Radical Technologies Creates A Value Line

Radical Technologies introduces their new “Value” line – Rack Attack. 
The Rack Attack will be available in two color options and will offer two distinct ball motions.  The Rack Attack Grape Solid features a dull finish and will provide strong mid lane hook motion on medium to heavy oil. 
The Rack Attack Cherry Pearl will provide more length with backend flip making it ideal for medium to light oil.

Radical’s Phil Cardinale shared “The Value line will offer impressive performance at a low cost, and these balls should easily exceed expectations for this price point.  Our goals with this new series are to increase the range of ball motion in the Radical product line and offer excellent performance at a value price.  The new series should also expand our reach to entry level bowlers looking for their first performance ball.”

Brunswick Soul™ Mate - The Soul Mate Orange Fire Pearl features the CPTv2 – Flip reactive coverstock describes the updated version 2 of our low friction coverstock. The Chemical Projection Technology Flip formulation allows for a lower friction reactive coverstock that easily projects down the lane and provides a more controllable hook motion on medium oil lane conditions.

New Balls Disclosed From Storm

When you get a whiff of Paradise Punch, look for the new Storm Ride, which arrives in the Hots line April 21st. The new Storm Ride is designed for drier lanes, and Storm incorporates both new and proven technology in this gem.

For the cover, Storm chose the smooth and highly polished Hybrid Reactor™ material which refuses to acknowledge friction in the heads (the first 15 feet of the lane). And the new Cruiser™ core produces a modest amount of flare potential to help control your ball path as well. The Ride is consistent, reliable, and predictable, just what you need when you want a powerful hitting ball but one that doesn’t ‘bounce off the dry!’

 
The new Storm Tropical Breeze mimics previous entrees in this series. Look for the Camber core wrapped in Carbon/Chrome colored Reactor coverstock with a standard 1500 grit polished finish, with a Cinnamon fragrance, to arrive April 21st.

The new Storm Mix series adds Purple/Yellow, Pink/White and Black/White color options. The Mix series is pearl U1S urethane, 3500-grit Abralon polished, three piece balls available June 9th.

Two New Performance Balls Introduced by 900Global


Along with news that Chris and Linda Barnes will be representing 900 Global comes news of two new balls from the San Antonio, Texas company. The Blue /Silver /Steel Respect Coverstock, 79 Alert™ Hybrid, is finished to 1500 Grit, then Polished. Powering the Respect is the Tetra™ Symmetric Core, like the Prime product line Moxie, which is also a hybrid.

900 Global’s first manufactured ball, the Break™,
really put them on the map. Global’s new Break Down features a Bright Blue S70™ Solid coverstock which has an impressive history (and even a USBC Open Championship All Events Record), and with the modified Break™ Asymmetric core, you’ll finally be able to use it later in tournament blocks. A significantly raised RG and lower differential is designed to provide more length and less flare, all the while keeping the fabled S70™ on hand to provide that perfect friction-to-backend ratio everyone loves. The new Break Down is finished to 4000 grit with the “T” Neat pad.

DV8 Unwraps The Thug Unruly and Diva Divine

DV8 Thug Unruly will be knocking on the door, maybe trying to bust it down, on January 28, 2015.  The new DV8 solid reactive ball has the Thug Low RG Core wrapped in Class 13G Reactive Solid Coverstock. Finishing Steps include 500; 2,000 Siaair Micro Pad. The updated cover and slightly smoother cover prep to the Rukus Feud

Ignore the pink, like the Diva before it this ball should be divine. DV8’s new Diva Divine contains the Diva Core with Class 7G Reactive Hybrid Coverstock where the Diva used 6G Reactive solid, highly polish, the Divine adds the (hybrid) middle ground to the Diva line. Finishing Steps 500; 4,000 Siaair Micro Pad.

Ebonite's New High Performance Ball for 2015

Ebonite’s newest HP introduction, the Code of Honor, is a Black/Orange /Blue RCS 5.0 solid reactive coverstock finished 500/3000 Abralon. Wrapping a CB-2 Asymmetric core like Pivot, Pivot Point and Honor balls, the Code of Honor adds a solid cover to the high performance line. Core numbers (15#- 2.48 RG, .049 RG Differential) should provide a strong change of direction downlane and pin punishing continuation.
