Rise to success with the strong Motiv Jackal Rising! This ball was designed to be stronger than it's predecessor and is ideal for bowlers who throw the ball fast but still want big hook on heavy oil. This bowling ball also offers a smooth motion which is good for bowlers who need to blend over/under situations. This powerful bowling ball introduces a new coverstock, the Coercion HV2 (High Volume 2nd Edition). This cover offers more friction when rolling down the lane. The Jackal Rising is finished with a 2000 Grit LSS pad which helps to maximize the ball's hook potential. This cover and finish combo develop traction when facing oil yet still finishes with awesome power. This ball has more differential with an asymmetric core that will assist bowlers in getting their ball across more boards even on heavy oil conditions.

Review:

I drilled this ball to fit in between my pin up and pin down ghosts. It fits in perfectly in the progression. When my pin down ghost begins to lose energy at the pins as my angles in the front need to open up a bit, the pin up ghost usually reads the friction a little too soon. This Rising fills that gap in perfectly with the stable drilling I used on it.

The Jackal Rising is much more overall hook and more versatile for me than the ghosts. The Rising begins to read the lane at least 2 or 3 feet earlier than the ghosts. It is a little bit smoother than the ghosts downlane at the breakpoint though. What it results in is more overall hook because the Rising is more for an arc in shape as opposed to the slightly angular motion I get from my ghosts.
