You say that but the version of it that someone posted a few posts ago has the Jackpot on it, which is technically the latest release from Radical. So is someone else keeping that sheet updated on another forum? Or is it just not easy to find on their website?

That other reaction chart is updated by Gary Faulkner and new guy posted a facebook link to it I see. (which is the newest as it has the Xeno on it)

But that chart is not on Radicals site.

I know I am in the minority nowadays, but I don't have a Facebook account nor do I wish to open one (which it requests in order to see the page).  So I am out of luck except for Aloar's help, who should be on someone's staff.

this chart is,on page 2,without the new releases. Anyone notice how the red ridiculous moved from more angular to less than the black ridiculous? So does the chart change to benefit new releases?

The new Xeno and the Reax V2 have the same core and numbers with a different cover.  The current ball comparison chart has the Xeno charted to the far right and just left and a little below the of the Guru Supreme. Whereas the Reax V2 was previously positioned almost in the exact middle of the previous ball reaction chart.
The impression I'm getting is the new Xeno is a much stronger ball than the Reax V2.  Yet, when looking at the oil comparision chart the Xeno is shown as a medium oil ball (where the green is) and the Reax V2 as a heavy oil ball (where the green is).
If I am not looking at these chart correctly, which I most likely I am not.  Then could someone please explain how the new Xeno (medium oil ball) could be so close to the Guru Supreme on the current chart?  Thanks

All is relative to the balls in the line at the time the Reax V2 was the strongest ball we had.

OK then, so is the Xeno stronger or weaker than the Reax V2?

Newguy,
Another question, sorry.  You stated the Xeno is stronger than the Reax V2.  The Xeno is a medium oil ball (where the green is) per the latest Radical oil comparison chart. So, does that mean the Reax V2 which 2 1/2 years ago was shown as a medium to heavy oil ball on the oil comparison chart back then, would now be a light oil ball on the current oil comparison chart?

You're putting too much thought into a chart. Most people that had the Reax V2 really liked it on medium conditions to maybe slightly heavier. The chart is a guide not an exact because everyone situation is different

SVstar34,
I understand your comment, but Radical puts this information out there for our knowledge and a way for us to make hopefuuly better decisions in what ball(s) we want for varied applications.  I just want to know how I can measure my Reax V2 against the new Xeno.  Since, I have found my V2 likes heavy oil better than medium oil and the Xeno is stated to stronger, I probably could not find a use for it. But, maybe I am wring about that.
If I cannot put faith in any kind of accuracy in these charts, then why put them out there?  I like the charts and I want to believe in them and use them as one of many tools to help make my decisions about the kind of ball I wish to purchase.
I would still like to hear from newguy (Phil) as he is a industry Guru (no pun intended).  But, thank you for the comments.

The Reax V2 solid has proved to be a ball of choice once lane transition occurs, meaning in most cases it's the second or third ball out of my bag. (I was under the impression the Reax V2 was a heavy oil piece, and all I did was frustrate myself.)

Phil says the Xeno's cover is more responsive. If so, at least for my game, it may be a benchmark piece.

For my game and where I bowl the Reax V2 solid is first out of my bag and it's good for the first two games, then out comes the V2 pearl for game three.
Phil did say the Xeno is more responsive.  To me that means friction, a more noticeable or defined move to the pocket.  He also said it was stronger than the V2 solid, which I equate to being able to more oil.
I would like to hear from "newguy" about "if the Xeno is stronger than the V2 solid, does that now mean today the V2 is a light oil ball if put on the current oil chart alongside the Xeno".
Hope to hear from newguy.  I value your answer.

Spencerwatts,
I received your PM and I thank you for it.  I am in no way suggesting the Reax V2 is by any means a light oil ball regardless if your bowling on a THS or a sport shot.  Like I stated my Reax V2 solid is the first ball out of my bag on a THS on med to heavy oil.
My question is the latest Radical Oil Chart shows the new Xeno as a medium oil ball (green). And "newguy" states the Xeno is more responsive (friction-my interpertation) and stronger (amount of oil it can handle-my interperation) than the V2 solid.  That it itself says the Reax V2 solid based on today's oil conditions (assuming new oils and amounts used) from 2013 till now is now a light oil ball.  Yet, anyone who owns one (me)  knows it is not.
So either the current Oil Comparison Chart is wrong for the new Xeno (medium oil, green) or the new Xeno needs to be reclassified on the oil chart with more green for med. to heavy oil; if it truly is more responsive and stronger, which I believe "newguy" says it is.
If I am wrong, then please tell me WHY.
Where is "newguy" when you need him?
