The claws are out with the new Motiv Jackal Onyx. This beast isn't just another ball in the Jackal line—it's a whole new level. We’ve taken everything that makes the Jackal line unstoppable and cranked it up. With cutting-edge coverstock tech building upon the Subzero Forge, the massive Predator V2 core, and Duramax Technology; the Jackal Onyx is here to devour the competition.  This monster is built for maximum hook and relentless power.

This isn’t just another solid cover—this is a statement. With Duramax tech, the Jackal Onyx holds its surface better, meaning it performs the same in game three as it does on your first throw. No performance drop-off—just consistent, predictable results. And Duramax isn’t just about endurance; it’s about traction. This cover has massive teeth. The Leverage HXC solid coverstock is an evolved version of the Subzero Forge's Leverage MXC, but with even more grip and hook potential, giving you next-level traction without sacrificing backend power. With a 1000-grit LSS finish, the Jackal Onyx is dialed in to rip through heavy oil.

The Predator V2 is a proven winner—MOTIV’s most dominant high-performance core. This core revs up fast and delivers insane flare, giving you the kind of hook that turns heads and breaks records. It’s asymmetric, it’s powerful, and it’s everything you need to crush even the heaviest oil patterns. It’s designed to give you the strongest motion of any ball in your bag.  Get your hands on the Jackal Onyx and unleash the claws.

    Jackal Onyx is a BEAST!

    I am a right-handed/1-handed above average speed/rev rate Motiv Staff member.

    The Jackal Onyx “got that dog in it!”

    Out of box, the hook potential is incredible and seemed to break in after 1-2 games. The overall hook potential is massive, but does not sacrifice energy or shape through the pins.

    Building on the footprint of the Subzero Forge, the Jackal Onyx digs in the oil just as strong, but with a faster response compared to the Subzero Forge. The Predator V2 core never disappoints and continues the legacy of unmatched performance in the lineup.

    While the Onyx Jackal will perform best on heavier oil volumes, I was surprised by the ability of this ball to regain energy even from steeper angles. For speed dominant or lower rev players, the Jackal Onyx provides a LOT of forgiveness on fresher patterns and allows you to transition into cleaner Jackal Ghost/Crimson Jackals as the pattern breaks down.

    The Jackal Onyx from Motiv is a very strong ball. Featuring the proven Predator V2 asymmetrical core, this ball delivers a fast spinning core, high flare, and incredible power. Wrapped in the Leverage HXC Solid Reactive coverstock, it’s engineered with Duramax technology to resist lane shine, ensuring consistent performance shot after shot.
    Perfect for heavy oil conditions, the Jackal Onyx provides exceptional control and plenty of power to smash through pins and carry out those stubborn corners effortlessly.

    Jackal Onyx

    The Motiv Jackal Onyx is here, and it’s bringing the performance and versatility you'd expect from the legendary Jackal series. As a speed-dominant bowler, I rely on balls that maintain energy down the lane without sacrificing control in the midlane, and the Jackal Onyx delivered just that. In the midlane, the Onyx starts to pick up strong traction but doesn’t quit early. The backend motion is a smooth, continuous arc that provides a reliable read and devastating pin action. For speed-dominant players like myself, it’s crucial to have a ball that creates traction without burning up, and the Jackal Onyx exceeded expectations.

    Compared to the Jackal Ghost, the Onyx provides a slightly earlier and more rounded shape, making it a better option when you need control in high-volume oil. It fits perfectly into the lineup for those looking for a reliable heavy-oil ball with a controllable motion.
