Primal Ghost

Two legends combine to create the new Primal Ghost!  This isn’t just a new ball, it’s a monster built for destruction.  Take the legendary Jackal Ghost, the longest-running asymmetrical powerhouse on the market, and its legendary Coercion HFS Solid cover.  Now merge that with the Impulse V2 core, the same core behind killers like the Primal Shock and Primal Rage Evolution.  This fusion of two technologies creates a new beast designed to dominate medium oil conditions.

The Impulse V2 core is back, and it’s still a monster.  This is the same core that dominated in the original Primal Rage, the Primal Shock, and the Primal Rage Evolution.  With a high RG profile and .050 differential, this beast delivetrs insane energy retention and 5”+ of flare potential.  Proven. Explosive.

Coercion HFS has been the benchmark for heavy oil control for over a decade.
It’s strong, predictable, and continuous. And now—it’s paired with a higher RG core, giving you length without sacrificing grip.  You don’t mess with a formula that works, so we didn’t. Same cover, same colors and same formula as the Jackal Ghost, now in a new body built for upgraded versatility.  You’re not choosing between legends anymore, you’re throwing both.

When to Use

Speed Dominant - Many speed dominant bowlers love the Jackal Ghost, so adding a ball to compliment it when the lanes start to get dry makes so much sense.  The Primal Ghost is a simple and easy ball down from the Jackal Ghost.  Additionally, it should be a great benchmark for speed dominant bowlers on moderate to moderate-dry lane conditions. 

Balanced - For people who are balanced in their speed to rev rate ratio, the Primal Ghost will be a great option for the middle of their bag.  With a smooth, moderately strong coverstock and a higher rg core, the Primal Ghost shouldn’t get started too early while providing a smooth down lane motion.  The Primal Ghost is an earlier and smoother motion than that of the Primal Shock. 

Rev Dominant - Those with the most revs and/or lowest speed will benefit greatly from the combination of a high rg core with a smooth coverstock.  For many rev dominant bowlers, the Primal Ghost will work well as a first ball out of the bag on a typical house shot or moderate volume league pattern.

    A change of styles

    I have thrown a 16 pound ball for 30 plus years. I have been away from bowling consistently for quite some years. So, when I went back to throwing my tank of a ball I knew it was time for a change. I have to come down in weight and Motiv Primal Ghost allowed me to do just that. I purchased a 13 pounder with no lost in differential. The hooks are strong and fun to learn to read and the cover and weight make 10 pin pickups routine! Nice job Motiv!!!

    New benchmark!

    I love this ball and I knew I would. Gets through the front easily and stores it's energy for the pins.

    Primal ghost is everything I hoped it would be and more

    I have both the Jackal Ghost and the Primal Rage Evolution and the Primal Ghost is truly a fantastic combo of both. Super smooth motion and my new go to medium oil ball. It filled that gap in my bag and I couldn’t be happier with it.

    Beyond happy and pleased so far!

    I'm beyond pleased with this ball so far. Just the right amount of back end snap on medium lane conditions. Finally came back to Motiv after a long stint using Storm equipment, very very happy to be back in the Motiv camp!
