The Radical Torpedo Direct Hit Pearl brings an innovative approach to dry lane conditions and spare shooting. Utilizing the same dynamic Torpedo core as its counterpart, this ball is wrapped in the newly formulated Low Friction Cover (LFC), allowing for effortless length and controlled motion. With an RG of 2.482, a total differential of .054, and an intermediate differential of .017, the Torpedo Direct Hit provides the benefits of an asymmetrical core without the risk of rolling too early or hitting flat. The Torpedo Direct Hit offers precision, predictability, and versatility in one dynamic package, ideal for bowlers with lower ball speeds or those needing a reliable spare ball.

I drilled the Radical Torpedo Direct Hit 55 x 4.5” x 35 to mimic the layout used on my Radical Torpedo. I wanted a 1:1 comparison, and these two balls are perfect compliments for varying oil patterns. The Torpedo Direct Hit has the newly formulated Low Friction Cover (LFC), making it great for lower ball speeds or rev dominant players.  I can move 8-4 left (left-handed) with the Radical Torpedo Direct Hit compared to the Torpedo, tighten up my line, and play closer to the friction without worrying about the ball jumping or hooking early. The lower friction cover helps the ball glide down the lane, making it the perfect ball for late shift moves, lower volumes, or burn squads. I can stand closer to the gutter, allowing me to get enough entry angle to carry those pesky corner pins on the regular. If you are looking for a perfect ball that gives you that quality asymmetric hit, with a controllable cover, then the Radical Torpedo Direct Hit is perfect for you!
