Motiv Jackal Onyx
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 1500-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 highperformance core. This thing 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.
WHEN TO USE:
SPEED DOMINANT
Speed dominant bowlers are often in a quandary to find balls that will give the necessary traction, but still hook enough down-lane. Duramax enhanced Leverage coverstocks are wildly popular with speed dominant bowlers trying to solve this riddle. The Jackal Onyx provides traction with down lane. The combination is exactly what speed dominant Players are so often seeking for their first ball out of the bag.
BALANCED
For balanced bowlers the Jackal Onyx will be the best option for the highest volumes of friction to break down a pattern, to control wet/dry, and to get a read of a lane. Many are huge fans of the Subzero Forge and have stated that an
asymmetrical ball with the Leverage + Duramax coverstock would be their favorite ball, so this ball seems like an absolute win.
REV DOMINANT
For rev dominant bowlers, the Jackal Onyx will be an outstanding option for maximizing control on long, flat, and heavy oil; especially on lower friction lane surfaces. Some rev dominant bowlers will enjoy the Jackal Onyx with a shinier
finish than 1500 grit LSS out of the box, but no matter what finish a bowler chooses, the Duramax additive will help in keeping that surface consistent longer.
