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.

    WOW

    This ball does it all. Bowled league with it straight out of the box. Shot a 782. Bowled on a sport shot the next weekend but did knock the surface down to 1000 grit. Great ball. I will probably order 2 more.

    Best of the lot

    Onyx is a Tournament ball. Too strong for House patterns needs a lot of oil and length to see the true hitting Power. Onyx, Ghost & Crimson are the greatest 1, 2, 3 punch to have

    About Me I am a high rev, low ball speed one hander and I enjoy playing multiple different parts of the lane.

    Lovely hook monster!

    The Jackal Onyx quickly became a staple in my bag, for any heavy oil lane condition and for playing some straighter angles, this ball was capable of it.

    The blend of leverage and the power of the Predator Core made this ball very strong in oil with the out of box finish, while also allowing it to store plenty of energy to use through the pins, even with a higher rev rate.

    Heavy oil ball for all styles

    The Onyx is the strongest ball I have thrown to date, hands down. Even more impressive is the continuation the ball has even though it creates so much traction in the front part of the lane. The Predator V2 core matched with the Leverage HXC solid cover stock is a fantastic combination and I am sold on the Duramax additive! All the covers with it have retained their texture longer requiring less surface prep and maintenance. Overall, the Onyx is one of the most useful Big assym ball on the market that can be used by all styles.

    Second coming of the Ghost!

    The Jackal Onyx follows in the footsteps of the greatest Asym solid ever made, the Jackal Ghost, by offering a stellar amount of on lane control combined with the torque of an asymmetric ball and the continuation that fans have come to expect from the Jackal line. This is the most overall hook we have seen yet from the Jackal line by giving similar strength in the front of the lane to the Jackal Ambush, but with more downlane shape. Expect this to be the biggest ball in your bag that you can plan on hooking on any lane condition. This is a piece we absolutely needed in the line and I can't wait for more people to experience the raw power of the Jackal Onyx!
