I have both. Although I rarely go around calling a ball superior to another ball, as I personally adhere to the "drill a ball correctly for your game, match up a ball properly to your game, and you have a good ball" philosophy, I have to say that the Angular One is an all around better ball. Yes, the Radical has its moments and it may be better on specific conditions, i.e. very fresh backends, the Angular is certainly the all around better ball. The Radical has a catastrophic flaw on carrydown. I personally feel as though this may be due to the Symmetric core which are generally more hook set naturally. A hook set ball on carrydown will either skate through the oil on the backend and do nothing or hook up front and hit like a marshmello. Channges in hand position, like spinning the ball to promote more length and a stronger backend, alleviate this problem to an extent, but can never replace the reaction that you get from a continuous reacting ball.
Nte that the Angular is around 3 boards stronger with fresh backends and I expect, though I have nt tried it on heavy that it will be around 5 boards stronger overall. It is very strong, checks up early for a 4000 grit polished pearl, though it is still increadibly strong on the backend. Think at least medium / heavy with common layouts.
