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.

    You need this ball.

    This ball is your hard hitter. Lots of oil? No problem! Worried about lane shine? Not a problem. It consistently keeps a good move and while a strong cover and core, it extremely versatile.

    I drilled mine with a fairly strong layout and still can use it as my first ball out the bag and on many nights, it will be the only ball out of the bag.

    Not your typical big asym

    You get the traction and early read like the Legacy and Ambush, but it continues so much more down lane. This ball can cover more boards than the Legacy, it definitely needs oil though. This ball may not be a good fit on all house shots, but if you're speed dominant or play on any heavier volume pattern, you need this ball.

    Big dog!

    Admittedly, I have way too many bowling balls, they are all MOTIV though. This Onyx or as I call it BIG DOG is a BEAST. My teammate bought one recently as well and we both agree it might be the best ball we have thrown on fresh oil, its almost like cheating, not to mention how good it looks.

    Perfect replacement for the Jackal Legacy

    I just got this ball to replace my #16 Jackal Legacy. To me the Onyx seems just as strong as the Legacy, but definitely has more motion down lane. The Duramax additive definitely makes a difference with the surface finish longevity. The Jackal Legacy was a good ball, but it did lane shine quicker than I wanted it to. The Onyx definitely needs some volume. It's definitely for the heavier volume or lower ratio house shots. If the volume is there, this piece will not let you down. It's definitely a great combo with the Jackal Ghost and Crimson Jackal.
