65 x 3.75 x 30

Strong, continuous layout. This ball allows me to get my feet pretty far left on the fresh. It has a lot of backend, but it does real the mid lane fairly well. The Reax V2 core with the stronger cover is a great combination. A little less hook than the Guru line, but more versatile. The price point and performance of this ball won't be matched by anyone else. This is a must have for heavier volume patterns.

The Radical Xeno is to me, the most interesting ball of the start of the season in the Radical family. If you go back 3 years ago, you can find the same core in our high end ball of the time, the Reax version 2. Now, you can find that same core, with a brand new coverstock technology in a mid-price ball. So you have a high end performance for an upper-mid price point. With that amount of potential hook, I want a smooth reacting ball with a lot of continuation so I went with 45x5x75 layout. First impression: WOW! That core has now a cover to fulfill all is potential. The reaction is awesome, very steady and a lot of teeth on oily lanes. That ball will be perfect for medium to oily lanes. For my part, I’m looking to use it on sports conditions, mostly medium pattern and maybe on long pattern. So, you want high end type reaction without paying the high end price, the Xeno is the ball you want!

Xeno: meaning other; different in origin. Are YOU looking for a DIFFERENT look at the pins? Do you want continuation that seemingly never stops?

Specs: Left Handed, 15 mph, ~400 rev rate, drilled my Xeno 45*x4.5"x40* (PAP is 4 1/2" over, 1/2" up). This puts the pin above the bridge for me. I chose this drilling because I had already drilled my Jackpot pin down, and with numbers similar to the Primo, I decided to move the pin up Xeno and maintain the box cover prep.

This resin cover compliments the rest of the equipment in my arsenal, which has allowed me to keep my angles a bit more closed and use the pin up combined with the cover to get the ball through the fronts. The core has retained much of its mass, since I drilled this pin up, which gets the ball through the pins very well. The centers I bowl in have all converted to Twisters, so that has been a learning experience by itself, and this layout has given me a great compliment in my arsenal so I have a variety of options of ways to get the ball to go through the pins!

For comparison purposes, I have the flexibility to use this ball when my Jackpot is revving up too soon (I have put a bit of surface on my Jackpot, and pin down drilling) and not going through the pins correctly, or I can use this ball (and stay in a similar zone) if my Ridiculous Pearl is not going through the pins correctly. At Radical, it is all about building arsenals and filling gaps, and the Xeno does just that. Not all balls will carry 100% of the time due to the countless variables in our sport. The Xeno is a great ball to have if you need a ball to read the lane a tad earlier, so that you can add variety to the path your shots are traveling through the pin deck.

I punched up my Xeno 55x5x45 putting the pin over the bridge with no hole as a similar layout to my Reax2 which was one of my favorite balls from a few seasons ago.
Right out of the box my first reaction was amazement at how smooth this ball rolled.  It has sufficient traction up front to not hydroplane, a strong read of the mids and a smooth arcy backend that is very easy to read. 
So far I have used it on a 36' Challenge pattern playing up the ditch, hooked the lane on a few random house conditions and played tight to the track on truly heavy oil.  I've had at minimum a decent look to the pocket on all of these patterns and surprisingly my best look was trusting the ball right on short. 
Compared to other balls in my bag, it is a little earlier than the Reax2 and softer off the backend than my Ridiculous Asym.  The ball it is closest to is the Vandal Smash, which in my hands is slightly longer with a little more backend.  The Xeno is a good step down from the hook monsters, but with its dull surface will at least be able to get you to the pocket in heavy oil.
I highly recommend the Xeno to anybody who is looking for a first ball out of the bag on a wide variety of lane conditions.  If you like to keep your angles straighter and are wanting a ball for anything from medium oil or more then this is the ball for you

Drilled the XENO due to the similarities it had to the REAX V2 solid, I wanted a controlled asymmetrical so I used a 75, 5, 70 layout and it was just what I was looking for.  I bowl lots of tournaments and this is my benchmark ball, it reduces the over under of the flatter pattern.  This ball will be making the trip to Vegas.
