Jackal and Carnage removed from USBC approved list
« on: March 15, 2016, 02:20:42 PM »
USBC's FB page is reporting the Jackal and Carnage have been removed from the approved equipment list. I've been trying to get onto Bowl.com to read the article, but their site is down.

Anyone know why?

I'm hearing the balls will be switched with a ball of choice. The serial  number will be sent in and you will receive a replacement. But it does leave Motiv without an Asymmetrical ball in their entire lineup.

I don't know if this is legit or not, but that seems to be the case:

I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not. My Jackal Carnage was just drilled up Friday but didn't get a chance to use it yet. I guess I'll never know what I'm missing.  ;D

Figuring out what to replace it with is another matter. I'm not sure if there's anything else in the Motiv lineup that fits my bag cleanly.

Sucks for people in Reno now as someone else stated. Wonder if the Motiv Booth, if they have one, will replace them there for the bowlers showing up with the Jackal's

New Jackal coming in about 75 days. All current Jackal owners will receive the new one for free.

This sounds like a payoff from a competitor...the day before Reno and this comes out? All the people there with jackals have to go to another heavy oil ball...I bet the Storm booth is right next to Motiv's.

If true, the Boy (my son) will happily wait. In the mean time he can use his Havoc. Perfect? No. Adequate for the time being? You betcha.

I'm awaiting confirmation. First I was told ball of choice, then beans were spilled about a new Jackal. So I'm not 100% at the moment. But either way, Motiv is replacing them.

I'm hearing Brunswick and Storm voiced concerns over the ball forcing USBC to sample the cores.

It sucks, I love my Jackal.
But if I can get a new one from Motiv, it's alright. Because my ball just got some burn marks on it after tonight's bowling.
Damn ball elevator didn't work properly, so both my Scandal and Jackal got stuck, the wheels stopped moving, but not soon enough on the first time it happened.
