- Jackal Chase

First Impressions
The Motiv Jackal Chase was released in March 2018 as an exclusive model within the Jackal series and marks an important milestone in the development of the Coercion cover technology. Visually, the ball comes in a powerful, dark color scheme that underlines its purpose on heavy oil. The technical powerhouse is the Predator V3 asymmetric core, which in the 15-pound version shows a low RG of 2.47, a high differential of 0.055 and an intermediate differential of 0.019. This core geometry produces extremely early rotation and a massive flare potential of over seven inches. The core is wrapped in the Coercion HVH (High Volume Hybrid) Reactive coverstock, a hybrid blend developed specifically to combine maximum traction on high oil volumes with a still powerful backend continuation. The factory finish is dulled with a 2000 grit LSS (Laser Scan Sanded) process, giving the ball a rough surface that actively breaks through the film of oil.
Comparison Compared to the Motiv Jackal Ghost, the Jackal Chase offers a slightly cleaner skid phase through the heads thanks to the hybrid cover, but responds at the breakpoint with a noticeably steeper entry angle. While the Ghost, as a pure solid ball, is known for its unstoppable, continuous arc shape, the Chase stores a bit more energy for the back third of the lane because of the hybrid content. Compared with the Motiv Jackal Rising, the Chase is somewhat more versatile, since the Rising, as an extreme "oil monster," often loses energy too early when the volume isn't absolutely massive. In a cross-brand comparison with the Storm Sure Lock S, the Jackal Chase shows a more stable midlane presence, as the Coercion technology is designed to read the pattern more evenly than Storm's often more angular RAD cores. Against the Motiv Alpha Jackal, the Chase slots in as the slightly tamer but more precise option, since the Alpha with the HV3 cover digs into the midlane even more aggressively.
On the Lanes The ideal application for the Motiv Jackal Chase is on heavy oil patterns and long sport patterns where both traction in the middle and movement at the end are required. Thanks to the HVH hybrid cover, the ball is an excellent choice for the start of a tournament block, since it has enough "teeth" to grab through the fresh film of oil while at the same time preserving the energy needed to deliver convincing carry even from deeper angles. If you throw the ball fast, you'll appreciate the reliability of the Predator V3 core, which gets the ball into the roll phase early even on slick surfaces. For rev-dominant players, the Chase is a valuable tool for not losing control of the breakpoint on high-volume patterns. On typical house shots, though, the ball is better used in the first games; once the transition sets in and the heads dry up
