Radical Bowling Presents Three New Balls

Guru™ Pearl Limited 
 

The Guru Pearl Limited is a pearl version of the number one selling original black Radical Guru. The Limited provides added length while maintaining the same strong hook motion, backend recovery, and incredible hitting power as the original.

Ridiculous™ Pearl 

The Ridiculous Pearl adds more length and an even more aggressive move at the breakpoint making it an outstanding option for lighter oil lane conditions and a perfect choice for bowlers with slower ball speed and/or higher rev rate. The Pearl adds a new dimension to the Ridiculous line up.

Xeno™ 

The Xeno features a strong asymmetric core utilizing our innovative finger scoop technology wrapped with an aggressive resin formulation to provide great all-purpose ball motion with more backend continuation for greater entry angle into the pocket.

Due to the success of the Guru line and continued requests from many of Radical supporters, Radical decided to release the original Guru in a pearl cover – the Guru Pearl Limited. The Guru Pearl Limited will be a great addition for anyone who has an original Guru.

The second release is a pearl version of the #1 selling Reliable price point ball, the Ridiculous. Radical has taken the proven performance of the head turning Ridiculous and made it more aggressive at the breakpoint by adding their newest pearl cover formulation. With the new Ridiculous Pearl, the company suggests they have created the next level flip monster. The ocean blue Ridiculous Pearl offers a new level of skid/flip ball motion and will certainly be the go-to ball when more backend reaction is desired.

The new Xeno (meaning alien or strange and pronounced “ZEE-NO”) offers strong-off-the-spot ball motion with excellent continuation through the pins. The Radical ball testers have reported that the Xeno never over-read the dry and never over-skidded in the oil, something that is rarely achieved in today’s performance bowling balls. This combination of strong asymmetric core and unique coverstock formulation promises to be another perfect ball for the house conditions using medium to moderately heavy oil. Xeno gives another outstanding value to league bowlers by offering great performance at the upper-mid price point…now that is Radical.

Radical Bowling Technologies Adds Two New Balls in February

The Radical Ridiculous™ ASYM
The Ridiculous Asym brings a more aggressive reaction to the Ridiculous line. The combination of the new asymmetric core design and the beefed up cover gives the Ridiculous Asym a very different look on the lanes, and with the stronger ball motion, it is the perfect complement to the original Ridiculous.

From Radical “We now have a very Ridiculous one-two punch.”
The Radical Rave™ On
With the Rave On, Radical is introducing a hybrid coverstock formulation featuring some of the popular friction enhancers that they have been using in the Guru series. The result is a more hooking version of the original Rave, and it adds versatility to the mid performance line.

The new Radical Technology balls will be available February 16, 2016.

Radical Bowling Technologies Announces 2 New Balls

Radical Technologies announces the introduction of the Guru Supreme. “We all know that the Guru (61 hook rating by independent testers) set the bar by which all future balls are rated and that the Guru Master raised the bar even higher (62.5 hook rating by independent testers). Well, we are happy to announce that the Guru Supreme takes hook to an unbelievably new level.”

The new Guru Supreme is Black / Light Blue Solid, with a finish of 500, 1500 Siaair Micro Pad wrapped around the Guru Asymmetric core with Offset and Scoop Technology.

Also from Radical: “Many will ask what is too much hook, and the Guru Supreme should help us find out. Using our proven Guru core, we amped up the ball motion with the use of a new resin formulation, and the results open up a new world of performance for the Radical product line. Our intensive market research and sales data indicate that Hook sells, and we are very excited about what the Guru Supreme can offer to bowlers who are looking for stronger ball motion. The Guru Supreme…more hook and more Radical than ever before.”

The story about the Chicago Bear’s Devin Hester and a new ball from Radical: “Ridiculous.”

When a group of ball testers all look at each other after throwing the ball and say that a ball is ridiculous, you have only two things left to do…name it and build it.

The new Ridiculous delivers a new ball motion that is sure to turn heads. The goal at Radical was to impact backend reaction the way the Guru line has impacted the hook dimension of the game, and with the Ridiculous, Radical is pleased to deliver a new performance ball that delivers insanely strong backend reaction. Radical reports: “We have seen it and tested it, and we are now delivering it. It is time to get Ridiculous!”

Demoing The New Brunswick, DV8 and Radical Bowling Technologies

Brunswick seminar Monday October 13th. I rolled the DV8 Thug, Hooligan and Outcast, Radical Guru (wow) and Score, Brunswick Mastermind Intellect (wow), and Brute.

