This is the information I have about the new releases
-
They are moving out some product
-
I know a some Brunswick Staffers will now be throwing Radical stuff here in a couple of weeks. They will giving staffers these two balls and also the recently released Torrid Elite. I was also told that the Reax and Yeti have some components of the new cover stuff that Brunswick has been using in the new releases. Phil said he wanted to look at older cores and wrap new covers around them so see if they remind you of anything.
-
I saw the yeti on an episode of finding Bigfoot ;) this one I want to try !
-
Both balls are really good. Looking forward to testing them in the next weeks
-
Says the Yeti is symettric and the Reax is asym, looks opposite to me. Still can't wait to get these for Reno.
-
Nope the yeti is symmetrical and the read is an asymmetrical
-
I believe them just by looking at cores that's what it looks like to me.

They'll both be asymmetric once you put holes in them...
-
Every ball is assymetric once drilled, not just these two.
-
The core in the REAX is using Mo's patented offset design.
The YETI core is pretty advanced, and you'll soon see why when all the drilling data becomes available.
-
The Yeti core looks like it could be a dual purpose core. Meaning, standard layouts and it behaves like a symmetrical. But with specially placed weight holes, can really increase the intermediate diff for some serious angle down lane. Look at how it looks asymmetrical around the pin.
I'll be placing my order within the week. I just placed an order and would have added these had I known.
-
Ditto that Back. I just places an order this Monday. But as soon as we, staffers, are able to order, Im sending mine in for 2 of each.
-
Saw it on fb, looks great
-
Offset Core....count me in for a REAX
-
These are two very unique pieces.
The Yeti patent pending, has some very interesting characteristics, you can change the diff dramatically by simply placing the pin above or below the fingers. The core is designed to only allow only inner core material to be removed on Pin under drilling's thus lowering the diff. On Pin above drilling the finger holes never touch the inner core, dramatically increasing the diff. Also strategically placed balance holes can create a large mid diff if desired. Oh by the way the reaction is nothing less than spectacular.
The Reax, patented core is a hook monster, it uses the off set core technology and it has a very aggressive coverstock. You can match the drill sheets to a particular style and select the ball motion you desire and get exactly what you desire. a lot of hard work went into developing this package but it is very easy to follow. Our testing raved about the balls strength and continuation. It is very strong. Very Strong!!!!
Look for them soon.

if they're pieces better than a Torrid Elite they must be monsters!
-
Really interested to say the least.
-
Reax reminds me of a Break.
-
Gotta love both of these concepts! Very jealous that I didnt get picked! Might still pick both up though!
-
Congrads to all that were chosen !!
I didn't even bother making an attempt, I don't do the social media thing, don't do videos either. Hell I doubt if someone took a video of me they could see pins or ball going down lane. I'm 5'6" tall and as wide, lol. At 61 I bowl 3 games a week, never practice and manage to maintain a 207 average, what more could I ask for. My best days are behind me, let the youth handle it !!!!
-
Got to say I'm impressed with this.

Phil, what can you say about the covers? Specifically if you can mention or hint at what family the Yeti and Reax share with Brunswick? I will be placing an order this week being on Advisory and wanted to know some comparisons if possible.
-
Really have no comparison. We build a system and add and subtract additives until we get a motion we desire. Our covers are unique to Radical.
-
That news right there might have just sold me a ball or 2.

Phil,
Is the offset core in the Reax the same core from the Faball Hammer 3D offset? I still have the Violet 3D offset that I shot my lone 300 game with!
-
Anyone know when / where videos for either one of these will show up online?
-
Similar Technology not the same. Also covers have changed a significantly since then. I believe we have perfected the core and cover match.
Thanks

I am new to this forum but I am hoping to get some information about the two new radical bowling balls. There are no dealers in our area or bowlers who have bowled with any Radical bowling balls to ask.
I am looking for a new bowling ball for my daughter. The bowling ball would replace her Brunswick NeXXus, which has over 250 games on it. The ball has been drilled to have the maximum hook potential. She has a 190+ average in two leagues and has bowled multiple 700 series with this ball. So I looking for a ball to replace this ball.
She bowls mostly house shot patterns but has bowled multiple bowled sport bowl tournaments. The NeXXus has NOT been a good choice for the sport patterns.
Would either of the new Radical balls work as a viable replacement?
Thanks, Roger
-
Not sure of the perfromance of the Nexxus, our strongest ball would be the Reax.
Hope this helps
-
Roger the ReaX will perform similarly to the nexxus with more overall hook and a little bit longer and sharper motion. Where are you located? I can conjure up some pro shops for you that would be knowledgeable in the radical product line for you.

Will the Mo-tion drill work on either of these pieces?
-
Yes they should make sure the ball will not track over the motion hole before drilling it
-
Reax kind of reminds me of the Colossus
-
Video of the Reax is up on YouTube.
-
Paul,
I live in Columbus, Indiana.

The videos would be a little more useful if the layouts and bowler's specs were listed...
-
I agree layouts would be helpful. Watching the motion of both balls and the carry are getting me excited. I really can't wait to see what these babies can do at nationals. I really hope I get mine before I go in mid-march.
-
Roger ill ask Mo today, coincidently enough that's the town Mo goes to get his medical stuff done in.
-
Yeti is up too.
Reax
Yeti
-
I agree.. In the video, show the layout of the ball if possible..
Both balls look awesome. I can't wait to punch them up..
-
If this is a comparison video.Can we please compare it to something other than brunswicks entry level piece....as good as the ringer is it shouldnt be an even comparison. The video looks good otherwise :)
-
Guys
We have very extensive drilling sheets and patterns, one of the fallacies we fall into is looking at some one else's drilling and than correlating it to the ball motion you'd like. In the video his drill patterns are perfect for his release speed and condition, I assure you that will most likely not be the same for you. Study the drill sheet we posted on this site and you will see how many of the old beliefs do not apply. We do our homework so you don't have to.
-
Great points Phil!! Thanks for your input..
-
received mine yesterday.
-
Phil, you're pretty much the man. Just FYI.
-
I agree on this one. I loved both videos and the Ringer comparison. The ball motions reminded me of my Aura... Would live to see a comparison to that ball or the Paranormal.
Keep up the great work!!!

Smoke and mirrors? :)
-
Reading Phil's post regarding layouts..... from reading mo's dual angle technique articles it appears that using the angle system the reaction is based on the angle measurements. So if this is true say a 65*5*50 layout may look totally different on a drilled ball based on bowler stats but the reaction should be close. So I think posting the layout is helpful to people.
-
I believe the layouts Gregg used in the videos is 35 x 4 1/4 x 30 in the ReaX and 60 x 3 1/2 x 35 in the yeti. Those layouts correspond to midland roll for medium track and the pin over for the yeti drill sheet.
