The Motiv Alpha Jackal is the latest addition to the Jackal line. It features the Coercion HV3 Solid Reactive cover wrapped around the Predator V2 weight block. The Jackal line has been a big part of my bag when I hit heavier oil conditions. I drilled mine with the same layout as my Jackal Ghost and Golden Jackal (pin above the ring).

I was practicing with my Forge Fire and Tank Blitz on a fresh house shot while the Alpha Jackal was getting drilled. I knew this ball was going to be strong, but I didn’t know it would be THAT strong. I tend to struggle with strong covers because of my slower ball speed, but that was not an issue with the Alpha Jackal. What really impressed me was the continuation through the pins. I have this about 4 boards stronger than my Forge Fire and reads the mids much sooner. I’m also a board or two left off my Jackal Ghost. For me, I see the Alpha Jackal being my ball up from a Forge Fire or Venom Recoil. It reads the mids sooner than anything in my bag and can handle the most amount of oil. If you’re looking for something to play the flood and battle through any over under, this is the ball for you.
