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.

    MOTIV JACKAL ONYX

    The Jackal Onyx has arrived and is making a statement. Consistent with the Jackal line is the PREDATOR V2 core wrapped in a aggressive LEVERAGE HXC coverstock which provides traction when no other ball can handle the volume.
    The Onyx sits in between the very early Ambush and the GOAT GHOST.
    The Onyx provides early traction and smooth continuation down lane.
    SPEED DOMINANT players looking for core help to see motion down lane will love this ball.

    For high volume or longer patterns the Onyx will be a staple in everyones bag

    300 on 3rd try!!!

    At 64, I started bowling for fun with my wife and friends less than a year ago. We got talked into joining a league and then got serious. I decided to do a big upgrade from a beginner ball to the new Onyx. The 3rd time I used the ball (1st night on a new league) I threw a perfect game, 300!!! This Ball is absolutely amazing!!!

    Motiv Jackal Onyx

    I've been using the Jackal Onyx sine I got it drilled before league on Monday morning the 13th, used it for all three games, shot a 634. I'm almost 75, definitely not speed or rev dominant. I stand usually 28-30, with the second arrow for a target. It's now Thursday, the 23rd. On Monday I rolled my second 300, this time with the Jackal Onyx, and scored a 746 series.

    Monster on the lanes

    Always been a fan of the Jackal line and this ball is a beast. Only got to use it so far on a long 49ft pattern but this thing hooks when nothing else would. The Onyx hits like a truck straight out of the box and didn't have to fight with over/under conditions. Just move a little left as the night goes on and conditions break down and this thing keeps roaring back.

    Best Jackal since the Ghost?

    Maximum traction? Maximum power? Maximum hook potential? Yeah. This one has got it all.
    Duramax was destined for the Predator V2 core, and the results are even better than imagined.

    Previous solid Jackals were always very early, and quick to roll out for me, trapping them on heavy and long oil patterns. The Onyx is the first I see that still retains a lot of energy and has plenty of downlane continuation through the pins. Paired with the Duramax's ability to really amplify surface changes. This just might be the most versatile Jackal since the Ghost.
    Also, probably the biggest hook potential in a bowling ball on the market right now.
