Inevitable. But $205 for a rebranded Jackal ????
I'm guessing that Motiv did the math and figured many of the faithful will pony up. Milo must be licking his chops given his Jackal stash.

I picked up 4 from my distributor a week ago. They do cost a good bit to get in the door. But all 4 have sold. Different core #'s than original Jackal, so it's not a rebrand. Ball is silly smooth and strong for those that have tried them.

Basically it's a rebrand

Different coverstock too.

Question is, is it better than the trident? Not a motiv guy... so idk
-
$179.95 at BowlerX. Almost in line with other high end balls.
-
So does this mean they're going to release them for normal sale? I would do $179 since everything I've seen so far is awesome. $209 at buddies is kinda pushing it.

From what I've seen of the Trident, it's very core dominant. In Wi's video, the second and third drilling, it appears to me that he's almost spinning it to get it from reading early.

Not really. They were the first to put it up for sale and took a stab in the dark to see what the market would bear. BowlerX saw that price and was willing to take less for a few sales before Buddy would drop theirs. Buddy's will probably drop theirs to the same at $179.95 for the competition. One of the few places where "Demand and Supply" is still valid economic theory.

What's surprising is how much lower Bowlerx is than anyone else. Is it possible they picked up a batch of option limited pins from Motiv for a negotiated lower price?
I've seen these LE's advertised for as much as $225. That's a huge spread.

They have at least a half a dozen sitting on the floor at their brick and mortar store. Specs looked conventional to me. It appears to me that they are simply not trying to gouge customers.

In my opinion it seems to me that they are trying to recoop some of the money lost
