Product Description
The Motiv Jackal Blue/Copper Spare Bowling Ball is engineered to go exactly where you aim when you’re staring down key spares. Its polyester shell and polished factory finish keep hook potential very low, helping the ball travel long and straight so lane friction doesn’t pull you off target on 10‑pins, 7‑pins, and other corner spares.
Finished with a rubbing and finishing compound single buff, the Jackal Blue/Copper Spare delivers a true straight reaction with low hook potential and long length, and it is USBC approved for all certified league and tournament play. Available in 8–16 lb weights and often made to order through OnTheBall’s licensed MOTIV designs, this spare ball doubles as a striking blue/copper display piece while remaining a dependable tool in your bag.
