Title: Times Up Solid .....Just Pure $$$$$$
Post by: tekneek on February 03, 2012, 12:05:26 AM
Many thanks to Phil for the seed ball to do a performance review. Nice blending of the two colors, ball has a lot of appeal for a solid. #15/3 gross weight with 3 oz top, 3-3.5" pin.
Drilled and used for the first time 2/2 in league on a fresh medium - medium heavy ths, 41 ft pattern with OB at 3 Pro Anville lanes (4 yrs old). Went with a 5 x 3 pin over with a 25/32, 2.25" deep x-hole 1" below mid line 1-1/2" past my val, x-hole 6-3/4" from pin. Ball at box finish. After a very brief warm up of 5 balls I found a line began and finished standing at 35, set down at 15, to 8 at the down lane markers. Just pure killing field, like shooting ducks in a wash tub. Had 30 clean frames 2 balls with 8 count (operator error), rest were either 7 pin, 9 pin and best of all only 3 ten pins all night, 228,238,235 solid 9 and a couple smash mouth pocket 7's kept 2 games from being in the 250-260 range. Phil also sent a black t-shirt with the company logo and "Phil - osophy" "Radical, it's more than an attitude" ended up selling 6 of those last night !!!
TUS for a solid is very clean up front, almost as clean as the pearl Times Up, has more angularity than I thought it might, very strong hard hook off the spot. Plenty of recovery plenty of hook !! More than you will realize until you throw it yourself, for a lower tier priced performance ball do not be fooled, this ball will hook with any mid to mid high priced ball from any manufacturer !!!
The Times Up Solid will be released mid to late February according to my supplier of info, if interested give me a call, pm, or text the number in the signature of this post for ordering, or other info........many thanks for your time.... Radical "it's more than an attitude"

Just got my TU and TUS ready for drilling. Will have a review up shortly. I've been tearing up the lanes with my Slant Solid the past 6 Weeks so I'm really looking forward to what the midline stuff does in med to drier conditions. Tekneek, how is your TUS drilled.
ITS NEVER THE BALL OR THE LANES FAULT, ITS OPERATOR ERROR.

Maybe here is your answer! From Steve's profile, "57 yr old RH, almost as wide as I'm tall"
One of the best bowler's in my house will stand 25 throw right up the 5 board, large powerful fella!

i would be interested in seeing a comparison of between both of the times up. I have the times up pearl and the ball is just a beast. way stronger than i thought but in a good way. it out performs a lot of my high end gear.
im also glad to see more balls coming out from radical.

being a solid it is earlier, excellent mid lane roll with a strong move off eh end of the pattern. Will naturally handle more oil than the pearl, A very good 1-2 punch.

Put an order in with my distributer today for this ball. I can't wait for it to come in. I love the TU pearls reaction and it just makes me drool over the thought of a solid. Besides the pearl i have all 3 of the slants plus a second pearl Slant. They are all awesome pieces!!
