Motiv Jackal Ghost V2
The MOTIV Jackal Ghost V2 brings one of bowling's most iconic heavy oil balls back to life with the performance today's lane conditions demand. Inspired by the legendary original Jackal Ghost, this updated version is engineered to deliver the same dependable, benchmark motion that bowlers fell in love with in 2017—now optimized for the heavier oil volumes of the modern game.
At its core is the proven Predator V2 asymmetrical core, unchanged because greatness doesn't need reinventing. Featuring a low RG and massive differential, the Predator V2 revs up quickly, creates tremendous track flare, and provides the strong midlane read and continuous backend motion that have made it one of the most successful asymmetrical cores ever produced.
The biggest evolution comes from the coverstock. The new Leverage HFS Reactive cover has been enhanced to generate more traction in today's higher-volume oil patterns while maintaining the smooth, predictable heavy oil motion that made the original Jackal Ghost a favorite among tournament players and league bowlers alike. The result is earlier lane read, increased grip in the midlane, and exceptional continuation through the pins without sacrificing control.
If you need a ball that thrives in heavy oil, creates confidence on challenging patterns, and carries on the legacy of one of MOTIV's most celebrated releases, the Jackal Ghost V2 is ready to become the newest cornerstone of your arsenal.

What do bowlers say about the Motiv Jackal Ghost V2?
The Legend Is Back
Bowlers who loved the original Ghost say this one brings that same shape back for today's oil. It picks up a little sooner in the midlane. It still rolls the way they remember. If you missed that ball, this is the one they're telling you to throw now.
Smooth, Controllable, Predictable
That's how bowlers describe the motion. It's strong, but it doesn't jump. You can see what it's going to do. Speed-dominant players, tweeners, and balanced styles all talk about trusting the line from the first shot.
It Digs Into Heavy Oil
On a wet pair, this ball finds traction. Testers say it was hard to miss the pocket unless the shot was truly bad. You get an earlier, stronger read than the old Ghost without turning it into a sanded monster.
It Doesn't Quit at the Pins
The V2 keeps driving through the deck. Bowlers talk about continuation, not a ball that stands up and dies. That finish is why they call it a weapon on both house shots and sport patterns.
A Ball You Can Play Inside
When the track gets crowded, bowlers use this one to move in and stay in the oil. It's long enough to match a house shot and strong enough to eat volume. Many call it a great first ball out on medium to high oil.
What's the Verdict?
Bowlers like the Jackal Ghost V2 a lot. They call it smooth, strong, and easy to trust. If you need a heavy-oil ball that hooks and still carries, this is the one they keep recommending.

JACKAL GHOST V2
You cant keep a LEGEND down. The OG Ghost had a great run. Introducing the V2. Taking greatness and recreating for todays more difficult lane conditions. The V2 continues with the Predator V2 core with a beefed up LEVERAGE HFS cover seen on the limited EJ Covert. This combo creates a earlier predictable ball motion under todays coditions. For those who loved the OG, this ball will give you the reaction you say back in the day. If you are lucky enough to still have the OG then these two balls can definitely be in the same bag. When the V2 starts seeing the lane a bit early just pull out the OG High speed bowlers, tweeners, balanced will all love this ball. Great choice for medium to high volume lanes.
