    Radical "The Hitter" Review (with video)

    I drilled The Hitter to (hopefully) be my long awaited replacement for my favorite Radical ball of all time, the original Conspiracy. Needless to say, early returns say my wait is now over! The Hitter uses a new core shape and the Utility Solid cover, so you get that big sweeping motion, with...

    Radical Katana Hybrid Review!

    The Radical Katana Strike fills the hybrid asymmetric void in my bag, fitting in perfectly between the Katana Assault and the Innovator Solid. I drilled the Katana Strike 40 x 4.25" x 70 to give me a longer transition from skid to hook to roll, and a strong pin to make sure it flares good in...

    Radical Crypto Boom Review (with video)

    The Radical Crypto Boom is a pearl version of the original Crypto but enhanced with HK22 base additive. This gives the Crypto Boom a much cleaner look through the front part of the lane, and a big sweeping motion on the backend. I drilled mine 5 3/8” x 25 for length and snap, and that is exactly...

    Radical Innovator Solid Written Review (with video link)

    The newest release in the Mo Heritage Series is the Innovator Solid. The Radical Innovator Solid uses the very aggressive MOtion Magic Plus Solid cover to create a stronger and earlier motion. I drilled this one 60 x 6” x 30 to mimic a short pin layout motion, but for a higher tilt player such...

    The One Remix: The ball that does it all!!

    I was excited to see how The One Remix performed, especially after being such a big fan of the original The One. A lower RG ball, with a huge Diff and Int. Diff, combined with the Gb14.4 solid cover, you would think it would be an early rolling flare monster, but when I drilled it and threw it...

    Here is my quick three shot video showing the impressive new Bigfoot Hybrid from Radical!

    Radical Innovator, a new era in asymmetric performance!

    I drilled the Radical Innovator with my favorite asymmetric layout, 45 x 4 x 35, to give me a good amount of flare while still allowing me versatility across a wide variety of lane conditions.

    Radical Crypto: This bet is a sure thing!!

    The Radical Crypto is probably my favorite symmetric solid that I have drilled in a long time. My layout was 55 x 4.5" x 30, to give it a benchmark reaction for me from this upper end solid, and this ball did not disappoint. It gives me an old school, heavy rolling solid, chews through the mids...

I drilled the Trailblazer Solid 55 x 4.5" x 30 as a benchmark type of layout for me, being a medium rev, medium speed lefty...

    Radical Sneak Attack Hybrid: More bang for your buck!

    I am a medium rev, medium speed lefty and drilled this Radical Sneak Attack Hybrid to be the go to ball when the lanes get a little crispy, or the volume is less on a sport pattern. I have used this ball on Wolf and on two different house shots, 39 ft. and 41 ft., and this ball really impresses...
