Motiv Primal Ghost Bowling Ball

The Motiv Primal Ghost Bowling Ball is where legends unite. This isn’t just another release—it’s a fusion of dominance that brings together two of Motiv’s most iconic technologies. By combining the legendary Jackal Ghost’s Coercion HFS Solid coverstock with the proven Impulse V2 core, Motiv has created a true monster designed to crush medium oil conditions with explosive energy and precision.

At the heart of this beast is the Impulse V2 core, the same powerhouse that fueled favorites like the Primal Shock and Primal Rage Evolution. With its high RG profile and .050 differential, it delivers insane energy retention and more than 5 inches of flare potential. Expect nothing less than relentless power and smooth, controlled motion that carries through the pins with devastating impact.

The Coercion HFS coverstock has been a benchmark for heavy oil performance for years. Strong, predictable, and continuous, it now pairs perfectly with the higher RG design to give you added length without losing traction. The Primal Ghost keeps the same proven formula as the Jackal Ghost—same cover, same colors, same raw power—but with upgraded versatility. Instead of choosing between legends, now you can throw both.

Whether you’re speed dominant, balanced, or rev dominant, the Primal Ghost adapts to your game. Speed players will find it the perfect ball down from the Jackal Ghost. Balanced bowlers will rely on its smooth mid-lane read and strong continuation. Rev-dominant players will discover a first ball option that’s ideal for house shots and moderate volume patterns. With the Motiv Primal Ghost, you get unmatched performance, confidence, and striking power every time you step on the lanes.

When to Use

Speed Dominant - Many speed dominant bowlers love the Jackal Ghost, so adding a ball to compliment it when the lanes start to get dry makes so much sense.  The Primal Ghost is a simple and easy ball down from the Jackal Ghost.  Additionally, it should be a great benchmark for speed dominant bowlers on moderate to moderate-dry lane conditions. 

Balanced - For people who are balanced in their speed to rev rate ratio, the Primal Ghost will be a great option for the middle of their bag.  With a smooth, moderately strong coverstock and a higher rg core, the Primal Ghost shouldn’t get started too early while providing a smooth down lane motion.  The Primal Ghost is an earlier and smoother motion than that of the Primal Shock. 

Rev Dominant - Those with the most revs and/or lowest speed will benefit greatly from the combination of a high rg core with a smooth coverstock.  For many rev dominant bowlers, the Primal Ghost will work well as a first ball out of the bag on a typical house shot or moderate volume league pattern.
