What y'all think a new ball or is it the jackal sapphire. I never seen the jackal sapphire up close but this ball looks like my primal remix but the remix is black n green.

If I remember correctly, it is a new Ascent line ball and will perhaps replace the Ascent/Ascent Apex.  Downside is I think it may be stronger overall.  If so it might leave a gap on the low end between the Tank and the new ball.

It's called the motiv freestyle. Light oil ball that replaced the ascent. From what I've seen it is better than the ascents.

This is a summarized quote from someone else:

It allows you to deeper angles without worrying about it not turning and for me if they did, they always left weird pins. Also it can be used on fresh

dang already a big gap between my tank and ascent I was hoping for something to be as weak as the slingshot or tropical breeze.

I wish they would have a solid version.  But we won't really know the strength till some get it in their hands.

Yes, the blue Freestyle :P

BUT they've finally removed the 2 Jackal balls from their current ball line-up page on the site, which probably means they'll be adding new balls on the heavy oil line soon.
Most used:
Motiv Venom Shock (14)
DV8 Grudge Hybrid (14)
Hammer Scandal (14)
DV8 Freakshow (14)

Sometimes.
C300 Swerve (14)
Motiv Jackal LE (14)

Retired:
Roto Grip Sinister (13)
Motiv Jackal (14)

Given to a no-thumber in the club:
Brunswick T-zone (13)

Might stick with Motiv from now on.
