After a few seasons of always trying the latest and greatest, I finally got a ball that I felt filled a hole.  I needed something that wouldn't burn up for my second shift league.  I decided to go with a Radical.  I know that this ball doesn't seem to be very popular, but I do have some questions.  This ball is as clean and as forgiving as any I've thrown, saving a ton of energy.  It really fits my game.  It has really shown me that I had made some bad choices in the past (Scorchin, etc).  To help someone who doesn't know a ton about layouts (was told it was for max length and little hook, which is what it does), can anyone generalize why it hooks/carries better than I was expecting? Cover?  Layout?  I'd like to understand what I'm seeing because I was not expecting this from this ball and I don't want to make a mistake when I go to buy a ball for more oil.  Any medium/medium heavy ball suggestions welcome, no brand preference.

This is one of the reasons it can be beneficial to try new stuff.  You can talk about covers, cores, RGs and diffs until you're blue in the face, but you still won't know how the ball will work in YOUR hands, on YOUR condition.  Just file away the pertinent info about this ball, and in the future you can use that to make decisions on others.  Myself, for instance, I now know that I don't match up well with equipment with a mass bias rating that's real high, in the .025 range and up.  Now I avoid those balls like the plague.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...
