Overview
RADICAL pairs a low friction reactive cover with its strong asymmetrical Torpedo core in this ball. The polished surface lets it glide straighter, while the core still rolls early and flares for pin action.
Control for players who over hook is the case for it: high rev and slow speed bowlers can play a more direct line. Bowlers who need more hook will find the low friction cover works against them.
Who it's for
Bowlers whose current ball hooks too much, either from lots of revs or slow ball speed, get a way to tame it. Players who already struggle to get the ball to turn should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Low friction cover reduces over hooking
- Asymmetrical core still flares
- Polished surface for length
- Two year limited warranty
- Too weak for low rev players
- Oil condition not listed
Performance notes
A low friction cover skids through oil and resists turning sharply, which helps bowlers who generate too much hook. The low RG core starts the roll early, and the high differential produces flare. Revs and ball speed decide how much of that motion shows.
