The Apex Jackal isn’t just an upgrade, it’s an entirely new predator. And when a predator evolves, everything else becomes prey. This beast stands alone from the pack based on what’s on the inside; the brand-new Apex Predator core. We don’t roll out new tech just to say we did. We do it because it creates an advantage bowlers can witness.

Steve Wilbur from the Motiv R & D team said, “we’ve discussed adding a dual-density asymmetrical core to the line for years, but anytime we introduce new technology we want it to fit in the product line and offer something that wasn’t already available. This core is nothing like what we had before; it’s dynamic, it’s unique, and powerful enough to carry the Jackal name.”

Featuring patent-pending POWER BAND™ Core Technology, the dual-density Apex Predator™ core is built for maximum angle and maximum dominance. POWER BAND Core Technology introduces a new outer band wrapped around proven core designs. That single change shifts everything. Density placement controls energy transfer. By strategically reinforcing the core with this high-impact density band, we’re able to boost torque, increase stored energy, and unleash a more violent, explosive motion down-lane. The result is unmistakable.

With an RG of 2.52 — the highest of any Predator core to date — you get easier length through the front of the lane. And that means more stored energy for when it matters: down-lane. A higher intermediate differential creates a sharper, more explosive skid-to-hook transition. Add the Predator core’s signature high differential flare, and you have a core engineered to create serious angle, even in heavier oil volumes. This isn’t variation, this is an expansion of the performance ceiling.

Following the success of the Evoke Hysteria in 2025, the Propulsion MXV Pearl being added to the Jackal line was an inevitability. This cover offers angularity, can deal with high concentrations of oil, and is the most versatile pearl on the market. Add a color formulation that was tuned specifically to amplify backend reaction, and the result is the most angular Jackal ever produced. Period. This is what happens when precision engineering meets performance obsession.

When to Use

Speed Dominant - For speed dominant bowlers it is sometimes difficult to find a pearl that is reliable and strong enough to always catch down lane and provide the necessary angle. The Apex Jackal will be an outstanding first pearl out of the bag for speed dominant bowlers.

Balanced - For balanced bowlers, the Apex Jackal will be a staple as a dynamic and angular asymmetrical ball that doesn’t need as much friction as other pearls in the line like the Nebula or even the Steel Forge. The Apex Jackal will be the pearl that sees the lane before the very cleanest pearls are in play.

Rev Dominant - Some rev dominant players will want to use the Apex Jackal early and on fresher patterns where an angular ball is still an option. Some rev dominant players may be able to even use some surface on an Apex Jackal to have a more controlled look from the Propulsion MXV coverstock rather than risking using earlier rolling and smoother covers that might not carry the corners as well.
