Jackal compared to Lock
« on: December 25, 2015, 06:29:26 PM »
Received some bowling ball money for Christmas and was looking at these to round out my bag. I've been devoted to Motiv exclusively over the last year or two. Currently carrying a Tag, Venom Shock, and Primal Rage which has around 400 games on it. Also have an Octane and Ascent Apex in reserve, so I think I've got the light to medium conditions covered. I know I could get another Rage, but was looking at something a bit stronger. I haven't seen many Jackal's or Lock's in my leagues, so looking for input on these two pieces. Thanks in advance for any insight provided.

I have thrown both and I prefer the Jackal by a little over the Lock, but thats me. Jackal carried better for me. However, I am more intrigued by the Jackal Carnage that will be out in 4 weeks. If you are looking for a super duty heavy oil ball, you may want to wait for the Jackal Carnage.

Well of the 2 lefties in that major, the young gun with the jackal carnage beat the veteran with the level lock..8)

I think that's my plan with holding off until the Carnage comes out.  In my case, it's a tossup with the Dream Big and the Carnage.

I still have my original Critical Theory and still use it.  That was the best ball for me from the Theory line.
