GOOD!
I think I had only seen this ball once before....on the rack you can't decide...ugly...or good looking.
The closest ball I could picture in reaction is the Columbia EGO.
Very heavy rev up. With the color patterns it makes one think they have just incredible amounts of revs. And then when it hits the rack it seems to do about 10 revs in the pin deck/.
Despite the heavy rev up the ball gets very easy lenght for a medium low rg ball.
My instructor put a little weaker pin on for me than usual but the heavy roll was surprising. They say a Messenger Ti clone in a way...but something seems better.
As I said...seems cleaner with heavier rev up...for me, not so skid snap as others have described but NO lack of backend move!
Could become a real jewel for me...to see...

Great ball i actually kept this ball and had it redrilled that says it was worth its weight per say with me, i had a few great sets with it last year with the old grip. It is getting plugged and redrilled as i write this, it should be ready for wednesday night men's league.

shh dont tell anyone it is a keeper and so is the new radar lock haha
also procure yourself a supreme justice solid before it goes away too again i kept it which if you watch what i have sold that means i like it alot.

Yes the supreme justice solid has the same cover used on the TNT ball comes shiny out of the box, revs up hard and keeps on coming another ball worth having. The radar lock rolls lot like an absolute inferno with more backend reaction, it is a big step up from the Radar.

The Supreme Justice Pearl was a great ball that just plainly got lost within the line. We attribute that to being released only 3 weeks before the Radar, and we all know how that ball took off.

SAD...I looked at my hand after my first few tosses and said...
"Cranker???"
WOW!
I've heard different than Radar too! Snappier they say?

LL....that's exactly what I thought when I threw the Radar.... Wow, do I have that much hand!
Based on the hook ratings on the AMF site the Radar is at 57 and the SJP is at 45. They both use the Mach 1 reactive pearl shell. Anyone use both and can let us know the differences. Can the SJP be a good go to ball when the Radar is starting to overhook? Thanks.

MFortney or MattFortney from this site had a few posts on the comparisons.
I believe he said the Radar was smoother and very continuous and the SJP was more skid snap for him....he had both...
For me the SJP is NOT that skid snap but is very clean and very strong at back!

PS others commented similar on the posts I had seen in the past on this subject.

The SJP is a very good ball that most people don't know about.

you hit the nail on the head luckylefty. the SJP for me was much more snappy than the radar. the radar did have a strong backend, but made a smoother transition. the sjp in my opinion is one of the most over-looked balls out there.
lol as far as color goes, i've been throwing it for a while and still can't decide if it looks good or ugly as sin lol.
