Radical Bowling - Phil Cardinales New Company
« on: February 09, 2011, 11:38:50 AM »
Blurb from BJI:

 

• Phil Cardinale has founded Radical Bowling LLC, a new bowling ball company specializing in the creation and distribution of high-performance bowling balls. Cardinale, who spent the last three years in charge of sales and marketing for 900 Global, left that company at the end of 2010 to start Radical Bowling. “After decades of accumulating knowledge on the development and manufacturing of bowling balls, I felt it was time to use that experience out on my own,” Cardinale said. “I wish to create the best bowling balls for bowlers of any skill level, particularly mid- to high-average bowlers looking to improve their score and level of play.” Info: www.radicalbowling.com

Anyone have any other information?

Phil,
 

 I'm not trying to "stir the pot" so to speak, but I would like to ask you a question or so.

 

 I've been a user of lots of AMF stuff in the past couple of years, and found that G900/AMF had much to offer and that their stuff was on par with what the "big boys" had to offer.

 

 My question is, why the new company? Is it just another offshoot brand from the G900 parent, or is it a stand alone company?

 And, are you still going to be involved at all with G900/AMF, or is that all over and you're going it out on your own again?

 

 The reason I'm asking is, I seem to do pretty well when I throw stuff that you've had a hand in. The covers you pick, and the cores you tend to match them with, somehow always seem to be pretty good in my hands and, if your OUT at G900/AMF, I'd be more prone to try one of the Radical balls, just to get the benefit of your years of experience at making things that seem to nearly always work for me.


"Yeah, I throw AMF. What's it to ya"?

You have a way with words, I am a total seperate entity, no longer involved with Global. You can expect the same performance from me you had seen in the past and hopefully as in SLANT a new look as well. thanks for the kind words and support.

Phil

They will be available to the consumers in about 10 days. All our
testing is done here in San Antonio, we use several levels of bowlers on
various lane conditions.
Thanks This is from a e-mail from Phil Cardinale that I got.


I hate ten pins but love the game of bowling with just the right ball to take them out.

 Thanks for the information Phil. It is always a good thing when the powers that be can be counted on to be open and honest with us. You have no obligation to us, yet you find the time to come and converse here with the "common man" as it were.
 

 Love the colors of the new ball, but am wondering about that name.

 

 The SLANT? Any significance there, or just denoting the fact that your taking a different "SLANT" on bowling balls?

So Phil, what type of ball reaction are we looking at with the Slant?

Im looking for a medium/Medium dry lane ball to replace a Dark Star in my current arsenal. I am hoping this ball with a weaker layout could handle that poistion. When will it be available? What do you think of it filling that spot? I am very anxious to try this ball, I just recently bought my first 900 Global Ball which was the Bank Pearl which I love, I am going to give Radical every chance!

I don't know much about the Dark Star but I know Slant was tested and perfomed admirably on mediums so if you play with drilling it will do just fine.
We start shipping distributors end of week.

Thanks

How does the Slant core compare to the AMF Big Heist?  Really hard to tell with the 2 different views (2d vs 3d), but they look like they could be similar.
