The claws are out with the new Motiv Jackal Onyx. This beast isn't just another ball in the Jackal line—it's a whole new level. We’ve taken everything that makes the Jackal line unstoppable and cranked it up. With cutting-edge coverstock tech building upon the Subzero Forge, the massive Predator V2 core, and Duramax Technology; the Jackal Onyx is here to devour the competition.  This monster is built for maximum hook and relentless power.

This isn’t just another solid cover—this is a statement. With Duramax tech, the Jackal Onyx holds its surface better, meaning it performs the same in game three as it does on your first throw. No performance drop-off—just consistent, predictable results. And Duramax isn’t just about endurance; it’s about traction. This cover has massive teeth. The Leverage HXC solid coverstock is an evolved version of the Subzero Forge's Leverage MXC, but with even more grip and hook potential, giving you next-level traction without sacrificing backend power. With a 1000-grit LSS finish, the Jackal Onyx is dialed in to rip through heavy oil.

The Predator V2 is a proven winner—MOTIV’s most dominant high-performance core. This core revs up fast and delivers insane flare, giving you the kind of hook that turns heads and breaks records. It’s asymmetric, it’s powerful, and it’s everything you need to crush even the heaviest oil patterns. It’s designed to give you the strongest motion of any ball in your bag.  Get your hands on the Jackal Onyx and unleash the claws.

    Best Jackal since the Ghost?

    Maximum traction? Maximum power? Maximum hook potential? Yeah. This one has got it all.
    Duramax was destined for the Predator V2 core, and the results are even better than imagined.

    Previous solid Jackals were always very early, and quick to roll out for me, trapping them on heavy and long oil patterns. The Onyx is the first I see that still retains a lot of energy and has plenty of downlane continuation through the pins. Paired with the Duramax's ability to really amplify surface changes. This just might be the most versatile Jackal since the Ghost.
    Also, probably the biggest hook potential in a bowling ball on the market right now.

    Jackal Onyx gave new life!

    After averaging 160 halfway through the current season, thinking my best days had gone by (185 to 200 averages in past) I was pleasantly surprised with my Onyx. Three practice balls then a 203 first game with a 553 series. The ball reaction is going to take some more experience but I couldn't be happier.

    One of the best out of box

    Just received the Onyx before Wisconsin state bowling and have to save the maneuverability this ball allows is absolutely insane. From straight up 10 to hooking the lane soft or hard one of the best and smoothest. Great job Motiv

    Jackal Onyx

    The Jackal Onyx is the newest ball added to the fan favorite Jackal line. It has the Leverage HXC Solid Reactive cover that gives you strength and stability with a strong smooth motion. It’s designed for heavy oil patterns and made for when the lanes are fresh with a ton of volume. The Jackal Onyx has the Predator V2 core. The Jackal Onyx creates a very strong round motion and is great for the crest heavy oil patterns especially when the pattern calls for a strong round piece ball. This ball should fit the top spot of the bag when the cleaner balls aren’t giving enough traction in the oil. Designed for heavy oil conditions, the Jackal Onyx is going to be a piece to add for anyone looking for something when the nothing else is enough and really needs that big ball to do all the work. This ball has all the hype and I believe it’s going to live up to it!
