Since 2017, the legendary Jackal Ghost has been reigning terror on heavy oil. It's the longest running asymmetric bowling ball in the world!

With paranormal performance, the Jackal Ghost delivers more total hook potential than any Jackal before it.  It's scary good! The Predator V2 weight block is at the core of MOTIV's Jackal Ghost bowling ball. Featuring a low RG and loads of differential, this asymmetric design is easy to rev and produces massive track flare. 

Combining the physics of the Predator V2 with the chemistry of the new Coercion HFS (High Friction Solid) cover stock, the Jackal Ghost elevates heavy oil performance. Coercion HFS is the most aggressive cover stock to date on a bowling ball in the Jackal product line. Turned with a 3000 Grit Lss Finish, bowlers will see both excellent mid-lane read and unbelievable continuation. When you want to take your bowling performance to the next level, you want high-quality MOTIV bowling balls, like the Jackal Ghost.  Get the top performance and hook on the lane that you’ve always needed. 

WHEN TO USE: 

  • Speed Dominant - For a bowler with high ball speed or those with lower rev rates, the Jackal Ghost serves as an outstanding benchmark option due to the cleaner cover and controllable motion down lane.  The versatility of drilling offered by the Predator V2 also makes the Ghost a great benchmark piece for speed dominant bowlers. 
  • Balanced - Players who are balanced in their speed to rev rate ratio find the Ghost to be a must have for fresh oil and longer patterns.  The Jackal Ghost is ideal for balanced bowlers to use in a variety of lower friction environments. 
  • Rev Dominant - Over the past several years AJ Johnson and EJ Tackett have proven that the Jackal Ghost is a must have for the rev dominant player.  Due to the coverstock being moderately clean, a rev dominant player is able to use the Jackal Ghost without worrying about it “burning up” or getting too forward down lane like so many heavy oil asymmetrical balls. If that sounds nice to you, then you’ll definitely want to pick up a new Ghost bowling ball from Motiv Bowling before you go back to the lanes.

    Legend

    There are multiple reasons this ball has been in the current lineup for so many years. It is very versatile for being a big asymmetric ball. I mainly use it on house shots, but it's valuable and offers a consistent read on sport conditions as well. The carry is the difference maker for me. Light hits, high hits, it carries as well as anything I've ever thrown. Overall, this one is a winner.

    I like it

    For me it's perfect for the houses I bowl at, where the lane surfaces are worn. The Ghost cover is just strong enough yet not too strong. The Ghost saves enough energy to carry the rack quite often and is very predictable for me on house shots.

    It works well on certain sport patterns, like long patterns, but it harder to use on short patterns, where I think I will get a urethane ball instead.

    I paired the Ghost with a Primal Ghost for a fantastic combo to play off each other in normal conditions, no regrets on both purchases.

    Perfect ball.

    This is a great ball that never fails me, Heavy oil or medium oil works best with this ball, sometimes shorter patterns but depends on how much volume is on the lane. Been using it for about a year and a half and it still performs just as the day I bought it. 5/5 stars!

    Fantastic addition!

    Picked this up after falling in love with the Nuclear Forge and Pride Dynasty. Wanted to expand my arsenal with a nice strong ball. This was the exact fit I was looking and hoping for. This ball is an absolute beast. This is a solid (yes pun intended) upgrade piece for those wanting to make the step up in their bowling career.

    First motiv ball

    This was the first Motiv ball I’ve ever purchased and love it! The Jackal Ghost delivers a smooth and continuous motion through the pins...more than any other ball I have ever thrown. I did take the surface to 2000 after a couple weeks, but I’m sold on MOTIV!
