go to the Radical Facebook page to see the latest comparison video with the Guru Supreme also we have a surface friction comparison chart and the impact of the lane surface on your ball. Its a real eye opener.

I own quite a few Radical balls but I don't do Facepalm either.  Sorry, Facebook.

I don't do Facebook; it is a place for children to entertain one another. Bowling is not a "Social Media"; it is a game and a sport. Please post to a bowling web site. Bowlers are interested in what a manufacturer has to say.

"Go to Facebook" instead of your own website? Did I really just read that?

More companies are providing up to date information on their respective FB pages. Social media is a fact of life, and companies are simply going where the traffic already is.
 
A few of the bowling tournament clubs I belong to do all their communication through their FB pages. Same with the Sport Shot League I bowl in.
 
Facebook is much more than just posting pictures and shooting the breeze with buddies. I don't understand why anyone would ignore it in this day and age.

As strong as the Guru Supreme looks in the vid, I was most blown away by how much lane shine effects the surface grit of the bowling ball.  First thing I did after watching this vid was hit the spinner.

Wow I should called you before we did the video. You missed the point. Watch it again and learn about surface changes do to the lane friction. The paradox was not a second. All we drilled the same. The most important part was the initial surface after ten games than all leveled out after 20 so the stating friction didn't matter after 20 games.
But thank you for you insightful input.

That wasn't the purpose of the test. It was a friction info video. It did show that the supreme was the smoothest finish and still performed better than the competition. Did you know about box finish listed is dramatically different that that listed and did you know that after 20 games they would be relatively the same. I have to bet not because I didn't even know that. I learned something from the test. Did you?

Yes, it be.  ;)
 
I don't make the rules. FB is a growing alternate website reality and it's increasing importance for communication is not going away. Protesting by not joining will accomplish nothing. You can take the stance of "I do not do Facebook" and miss out, or sign up to get information otherwise not available to you.
 
With the FB privacy settings available, you can use FB for nothing more than accessing private groups and company information not available elsewhere. Your choice. Whatever.

yes. This info is nothing new to many PSO's. My question is, which ball lost the most hook? The Guru Master is supposed to be the strongest ball on the market by 5 boards, per Radical. But after 20, it is about 1 board stronger than the Menace. Which is what I saw.

P.S.- Motiv lists the exact balls surface on the box via Laser scan. They do not have the conflicting surfaces as the 4 balls that you have shown do. Just letting you know is all.
so you are telling me they laser scan every ball they make as they come down the production line. I really doubt that.
The menace was the closer to the supreme than any of the rest. And unless you had a robot throwing the ball and a CATS reader like we have you statement can not be validate. Lastly you are saying that you knew that a ball listed at 500 /2000 was actually 1440. Again I find that hard to believe. However you are as intitled to you opinions as am I. Have a great holiday.

Thank you. But using between 1200 and 1500 is a big gap. Apparently I'm easily impressed.  But I am open minded. Once again thank you for your input and insightful comments. I think we have worn this topic out.
Good luck to you. And have a Happy Thanksgiving

That's fine, and that's your right. The beauty of America is choice, and you've chosen.
 
But don't be surprised or bewildered when information is posted and discussed that you don't have access to read and see. That's the flip side and consequence of "choosing not to".
