First Radical ball
« on: May 16, 2014, 10:29:05 AM »
Looking for suggestions on what would be a good Radical ball.  I tend to do better with a symmetrical core, so I was looking at a Yeti or Torrid.  Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed.

Truthfully, we would need much more information to give you a recommendation. I too tend to do better with symmetrical equipment and recently got my first Radical ball, a Torrid Affair. I love it and am sticking with the brand for summer. The Affair needed about 10 games to come alive, but it is now my go to ball for league. I will also be purchasing a Yeti Unleashed for nationals.
That's not much help, but the bottom line is please post your specs as much as possible and those much more knowledgeable in the brand than I will surely recommend an option. Mid price, medium oil, the Affair is great for me and I'm a low rev lefty.

I to also like symmetric balls, but the first Radical ball i drilled was the Reax V2. I've had some success with the ball and now have gone to a full Radical lineup. The Reax V2 gives great length, and amazing carry. I have it drilled Pin high above the bridge with the mass bias about an inch to right of thumb (sorry dont have the angles off the top of my head). I used this piece and a Grease Monkey to come in 4th place in a local tourney bowling on the USBC Open Team condition.  The Grease Monkey is a very special piece. I have mine drilled pin below bridge (really short pin). Basically when the lanes are fried my monkey is still in play.

Radical V2

 :)My 4th Radical for the 2013/2014 season, drilled at 30x4.5x35
PAP 5.25 over .75 up
I am more of a finesse player with low rev rate, threw this ball as it comes out of the box, ball hits very hard, the actual sound is different than anything I have ever thrown, based on the league play lane conditions I needed more at the backend so I polished the V2 and have produced a serious weapon for my arsenal. Shot 767 in league play and have convinced a few other bowlers in the league to try a Radical

I have had great success with the Yeti
For most house shots this ball exceeds all expectations

In our line there are some really good symmetrical pieces you can choose from.  If you are on a tighter budget I would suggest getting the Torrid Affair this ball is one of the most versatile pieces we have.  Whether you are a low/high rev rate players it works very well.  The strength of the cover is what surprises most people. 

If you are looking for a polished piece with a strong motion in the backend.  I would recommend the Yeti Untamed.  The more information you give us the better.
