Bowling balls

The newest predator in the vicious Jackal line, the Jackal Ambush will catch opponents off guard with its strength and control of its environment. This ultra-strong beast pushes the boundaries of ball motion and hook in oil, providing a smooth and controlled ball motion, even in the heaviest concentrations. The Jackal Ambush allows you to go on the hunt, knowing that you have the strength behind you to dominate.

The Jackal Ambush introduces the release of a brand new cover stock system; Leverage Solid Reactive. Leverage is formulated to be smoother down lane and stronger in the oil than the Coercion cover stock systems previously used for this ball motion. This is the most aggressive cover stock system ever developed in the MOTIV ball line.

Paired with this new system is the proven Predator V2 core. Used in the legendary Jackal Ghost and the Alpha Jackal used by Wesley Low to shoot 900, the Predator V2 is ideal in heavy oil conditions when a high performance, asymmetrical core is necessary. The low RG and high differential give a fast spinning and dynamic core design, capable of huge amounts flare.

The traditional solid bowling ball is no longer good enough.  Enter the new EVOKE MAYHEM.  After the absolute domination of the Evoke Hysteria, the challenge was to build another Evoke as versatile and successful.  That meant breaking the normal rules.  Instead of starting with a solid coverstock and tweaking it, MOTIV worked backwards from the Propulsion MXV Pearl coverstock—the cover that made the Hysteria special—and asked a different question: How do we formulate this to make it hit harder, read earlier, and still keep the down-lane shape people loved? 

“We spent a long time testing this one,” said Brett Spangler, MOTIV’s PBA Tour Rep. “There was a lot of pressure after the Hysteria won everything last year. The solution was working backwards from the pearl Hysteria cover, which isn’t how we usually test for solids.”  Then we added Duramax additive technology, allowing the Evoke Mayhem to stay dull longer and maintain performance over longer periods.  The result is a different type of solid coverstock for Motiv; a shell that provides more length and down lane motion than the Leverage™ family of covers, but substantially more traction than Propulsion pearls.

The insanely tunable Overload™ asymmetrical core is the most versatile core in the MOTIV line.  It delivers a combination of a low RG, moderate differential, and strong intermediate differential, slotting perfectly below the Predator™ V2 and Apex Predator™ cores featured in the Jackal® series.  The Overload core lets the ball driller dramatically raise or lower the primary differential depending on layout.  That means you can control total flare in a meaningful way.

More flare when you need strength.  Less flare when you need control. That level of adjustability means more bowlers can match up with the Evoke Mayhem in even more environments!

In short, the Evoke Mayhem fills the gap that didn’t exist before, allowing you to embrace the chaos!
