I recently dove headfirst into the world of Radical balls! I didn't have to wait long for some very positive results either!
I recently bowled my first 800 series with a brand new Bonus pearl! I had taken it for a spin in two different houses with vastly different results. In my home house this ball wanted to go long, long, long, with a pop at the end! At another dryish house, this ball in out-of-box condition wanted to turn up early, much like a solid. So......took it to my spinner and knocked off the original polish with a worn 800 pad. Cleaned it, and then re-applied Powerhouse Factory Finish polish for 20 seconds on six sides
Ball got through the fronts clean as a whistle in the dryish house and came roaring back like a freight train! I ended up shooting 290-279-255!!
I had been attacking this house with my Counter Attack solid, but it wasn't always strong enough to get the corners out.
Very, very consistent ball motion and backend reaction! Now that's Radical, baby!
