Our records show that you registered to receive a Limited Edition Jackal through the Ball Exchange Program.  Do not bring your bowling ball to the pro shop at this time. Hold onto your Jackal or Jackal Carnage.  As you know, we are working with the USBC and are hoping to have both balls reinstated.  If they are reinstated, we will not manufacture the Limited Edition Jackal because you would be able to use your Jackal or Jackal Carnage. 

As we have news to report regarding the reinstatement process, we will notify you.  Thank you very much for your patience and support through this process. You are greatly appreciated!

I suspect that people were bringing Jackals to the pro shops and the pro shops don't want/ have room to store the balls.

Don't worry. If as many Jackal and Jackal Carnage balls were illegal as Richgels' (I think) article suggested there's no chance they are reinstated.

Got to get Motiv in the gym !

how illegal was richgels??

I don't remember the exact numbers, but based off some tests he or someone else did they projected like 80%+ or 90%+ of the balls out on the market to be illegal.

I have no idea how accountable that report is, but it didn't sound like a good situation at all for the balls.

richgels is always very honest and no-nonsense....

80-90% is bad. 

that means motiv knew about it...

cuz there has to be QC right?

To the original poster I don't blame you, I'd be mad too. You basically spent $200+  prob on at least one of the jackals and now motiv just wants u to sit on it. I understand u could have got it replaced for a "lesser" hooking ball but its just a no win situation.  Best of luck

BD they can swap with any current ball or wait for the LE…..Motiv says they are still fighting to get the Jackals reinstated and if that happens no LE.  If not reinstated THEN they will do the LE for the remaining bowlers with Jackals not replaced.

No time table on Motivs losing battle with USBC which leaves a lot of customers hanging out to dry. They may hope several jump off and get the Trident and others with other balls and never need to make a LE.  By dragging it out it spreads out the financial hit.

The situation sucks for Motiv, but is self inflicted. Motiv is quickly losing momentum it seems with bowlers on the handling of this situation going forward.
