Since 2017, the legendary Jackal Ghost has been reigning terror on heavy oil. With paranormal performance, it delivers more total hook potential than any previous Jackal with no loss in continuation. It's scary good! The Predator V2 weight block, first used on the Jackal LE, is now at the core of the Jackal Ghost. Featuring a low RG and loads of differential, this asymmetric design is easy to rev and produces massive track flare.

Combining the physics of the Predator V2 with the chemistry of the new Coercion HFS (High Friction Solid) cover stock, the Jackal Ghost elevates heavy oil performance to a new level. Coercion HFS is the most aggressive cover stock to date on a bowling ball in the Jackal product line. Turned with a 3000 Grit Lss Finish, bowlers will see both excellent mid-lane read and unbelievable continuation.

Obviously the Jackal Ghost will be a go-to ball for bowlers that want to see more hook without sacrificing continuation on higher volumes of oil. It will also be ideal for bowlers that have a low rev rate or higher ball speeds.

WHEN TO USE: 

  • Speed Dominant - For a bowler with high ball speed or those with lower rev rates, the Jackal Ghost serves as an outstanding benchmark option due to the cleaner cover and controllable motion down lane.  The versatility of drilling offered by the Predator V2 also makes the Ghost a great benchmark piece for speed dominant bowlers. 
  • Balanced - Players who are balanced in their speed to rev rate ratio find the Ghost to be a must have for fresh oil and longer patterns.  The Jackal Ghost is ideal for balanced bowlers to use in a variety of lower friction environments. 
  • Rev Dominant - Over the past several years AJ Johnson and EJ Tackett have proven that the Jackal Ghost is a must have for the rev dominant player.  Due to the coverstock being moderately clean, a rev dominant player is able to use the Jackal Ghost without worrying about it “burning up” or getting too forward down lane like so many heavy oil asymmetrical balls

    Jackal Ghost

    My first Motiv ball was the Jackal Flash a few years ago. A couple of months after purchase I bowled my highest single, and highest series. The next season my average was slightly higher. After taking a couple years off I decided to bowl as a sub on my wife's league. Deciding to get a new ball, I decided, for several reason, to get the Jackal Ghost. Picked it up on Saturday October 21. Used it on Sunday October 22.
    I decided to write say that I believe the ball is defective. I only bowled 105 PINS OVER AVERAGE!!!?.
    I noticed on the first roll that this ball hit the pins hard and seemed to go through even harder than the initial contact. I throw an average of 17 to 18mph. The other team was happy I got a new ball, but was soon telling me to STOP THAT!!
    after stringing several marks in a row. ?
    The pro shop also explained to me that while many balls get retired after a couple years the Jackal Ghost is still going strong.
    I can definitely see why.
    For context my average before bowling with it was 151. (453 series)
    Using it I bowled
    178
    210
    170
    558 series 105 pins over average.
    Thank you MOTIV for making a great ball.
    Highly recommending to anyone who asks.

    Corner Stone Ball

    The ball is a must have for any serious bowlers arsenal. Tried many balls over the years the Jackal Ghost is the best I have found for oily conditions.

    Strong, Solid, Smooth ball!,

    Got this ball back when it first came out and I loved it. extremely smooth and reliable reaction down lane. I would even start with this ball in leagues sometimes and just ball down once it starts getting too strong. I took a break starting in 2019 and just started back up this year and it's still a great ball even after just sitting in my bag for years. It is so reliable and I see myself getting another when this one just starts to die on me.

    As I look to update my bag more and more, I will only be looking at Motiv!

    Great ball when there is oil

    I've had this ball since its release and it's still the first ball I throw most league nights. On patterns where there is very little oil outside and my breakpoint is around the 5 board, I find the ball tends to run out too early and leaves flat tens every shot. When I move my line in to break in heavier oil on those patterns, the ball carries well. It's not the most versatile ball for dry conditions but it breaks well in the oil, which is why I bought this ball and have been using it almost every night.

    Bottom line: if you tend to roll on drier patterns then this is not the ball for you, but if you have heavier you can play, then this ball lives up to the "heavy oil" designation.
