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.

    HOOKS

    Low rev bowler who usually plays straighter even on house shots. But this ball is nuts, ball comes back hard from anywhere and keep going for me. First motiv ball for me and I love it so far.

    Hits like a Mack Truck

    This ball hits like a Mack Truck. It is the only ball I have that hooks on my Tuesday league night. It requires minor adjustment as the night goes on. It delivers through out the night. My average over the last three weeks is 30 pin higher since I starting using the Onyx. This ball is a beast.

    Amazing!

    Haven't gotten so comfortable with a ball this fast in a long time. Most times I throw a few games and see what the ball likes and where I get comfortable. The onyx was money from practice FRAME#1.

    Shot 1st 300 on 5th game

    Big time jackal fan - Already have a Crimson, Mythic, and Ghost. Hd to have this ball. Threw my 1st 300 with this ball on the 5th game out of the box. Predictable hard-hitting motion downlane. Threw my second 300 two days later with my Crimson. The cover DOES retain its surface for quite a few more games than other covers. I found that 1000 was a bit too much for my lane conditions - Changed to 3000 and i found that I could really control this ball with hand position. Can't say enough good things about ANY of the Jackals, but this one is especially pretty and holds a special place for me as my first 300.

    So Strong It's Smooth

    The Jackal Onyx is slotting in exactly where I wanted it to in my bag. Knowing it was going to be as strong in the mid lane as it is, I wanted to double down on that and make sure it would be a good to great addition in my arsenal for when I travel. I chose a short pin layout that has it get into a very early roll making it that much more ideal for when I am battling heavier volume patterns such as when I go to the bowl the Ozarks, Nationals or a sport shot league.

    If you are in need of a big asym solid for your bag, this is the ball you are looking for.
