## Description (merchant text, shortened)
The Reborn Heavy-Oil Benchmark Asymmetric

About the Jackal Ghost V2

Some legends are never replaced, they are reborn. The Motiv Jackal Ghost became one of the most trusted heavy oil balls in the sport and the longest running asymmetric in the bowling industry, and after nearly ten years it is getting an upgrade. The Jackal Ghost V2 keeps the untouched, dominant Predator V2 Core and pairs it with a stronger, enhanced Leverage HFS Reactive solid cover built to combat modern oil conditions. Like all of Motiv's high performance equipment, it is made in the U.S.A.

The mission was simple: build a Jackal that rolls in 2026 the way the original rolled in January of 2017. The original Jackal Ghost eventually became too clean for today's heavier oil, so the V2 fixes that with new cover technology while keeping the legendary benchmark heavy oil motion that made the Jackal famous. It reads earlier and stronger than the original, with the same consistent, strong arc down the lane.

Understanding the Motiv Predator V2 Core and Motiv Leverage HFS Reactive

Motiv built the Jackal Ghost V2 for the heaviest oil. Specifically, the asymmetric Predator V2 core has a low RG and a massive differential, so it revs early and flares hard with a continuous, driving motion, while the evolved Leverage HFS Reactive solid cover at a 3000 grit LSS finish grips the front and mid lane for relentless traction. As a result, it controls the volume that overwhelms weaker equipment and keeps driving through the pins. The full per-weight specifications are listed below.

The Untouched, Dominant Asymmetric Engine of the Jackal

At the heart of the Jackal Ghost V2 is the asymmetric Predator V2 Core, carried over untouched from the original Jackal Ghost. When you have one of the most dominant asymmetric cores ever created, proven at the highest level of competition for nearly a decade, you do not mess with it. At 15 lb it measures a low RG of 2.47, a massive .054 differential, and a .015 intermediate differential, numbers that produce heavy flare and a strong, continuous motion. The low RG and loads of differential make it easy to rev and quick to read the mid lane, exactly what a heavy oil asymmetric needs.

That strong, early revving shape is what makes the Jackal Ghost V2 such a force on volume. The asymmetric core drives hard and continuously through the pins rather than rolling out, generating the heavy flare needed to clear the heaviest oil. Because it is asymmetric, the Predator V2 core has a defined preferred spin axis, so layout has a strong influence on the reaction, and your pro shop can tune the pin and intermediate differential to your game.
