Looks great. Have not had it drilled yet.

Its good.

I really like this ball. I use it for when the lane is newly oiled, for about 1-2 games, at which point I switch to another ball. It's very aggressive, and as a tweener, I had the person drilling the ball make it slightly less aggressive for my style. I also have a Venom and a Sniper. Really liking Motiv balls.

Jackal Onyx Ball Review 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!

This coverstock is super grippy on house pattern. I usually play it safe and roll just right of the middle arrow letting the core do it's work to nudge into the pocket but with the Onyx I feel better doing some far-out hook shots that I've never really done before.

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.

This ball is phenomenal. Just bowled a 210 freshly drilled and out of the box on a league night. Besides getting all my equipment here i have got no complaints whatsoever!!!!!

ive tried many different bowling balls over the last few years and this ball has become my favorite after only 3 games...my average is 210 and the first time using this ball I shot 214, 279, 269 for 762 and would have had 800 if I would have just made a couple of easy spares the first game...the ball action was so nice I can't wait to see what im able to in the coming months

The Jackal Onyx has arrived and is making a statement. Consistent with the Jackal line is the PREDATOR V2 core wrapped in a aggressive LEVERAGE HXC coverstock which provides traction when no other ball can handle the volume. The Onyx sits in between the very early Ambush and the GOAT GHOST. The Onyx provides early traction and smooth continuation down lane. SPEED DOMINANT players looking for core help to see motion down lane will love this ball. For high volume or longer patterns the Onyx will be a staple in everyones bag

Love the ball I’m figuring it out well took my game up a notch for sure

The Jackal Onyx follows in the footsteps of the greatest Asym solid ever made, the Jackal Ghost, by offering a stellar amount of on lane control combined with the torque of an asymmetric ball and the continuation that fans have come to expect from the Jackal line. This is the most overall hook we have seen yet from the Jackal line by giving similar strength in the front of the lane to the Jackal Ambush, but with more downlane shape. Expect this to be the biggest ball in your bag that you can plan on hooking on any lane condition. This is a piece we absolutely needed in the line and I can't wait for more people to experience the raw power of the Jackal Onyx! - Anthony E, MOTIV Staff Member

IL,United States

While I’ve only bowled four games with it this past week, I can tell once I figure out how to throw this ball, it is a special one. Ball doesn’t soak up oil so you can get consistent throws and more dependable scores. Ball hooks a lot so be advised. If you are on the fence, get one.

FL,united states

Drilled it neutral and throwing right handed 25 to the 10/12 board, locked in! Ball rolls throw with emphasis!
