I bought a Virtual Gravity Nano years ago when it first came out and I had a very similar reaction with it. Could not for the life of me push it out , would hug the inside of the lanes and cross over most the time. When I finally did force it out to the 2 or 3 board it would burn up so much energy in the front end that it would flatten out and not even get back to the pocket or it would come in super flat. I tried messing with the cover stock, even had it redrilled to go longer, and I just couldn't get a good look out of it, and yes I was using it on a longer oil pattern. Most everyone loved that ball, personally I hated it. Traded it for a Victory Road and was the best trade I ever made.

Per Motivs website... Rev Dominant Bowlers - For rev dominant bowlers, the Jackal Ambush is a control ball for the absolute lowest friction environments. For these bowlers needing control, a shinier finish may be necessary, but the control offered by the Leverage Solid Reactive coverstock paired with the Predator V2 could be advantageous if angular pieces feel like they go everywhere on fresh oil.

I'm 4 3/8 by 7/8 up, 17.5mph (machine) and about 20 out of my hand 450rpm.Ball is 60x5.5x35. I tried to throw mine at OOB 1000. I'm in MN and there is NOT enough oil unless someone dropped the bucket on the lane. It hooked in my backswing. So I went 2000, 3000, 4000. Now it is still early, but not nearly as bad. It's not a house shot ball for the most part, at least for me, but for heavy oil tourneys, it's been solid. I've gone way inside with it for practice and it does work for me in there, but I can get it to burn up. I think when I come across some of the Long patterns or some of the heavier sport shots it will be money. Right now it took the Legacy out of my bag, and that ball has gotten me multiple 700s and an 813 this year. SO... it's gonna be a car ball on tourney days. When I walk in and if the legacy just doesn't have it, guess what does. I'll head to the car and pull out the Ambush. In the end, I don't think it's a bad ball. I don't think it's a ball for a high rev guy on a house shot. I think Motiv hit exactly where they put it on the ball chart. It is the biggest nastiest heaviest oil ball they have made. And if you throw it in that type of a condition, it's going to be solid. Throw mud tires on an Indy car and yes it's going to suck on a track. Put Slicks on Bigfoot and it's going to suck crushing cars. But yes... on a house shot, it does suck horribly.

I'm speed dominant. Low revs. My Pro told me about this ball. I come up the back and usually play between 8-12 boards. It works for me. But I need some grab to hook all my balls. I bowled a tourney today where the lane guy had Double oiled the lanes FROM SIDE TO SIDE. cuz he was pizzed by all the complainers of the tourney from yesterday. Our tourney paid for those dudes yesterday. Pizzed is mild way of putting how everyone felt. Well, this ball basically slid straight. I normally roll about 17 mph, but I had to go down to about 12mph just to produce a hook. I went to the Ghost, and finally was able to produce some hook. And finally went to the Radioactive Vibe and was able to move up to about 14 mph. Anyways, I digress, I think this ball is built for speed dominant players, more than high revers like you. I watch a few lanes down at some guy rolling the Ambush, Hi rever,, and he guttered three times. that's how bad the lanes were. So maybe there is something to the ol' " a ball for everyone" scenario. Anyways, love you vids. subbed and liked. Oh and I am going to use some of your training vids to learn how to increase my revs. Good stuff.

I don't have the Ambush but I do have the Ghost, Legacy, Flash and Mythic. When you bowl in the desert what do you expect? I have balls designed for medium oil that I can't throw in most houses out West without standing as deep as possible. As stated some MD houses have more oil and thus balls of this calibur perform well. On the other hand I agree that this ball wasn't pushed by Motiv like others. In my opinion I think this ball is for sport shots. Thanks for the review.

Anything under 2k surface is a problem for me. Even 2k is a problem. Usually have one ball under 3k and everything else above that. Have a urethane at 2k and it's great. Idk why people need to kill a ball by sanding it down soo much. I've also kinda stopped polishing by equipment. Like I'll do all the steps up to 5000 then hit the ball lightly with a 3k pad. It gets alot of slide like polish but has alot more drive

You'd be amazed how well a ball will roll when you let it roll off your fingers vs hitting hard at the bottom of a 14ft back swing. You might see the ball walk right into the pocket at 22 mph. I have a new pink widow that won't go over 13 mph and miss the head pin and sometimes the 7 as well, with me running to the line and putting all my hand into it, but if I tiptoe to the line and let it float off my hand, it will roll 18 mph hooking the whole lane and hammer the pocket. Or i can plumb it up 12, or 10, or put any angle on it necessary for the pattern and hit the pocket without overreacting. Still love watching every video I can!!!

Balls shouldn't have disclaimers. This channel was for high rev players because there wasn't any other references out there when I started. If a $80 ball can handle it so should a $220 ball.

@travishanson166 Жыл бұрын

@@hihbowling my point is hitting up on the ball isn't adding to the revs, but taking from the speed. You can let the ball float off your fingers and still hit 600+ revs and you don't have to loft half the lane or the gutter to get it to the pocket and you shouldn't have to polish the ball unless you are bowling on less than 22 mils. But even then, this ball isn't meant for that condition anyway. Cores do funny things when they get revved beyond their drilling limits. I have watched other high Rev reviews, and they were able to plumb it up between 3rd and 4th arrows just fine, 475 to 550 revs. You probably have 700+ off your hand and when it hits the oil the ball tears through the oil, slowing the ball to 500 and turning the core prematurely and hitting the pins below 400. If you rolled it off your fingers gently, you would probably average 600 the entire length of lane, from off your hand to the break point, thru core migration and through the pins. I love watching you bowl, don't get me wrong. I think you should be bowling with the pros on TV, but to make sanded solid asyms roll right, you have to have a gentle hand and steady feet. They will rev fast and roll hard, putting all the energy into the pins and not the lane.

I have been watching a lot of ball reviews, call me Old School, but why do all of these guys, want equipment where you stand Left, and throw the ball right? Why don't these guys, want equipment that covers All Types of Lane conditions? Am I missing something here? My Best Ball, I ever owned, was a Tropical Storm, with the Pin 6 inches out, I had it drilled Tame, over the label, where it only moved 4 boards left on synthetic lanes. It was my Dry Condition ball. I shot so many 700 Series, 279's, 288's no one talks about this anymore
