First 700 - Radical Times Up
« on: August 19, 2014, 09:09:23 PM »
Rolled my first official 700 at summer league tonight (707) and it was the original Times Up to the rescue. Started the set with the Grease Monkey but it just wasn't matching up, hot and cold. I switched to the TU in the 10th and I salvaged a 181. Stuck with the TUbfor the next two and went 259 and 267.

I've really been digging the original Times Up (blue and purple) for some time now although admittedly I wasn't a big fan when I first drilled it last winter. But now I'd give my left arm to discover a current ball (or balls) that gave me the same great smooth reaction the TU gives me on my local house conditions.

What's old is new again.

Subbing last week at a house that is notoriously stingy with oil, I brought my trusty old Time's Up.  I walked out with a new personal best series of 760 (224-247-289).

Many balls have come and gone in my collection since I first purchased a Times Up (I'm on my second Time's Up).  Some of those balls I loved and some not so much.  Some I have kept, many I have not.  But I have never gotten rid of the Time's Up and it continues to shine when I really need it.  My highest game (299) and highest series have come with this ball.

I dread the day I will actually really need a replacement for it.  Bring it back Phil.

Wouldn't the Cyclops or Cyclops pearl be the closest match in Radical's current lineup?  Both are stronger than the Time's Up I believe, though.

I was actually eyeing the cyclops. It looks quite promising.
