radical ball question
« on: August 25, 2016, 07:05:49 PM »
I am interested in getting the primo solid and Guru limited pearl for tournaments. Will these 2 complement each other? I have never thrown radical but I like what I see in these two.

I would recommend the Xeno and Ridiculous Pearl. For me these compliment each other very well for my style (15 mph @ cameras, 350 Rev rate, Tweener, PAP 5.5" over 1/8" up)

Actually the perfect combo is all three, the Ridiculous pearl, very strong backend and clears the fronts very well, the xeno, strong mid lane smooth strong and continuous and the Guru pearl limited which is not as soon as the Xeno and not as long and as the Ridiculous but is still angular.

I have to agree with new guy above. The one thing about Radical is that each ball has it's own shape. What I like about you selection is those two balls will give you coverage for most stuff you will face. Adding the Ridiculous Pearl is another great selection as well. The Limited is very strong for a pearl. The Ridiculous Pearl would be a nice add to bridge the other two. I can't say enough about the Limited and the Ridiculous Pearl. These two balls have done very well in our area and not one person we drilled for have a complaint about the equipment as well.

Thanks for trying the best line on the market. Enjoy and if you have any questions it's plenty of staffers here that can help you with your needs.

Enjoy!!!

I agree with the above. I don't have a Primo Solid, so I can't speak on that, but the Xeno is an amazing ball. Definitely the earliest and smoothest of the 3, and I'd say handles the most oil as well - or at least similar to the Guru Limited.

My Xeno and Limited are drilled similarly with the pin beside the ring finger (maybe an inch or two off). The MB is below the thumb. I have a P4 on the Xeno and a P3 on the Limited. The Xeno is great on the fresh. It is not super early, but more midlane, with a nice smooth motion. Very continuous though. The Limited gets down longer and comes strong, but isn't quite skid/snap.

I went with a motion hole on the Ridiculous Pearl and that ball gets down nice and comes screaming back off the friction. It does not handle oil nearly as well as the other two. Pin is beside the ring on that as well, since my PAP is now over 5".

I also have a Guru Supreme drilled pretty much the same as the Limited that is similar in motion to the Xeno, but probably handles a little more oil. I'm basically saving that for the longer/heavier volume patterns. And I have a Jackpot which is 3" to PAP. Good benchmark on medium patterns.
