I like it. A bit more detailed than the old chart and seems like it's bigger so things are spaced out in a way that you can see the differences better.

I wonder how the red aysm is more angular than the black ridiculous, jackpot, and guru limited?

That's cool, but I have 3 Radical balls and none of them are on there.  It would be good to have one that had all Radical balls on it.

I agree.  I have four Radical balls and none are on the chart.

Radical along with other manufacturers are trying to push new equipment.  This is why only balls in production will be shown on their marketing products.  Once a ball is retired, it will come off the chart.

But it would be much easier to buy a new Radical ball, if I knew how they compared to  my existing Radical balls.  Otherwise I might purchase one that is similar to one I already own.

I agree. I have 3 Radical balls that I've picked up off clearance. I have no idea how they compare to the new stuff. Most companies do take their old balls off the list. But Motiv still keeps the balls hook ratings, length  and surface on their retired balls. It's still a guide to help compare the old with the new. I know Phil frequents the site, maybe he will take notice and add some retired balls to the chart.

Or you could maybe not put so much emphasis on a chart. There are other options out there that can help your decision making

I depend heavily on the chart showing how one Radical ball compares to another.  I am sure there are other ways to compare them, but I have relied heavily on the Radical website to compare one to the other.

I don't know many people that have Radical balls, and the pro shop I frequent doesn't know much about them.  It would be a real big help for me to have all the Radical balls represented somewhere for comparison purposes.

I have a gift certificate I need to use, and I would like to buy another Radical ball with it, but I don't want to buy one of the newer ones, and have it be the same thing I already have.

Thanks.  I think I  had those already though.  I would like to see one with all Radical balls ever manufactured on it.  They discontinue them so quickly.

discontinued seems to be a word that gets over used in our industry. We take balls out of production because they slow down or we have the right amount of inventory to complete the life cycle. We usually let a ball go about 18 to 24 months before we discount the balance of our inventory. That is a pretty long life cycle in the todays market.
Regarding new product, we do not duplicate performance, when we have new technology we add it to the line and it always falls under a new name plate.  The Fix features a totally different concept in core design. That's our newest technology. 
The word overlap is a very subjective word and depends on the bowlers style and condition they are bowling on can occur. The balls are set up on the chart and include the catalog balls only. once a ball is removed from the catalog it usually comes off the chart. Its tough to manage all the balls ever made. Sorry we can not create a chart that includes all the balls but I think we do a great job keeping abreast of the performance either with the videos or the performance charts.
