Description:  The Radical Primo Solid has a core shape that utilizes Radical's patented scoop core technology and is paired with an aggressive solid reactive coverstock formula.  This combination produces a powerful hook motion for tournament patterns that have heavier and longer oil conditions.

Here comes the new piece in the Radical arsenal, the Primo Solid. That ball features the same symmetric Primo core wrapped with a brand new resin formulation. That combination results in a ball that will roll sooner than the original Primo. You’ll not see a difference from right to left with the new Primo but more from front to back. Why the Primo Solid? With the upcoming tournament season, you’ll see higher volume or longer pattern. The Primo solid will give you better midlane read without sacrificing backend.

For my part, I drilled the Solid exactly the same as the original Primo. 55x4.75x50 was the choice. I played 856 with the original couple months ago and love the reaction so that’s why the 2 balls have same layout. With that drilling, the Primo Solid is under my Guru Mighty and overlaps my Diva Divine. Both cover the same amounts of boards but with very different shape. At first sight, the ball is really good looking and it rolls great! I think it rolls a bit too soon for THS but I had great results on faster, higher volume lanes/pattern. I shot 802 just 5 days after drilling the ball. So, I don’t have to tell you more about how I think that ball and his predecessor are unbelievable.

Primo Solid and Primo original are a great 1-2 punch and I think these two balls are a must-have in any arsenal. The Most important thing, Stay Radical my Friends!

This one is definitely going to USBC Open Championships. 
I am so incredibly excited about this ball!! Finally Brunswick has made a symmetrical solid that clears the front and reads the mid-lane while saving most of the motion for the back (instead of burning up in the middle of the lane).  This strong, continuous angular arching motion is one that is great for medium to medium-oily lanes.  I drilled mine 70 x 5.25 x 30 ... the downlane motion is everything I would want from an ideal symmetrical solid.  I can't wait to drill a pin down to take to nationals.  This ball is something special.  If you're thinking of a new one to put in the bag for nationals, you have to consider this one.

Likes:  I drilled my Primo Solid using dual angle of 15x4x65. I see this one much cleaner through the front part of the lane and mid-lane than the original.  It is about a foot longer with a stronger backend motion with good carry.  A great one-two punch.

Dislikes: none

As a huge fan of the Radical Yeti Unleashed, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Primo Solid.  For me, the Primo Solid has a similar motion to the Yeti Unleashed with a little more length and a lot more continuation.  When the original Primo isn't quite enough, the Primo Solid gives me a good bit more traction handling heavier volumes of oil with ease.  So far, the cover has proven to be very versatile, responding very well to surface adjustments.  I went with one of my favorite layouts (Pin under MF which puts it about 5.5" from my axis).  This layout keeps the Primo Solid in play on a wider range of conditions for me and also allows me to blend the wet / dry house patterns in the area.
