Trying Radical
« on: January 03, 2017, 06:39:33 PM »
Good Evening Guys,

I am looking for some insight. I have been a loyal Hammer guy for years in all honestly and have not been too thrilled with the newest releases. I have had in recent years : Hammer Widow Pearl, Hammer No Mercy, Hammer No mercy Beaten, Widow Assasin, Raw Hammer Jacked, Raw Hammer Anger. I may have missed one or two. I bowl on three leagues so needless to say my aging fleet of Widow Assasin, Pearl and Jacked are pretty much shot. I did not realize how bad until i picked up the new Jackpot.

I am enjoying the ball but do have a couple issues with it. I wouldn't call myself a cranker i think maybe a tweener? I hit around 15.5 mph slide around 8-10 boards left of center and hit the 15 board. This is the first pearl ball i haven't sanded down in one game. While it works well i do have some issues going right and have it over hook pretty badly because of the patterns i bowl on being really dry outside of 7. With that said i want to pick up a couple compliments to it. One with more of a continuous hook to replace my Jacked and one to replace my assassin. The assassin is my go to bowl as it really hooks and usually allows the most room for error. Sadly being i had it upon release its basically dead. I was thinking of the cash but i cannot think of one bowler on my classic league that uses them. In my area Storm, Hammer and Roto Grip are what everyone uses as the most popular shops push Storm and Roto Grip unless you tell them you want something else. The pro shop that has been drilling my balls for years suggested the jackpot.

What would people suggest for a couple compliments for replacements. I think i want to give Radical a Shot

I should Mention i am usually around 210 in three different houses that are nothing a like so i can adapt and adjust.

Red Ridiculous Asymmetric and a Rave or Rave On. All are on clearance right now. Red Asym will be more ball, but smoother than Jackpot. Rave or Rave On will be a few boards less and more angular.

I suggest post your first post on bowlingchat forum. It was started by Mo Pinel's followers, he is one of the two founders of Radical and the site is very well represented re Radical equipment

The Fix is a great ball, Ridiculous Asym, and the two XENO's.  The Xeno pearl will be coming out soon. 

With what you are looking at, Go with The Fix for the higher hook.  Go with one of the Asymmetrical layouts on it.  Something a little lower you could go with the Rave On.
