- Jackal Carnage

First Impressions
The Motiv Jackal Carnage turns a lot of heads with its aggressive red and black solid design. At its center sits the massive asymmetric Predator V2 core, featuring a 2.470 RG, a hefty 0.054 differential and a 0.015 intermediate differential. This core is wrapped in the extremely tacky Coercion XFS Solid Reactive coverstock, finished with a dull 3000 grit LSS surface. The very low RG lets the core rev up brutally fast, which in combination with the rough shell should make the ball grab immediately and produce a huge, heavily rolling motion.
Comparison
Compared directly with the original Motiv Jackal, the Carnage shows a drastically earlier and even rounder, more dominant reaction. Compared with the Storm Alpha Crux, the Carnage behaves very similarly, but generates incredible midlane control through the Coercion cover. Once the transition sets in during the block and friction increases on the outside boards, the Carnage's extremely strong solid surface immediately loses usable energy for the backend. It absolutely requires a massive oil base in the heads.
On the Lanes
The Motiv Jackal Carnage was developed exclusively for use on heavy oil lane conditions. It allows you to generate the hook needed to cross the boards effectively even on the deepest fresh oil. The heavily rolling asymmetric core should optimize carry through a steady, heavy and consistent entry angle into the pocket. On dry or dried-up conditions this ball is completely unplayable; it burns up its energy immediately and misses the pins.
