Motiv Apex Jackal Bowling Ball

POWER BAND Asymmetric Power in a Pearl

About the Apex Jackal

The Motiv Apex Jackal is the premium flagship of the Jackal line, the first ball to feature Motiv’s patent-pending POWER BAND Core Technology. It pairs the dual-density asymmetric Apex Predator Core with a clean pearl cover, delivering heavy-oil asymmetric power with more length and a bigger, more angular backend than the solid Jackals. Like all of Motiv’s high-performance equipment, it is made in the U.S.A.

The Apex Jackal pairs that Apex Predator Core with Motiv’s Propulsion MXV Pearl Reactive coverstock at a 5000-grit LSS finish. The dual-density asymmetric block stores enormous energy and the pearl cover conserves it through the fronts, so the Apex Jackal clears the heads cleaner than the solid Jackals, then unleashes a strong, angular move on heavy oil.

Understanding the Motiv Apex Predator Core and Motiv Propulsion MXV Pearl Reactive

Motiv built the Apex Jackal for heavy-oil power with length and angle. Specifically, the dual-density asymmetric Apex Predator Core, built on POWER BAND Core Technology, has a strong differential and a high intermediate differential for enormous flare and a defined breakpoint, while the Propulsion MXV pearl cover at a 5000-grit finish conserves energy through the fronts. As a result, it gets down the lane cleaner than a solid Jackal, then makes a strong, angular move on volume. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.

A Dual-Density Asymmetric Core With POWER BAND Technology

At the heart of the Apex Jackal is the dual-density asymmetric Apex Predator Core, the debut of Motiv’s patent-pending POWER BAND Core Technology. At 15 lb it measures RG 2.52, a strong .055 differential, and a high .020 intermediate differential, numbers that produce enormous flare and a strong, defined asymmetric motion. The dual-density design and higher RG give it more length and a bigger flip than the lower-RG Predator V2 solids.

That combination of power and angle is what makes the Apex Jackal the premium piece in the line. The high intermediate differential creates a pronounced, defined breakpoint, while the strong primary differential supplies the flare to clear heavy oil. Because it is asymmetric, layout has a strong influence on the reaction, so your pro shop can tune the pin and intermediate differential to your game.

A Versatile Pearl for Length and a Strong, Angular Backend

The Apex Jackal wraps that core in Motiv’s Propulsion MXV Pearl Reactive coverstock at a 5000-grit LSS finish. The pearl additive conserves energy through the front of the lane, so the ball clears the heads cleaner than the solid Jackals, then makes a strong, angular move when it reaches the friction, heavy-oil power with the length only a pearl provides.

That clean-then-strong shape is what separates the Apex Jackal from the early-reading solid Jackals. It gets the ball down the lane on heavy oil, then the dual-density Apex Predator core drives hard off the spot. Leave it at the 5000-grit box finish for the most length and angle, or take the surface down at your pro shop for an earlier, stronger read on the heaviest volume.
