlers expect from a medium oil benchmark ball.

Coercion™ HFS is finally available on a medium oil ball!  This proven cover has been used for heavier oil covers and is now available on the Rogue™ Assassin.   Coercion™ HFS is intended to increase friction in moderate to high volume environments to provide a controllable down lane motion.

    Explosive

    This is the first ball out the bag in my leagues. Reads the lanes well, responds to friction and it just explodes at the point of impact. Carrying corner pins with ease. Once I start moving left when everyone else is struggling. I still get explosive carry. #motivation #getmotivated #staymotivated

    Watch out for the Assassin!

    The Motiv Rogue Assassin is the follow up to the Motiv Rogue Blade and features the same Sigma Core. The biggest difference is that the Assassin comes with the same cover off the Jackal Ghost. I drilled my Assassin with the pin under the ring, which is the same layout on the Blade. I was expecting this ball to be a bit smoother in the back and stronger overall. I like my Blade with some surface, so having a solid version with a cover like the Ghost was just what I was looking for.

    My first session was on a fresh house shot and I brought out a fresh Jackal Ghost along with the Rogue Assassin. On the fresh, my Ghost was able 3 boards stronger. Being a smoother ball, I found I had more area with the Assassin, and when the lanes broke down, I was able to chase the oil inside and stick with the ball longer. My second session was during a local 8-gamer tournament. I started with the Ghost and was able to transition to the Assassin after game 2. I played in the same area and just kept moving in through game 7 before switching to my Venom Recoil.

    For league, this would be a great option as the first ball out of your bag. For those with slower ball speeds like myself, I’d say this is just above your benchmark ball. You’ll be able to switch to a Rogue Blade or Venom Recoil with ease once the lanes break down.

    Smooth!

    This ball looks super smooth on the lanes. Seems to be a house shot killer. Traction and control.

    Amazing

    I absolutely love this ball. The Sigma core is an absolute perfect compliment to my game, and the Jackal Ghost has been my go to ball for many different patterns. So to have that cover with the Sigma core is absolutely breath taking. This ball is strong; I recommend a layout that rounds out the ball if you want that classic benchmark motion. I had it drilled to have a similar motion to my Ghost. 10/10 would highly recommend.
