Likes: Wow... where should I start with the new Guru Mighty!!! When I heard this ball would be longer and with the same total hook as the Guru, it was hard to believe. I drilled mine 50x4.5x35, same as my original Guru. After throwing a few shots on our high volume house shot, I knew that this ball was special. It gets a few feet longer but RECOVERS!!! It does exactly what Radical states it does, just like in their Perception vs Reality videos. The Guru and Mighty are a great 1-2 punch.

Ball has the exact same core but they modified the additives in the coverstock to project it further. This ball performs, period!!

Dislikes: Doesnt like dry lanes

Likes: I watched the ball review videos and wanting something that would be ultra-smooth and not long. So I drilled it up pin below middle / stacked. This ball was too smooth at out of box. Took it to 500 and saw great transformation - nice roll transition off breakpoint consistent - with continuous action through pins.

Dislikes: None

Specs:

13* Tilt
50* Axis of Rotation
19.5mph
400rpm

Layout A : 50 / 5 / 40

The new cover is phenomenal. Skids a few feed further than the Guru and just as much hook. When this thing hits the spot it rips through the rack like nothing I have ever seen. Love this on my house conditions and great on medium-long sport conditions. I just bowled a tournament and was playing pretty deep and striking at will. The cover gave me the skid I needed to get through the heads and mid lane. I was able to play 30 to 8 fading across the lane while no one else could get anything else to hook nearly that amount. The core is so strong, so it was able to come back from places a bowling ball shouldn't.

Bowler Stats:
18-19 mph
400-425 rpm
5-7 degree tilt
40-60 degree rotation

Layout: 45 degrees by 5" by 45 degrees

Initial thoughts: The Guru Mighty has some big shoes to fill if it's going to meet the glory that the original Guru has received. On paper and on video, the Mighty is supposed to have the same overall hook potential as the original but with more backend reaction. I used the same layout for the Mighty as I did my original for a true apples-to-apples comparison.

On the lanes: WHOA! I didn't think it was possible but the Mighty is every bit as strong as advertised. On two fresh house shots, I could play almost the exact same line with both the Mighty and the original. Thrown on the same line, the Mighty could push about a foot or so more before making its move to the pocket. However due to its stronger backend reaction due to the hybrid cover, the Mighty for me was actually a half to whole board stronger than the original due to the built-in friction of the house shot. The main difference that I see between the two balls is obviously the increased downlane motion of the Mighty which leads to being able to stay with the ball longer throughout the session. Where the original might be tempted to burn up a little early and leave a few weak 10s, the Mighty can still corner downlane enough to snap out those 10s. To put it into a little more perspective, I was able to play well inside of 4th arrow with the Mighty and I was sawing out 10s even with my low tilt (even after 4 games!).

On longer, heavier patterns, I believe the Mighty to be about a board weaker than the original due to the slighter read of the midlane. As the lane transitions, you'll see the Mighty catch up to the original in overall hook before potentially surpassing it.

Closing Remarks: I hesitate to make such a bold claim early on, but I tend to feel that the Mighty will become more popular than the original Guru. I say this due to the increased versatility and the ability to stay with the ball longer throughout the set while still maintaining a metric ton of hook potential. My Mighty remains next to my original Guru at the top of my bag. The two combine to give me maximum hook potential with varying shapes on the backend. Get one, or get beat by it!

The next big thing is at our door! The Guru Mighty is the newest ball in the Top Shelf line in Radical Bowling Technologies arsenal. For those who have the original Guru, this ball has same amount of hook but gives you about 3 feet more down the lane.

For those who doesn't have put you hand on a Guru yet, stop looking at the show and be part of it! Seriously, I never see a strong asymetrical ball that has such backend reaction! It's amazing. I never thought it was possible to play with that kind of ball beyond 21st to 23rd board without losing backend when you play such deep inside part of the lane. Believe me or not, I play with that ball, the Guru Mighty targeting 27th to 28th board (between 5th and 6th arrow) and 10th at break point in game 7 and 8 of an 8-game qualifying squad. The ball keep going the distance without loosing any energy and keep coming back at the pocket. I'm a 450 rpm, 17.5-18 mph type of player. Even my ball driller, who was playing on the same lanes and a very very good player, didn't understand how that ball continu to give me lenght and backend at this point. I think it's one of the most versatile ball I ever had in my bag.

My layout is 60*4.5*40, nothing to fency but it's very effective!

If you haven't try Radical balls yet, you have to try the Guru Mighty. You'll not be disappointed!
