My first Radical ball was the black guru...my second the reax V2 pearl (a moment of silence please).  Since introducing myself to Radical, I haven't looked back. Before I continue Radical family, I must confess for I have sinned...I wanted to see what the hype was and I threw a friend's Timeless today...gasp...after 3 shots, I was comforted by the sounds of strikes from my Ridiculous and Whack!

Now that I got that off my chest (lol)...I'm looking to put an arsenal together...strictly for tournaments (though i may get the urge to throw a few pieces during leagues here and there).  Looking at purchasing 2 balls...so here's what i have at moment:

Fix (undrilled, looking at motion hole layout)
Jackpot solid (undrilled)
Ridiculous pearl (undrilled)
--------------------------------------------------
Ridiculous (70×5×40)
Whack (pin up motion hole)
Gusto (50×5×40)

So I'm thinking top 3, a pin down xeno or maybe original jackpot/rave...and possibly a cash.  What are your thoughts?

Thank you in advance to those that offer advice!

Heavy:  Cash for sure
Heavy/Medium:  Ridiculous Asym / Fix
Medium:  Jackpot Solid
Medium Light:  Ridiculous Pearl

With that said look into buying a Cash and a Ridiculous Asym since you have the other stuff.  Cash will be the top of your bag.  ridiculous asym you can get right now on buddies pro shop for $79.  just a great all around ball that can fit almost anywhere in your arsenal.

I don't have a suggestion. Just wanted to get more details on your 3 shots with the Timeless!

Well...let's just say i couldn't find the pocket if it was sewn to my jeans lol.  My buddy didn't like the ball and wanted to sell it after one game, which is what made me want to try it. Maybe it was drilled too strong or it just didn't suit the pattern but i tried different angles and the ball just didn't respond or go thru the pins well (ball was oob surface). Picked up my Ridiculous which was sanded to 1500 and i was able to play up the boards and swing deep shots to strike. Same with whack...which is at a 4000 surface.  I guess after seeing all of the marketing videos, I was expecting to see a very dramatic move...maybe i should've thrown it 2-handed lol.

I think the Cash and a Rack Attack added to what you have would compliment everything nicely while fitting the need for a true oil ball and a ball for when the backend is flying
