I bowl maybe 5 tournaments a year but bowl quite a bit on a THS. Right know my Dream On just isn't cutting it on heavy oil. I have it down to 1000 abralon and it just doesn't handle heavy oil like I thought it would. Considering the Jackal for heavy oil. Since I do not bowl that many tournaments I would like to know if anybody can use this ball on a THS. I hate buying a ball and just having it sit in my bag except for sport/tournaments shots. I thought about moving the pin down on my Dream On to see if that helps but this Jackal has peaked my interest. A pearl ball that is dull and hooks like like a great idea to me. Motiv looks like it is coming out with some great new stuff.

The Jackal with some surface 1000/2000 handles heavy oil very well. The Jackal at 4000 handles a heavier THS just fine.....
What would moving the pin down on your Dream On do? Do you have a weight hole in it currently?
-
Since the Dream On is a hybrid sometimes it skids just a bit too far on heavy oil. Pin down would get it to hook just a little bit earlier. No weight hole currently in ball.My IQ Tour will hook earlier then my Dream On due to it being a solid cover. I love my IQ Tour on Med. but it doesn't quite have the pop I need on the heavy stuff. Also looking at the Tour Nano as well but the reviews on the Jackal are amazing.

Pin down does not make it read earlier, it creates a slower transition and will smooth it out. I'd see if you can add a low hole to the dream on. That will increase its flare potential. How do you have dream on drilled? Angles? Pin to pap?

I have it drilled 4x4x2 with no balance hole. You have me thinking about adding one now to get more flare from ball. I would like to go from most hook to least in this order: Dream On 1000 grit Respect 1500 polish IQ Tour 4000 grit IQ Fusion 1500 polish and Super Natural Thanks for the help.