Lane conditions were standard bumper bowling house shot, but if you get in enough there was some oil (of course). Started by rolling a Roto Grip Defiant, my strongest personal ball, drilled mild. When I lined up very deep on the fresh pattern with the Defiant, I was impressed with the Guru and Intellect and their ability to handle the oil volume. The ball layouts are kind of neutral for the demo (typically the Pin is above the finger holes and Center of Gravity in or near the middle of grip, but they are lots stronger than my normal layouts.

I started with the Radical Technologies Guru and then Brunswick Mastermind Intellect, the two strongest balls I planned to demo. Both stood up to their hype. Big hooking balls remove oil from the lane quickly, so I didn’t want to wait to try them.

The Guru was easily as much ball as the Defiant and some more, and the demo layout actually helped get the ball down the lane for me, with more kick downlane. The Intellect is strong with a solid cover and compound finished veneer, unlike the original Mastermind with a 1500 dull finish. The Masterminds (original, Genius, and now Intellect) hook. I was very pleased with my reaction given the surface was finished smoother, as is my Defiant, but compound surface (smoother/shinier) handled the oil very well.

Next I was curious about the new DV8 Thug and Hooligan, then Outcast. On the house condition, with plenty of friction outside of second arrow, the DV8’s played well. Thanks to Legend Carmen Salvino for looking in and suggesting a couple things.

The stronger Thug core needed more room and looked like more speed than I could muster up the ditch but it got down the lane an reacted as expected. The Hooligan, and for me, the (Black/Green) Outcast played particularly well. I was very pleased at what I saw and I encourage players to come check them out.

The next products sampled were the Radical Score and Brunswick Brute. Radical is doing a “buy your loyalty” program to appeal to better bowlers offering a Prize fund for bowlers and shops. If a bowler shoots 300, they can get all or part of a Bounty set aside for the ball’s users. A Bowler wins but the pro shop who sold the ball gets an equal bonus. If this sounds familiar it’s from the former 900 Global President Phil Cardinale, now president at Radical Technologies, who did the same promotion with the 900 Global Bounty, a few years ago.  The Score rolled well, as I expected. You don’t throw money at a product promotion unless you know you have something special. The shiny Brute on the other hand joined the DV8 balls as unexpectedly easy to get down the lane with nice pop at the pins. Again, the layout is not what I usually use but it worked well (who would have guessed) for most of the bowlers, on the shot put out at Brunswick Zone, Woodridge.

Radical Technologies Adds Two New Balls

Radical Technologies Reax™ Version 2 Pearl The Reax Version 2 Pearl in Dark Violet /Light Violet Pearl is the perfect complement to the strong Reax Version 2.  The Pearl version gives just the right amount of additional length with an even stronger backend reaction.  The Reax Version 2 Pearl incorporates the innovative finger scoop asymmetric core technology that provides a variety of advanced drillings in order to assure the desired performance. This combination of cover and core provides more length, more backend reaction and a greater entry angle resulting in MORE STRIKES!!!!  Finish is 500 Siaair Micro Pad, Royal Compound, Royal Shine

Grease Monkey™ Radical Technologies is introducing a new line in their EZ-Use category – Grease Monkey. Radical  takes the EZ-Use category to the next level by incorporating the innovative finger scoop core technology used in Top Shelf and Reliable price points. The Grease Monkey has a unique cover formulain Black / Purple / Silver Hybrid that when combined with the new symmetric core shape provides a completely new ball motion to the Radical product line.  Finish 500 Siaair Micro Pad, Royal Compound, Royal Shine.

Radical Technologies Adds 2 Balls

Reax™ Version 2 “We have worked hard to find a new resin formulation,” reports a Radical spokesman “and the results are magnificent.” This new resin allows the REAX Version 2 to clear the fronts with ease and corner like there is no tomorrow, a motion not normally seen in an aggressive asymmetrical ball. However, Radical cautions that the REAX Version 2 has more overall hook than its original version, but we moved that hook to the back end of the lane. The result is a strong hooking ball that retains energy through the pins, and this energy retention translates into better pin carry. The core in the REAX Version 2 is a new technology as well. Radical incorporated the finger scoop concept first seen in the original Yeti™ and combined it with the patented Off-Set Technology in the original REAX™. The results are eye-opening with a ball motion not seen in the market since the introduction of the resin coverstock.

Yeti™ Untamed This second generation Yeti incorporates the same dynamic symmetric core as the original Yeti with a new resin base coverstock. “The Yeti Untamed is a monster, and it has more overall hook than the original Yeti with most of the action taking place down the lane” reports Radical. To say the Yeti Untamed has a big back end would be an understatement. With its polished finish (500 Siaair Micro Pad, Royal Compound, Royal Shine), the black/emerald green solid Yeti Untamed offers unmatched performance at this price point.
