What Radical piece will compare to Hyper Cell Skid
« on: January 19, 2015, 03:42:20 PM »
Two of my team mates have just gotten this ball and make my Yeti untamed look like a Urethane ball.  Will the Unleashed compete?

I'm thinking the new Guru Mighty and Brunswick Mastermind Scholar will compare more favorably to the Skid.

Spencer...

Good thoughts. Will need to see the info on the Guru Mighty and Scholar to see if they can compare or not from a info sheet perspective.

I really hate to ask, but if you like the hyper cell skid, why not get that?

It may have been asked already, but I wasn't going to look through all the replies.

I love my radicals, but if I see something else I like, I will get it as well, no matter the manufacturer.

Yeah.  Thanks for your comment.  If I wanted a Hyper Cell Skid I would have bought one but since I don't, I asked my question.  Ta-dah!  The question has been answered by the Guru Mighty.

You have a few options.

1.) New Mastermind Scholar
This ball is very clean and suppose to have the biggest change of direction coming out of Big B's plant right now. Great piece and from what I'm seeing this ball looks great.

2.) Mighty Guru
This ball is suppose to be cleaner and have more pop in the back. If you look at the vid of the ball that Radical has provided you will see recovery that's off the charts.

Mid Range

3.) Uncaged
The MOtion hole Uncaged flip like no other and has some of the best carry I have seen from a pearlized symmetrical in sometime. I have 3 and all of them are great.

4.) Jab
Rob from Laneside reviews told me that he has one with a MOtion hole layout and he said it was too strong from him. I have also seen the Jab tested at our alley on different conditions and it looked very impressive. An excellent skid/flip piece.

5.) Grease Monkey Whack
This ball looked sick in a few reviews I have seen. Great skid/flip reaction. Very clean and restores plenty of energy. I think this ball will be a sleeper like the Uncaged in regards to great performing pearls.

When I saw the Hyper Cell Skid being used by 4 other bowlers the balls listed about performed out performed it. The Hyper rolled well, but the carry the others above showed don't seem to take a back seat to it. Plus a few of these balls cost wise would be cheaper than the Skid without losing anything in the performance department.

Big B has done an excellent job in the skid/flip area. They have the most covers and really pushing the envelope on ball performance right now.

There is no way your mid range stuff listed will compete with the Skid. I can assure of that. The Scholar is lazy in comparison and the Mighty a touch longer, imo. But when has a B staffer not overhyped their products?

 It's like if someone from Motiv comes and compares the Skid with a Venom Shock or with an Apex lol  ;D

Coach big B, I get you have a job to do promoting Brunswick products, but don't lie and don't confuse people by saying that a ball like the Whack can be compared with the Skid, it is ridiculous!!!

seems real far from the truth and i agree with L3nn0n, you can't compare one company ball to another. I love brunswick but thats just false advertising saying every ball listed above outperformed the skid, wayy extreme assumptions. Storm is skid flip king for a reason and yea Big B has improved but they're still way out of their league

What can you expect from a guy who has 30 posts and only uses his account to say how "awesome" all the brunswick products are. He bowls at least 800 series every week with a different ball! How amazing is that? And yes, I know all staffers are kind of the same, exaggerating about how good their products are, but there are boundaries and this guy is completely out of line.

Again, a Whack compared to a Skid? You gotta be fricking kidding me!! Do you think we are idiots? Come on man, give us some credit, and respect yourself and Brunswick.

By the way I have 2 brunswick balls and I love them, I also have Motiv and I love them too, so I'm not a fanboy trying to bash any particular brand.

yea the guy has a job to do which i get, but at the same time that list the most far off list I've seen (minus one or two pieces) its almost scam like. Imagine you go to a pro shop and say i want a skid and the pro shop guy says don't get the skid get the whack its like the same thing but cheaper.

Its all relative to the bowler and the condition. Skid snap can be found from a large number of balls. Too many factors too little info.

Ive never had an issue getting that reaction from Brunswick since 97 but you have the die hards that have since before I was bowling said Brunswick only makes rolley equipment.  Just laugh and bowl on.

Not in this case. The staffer is suggesting that balls as the Jab or the Whack are similar or can be even better than the Skid. The thing here is that the Skid is designed for Heavy - Medium oil and the others don't. You can adjust surface but that is not the primary objective of the ball. You can compare the Skid with the Almighty, the Scholar, etc... But not with every skid snap ball available in the market! Some are for lighter conditions, etc... You get my point? If someone goes to a pro shop and asks for something similar to the Skid, I assume the PSO would never recommend a Whack or a Jab! It is false advertising in here, in China and everywhere else. Plain and simple.

L3nn0n,

The way you feel about this guy and his posts about Brunswick produced stuff (Bruns and Radical) matching up to the Hyper is the way most of us felt about you and your post about being charged a restocking fee when you wanted to return or "exchange" a ball that you received that was sent to you as you ordered but felt it was out of line for the company to charge a restocking fee and make you ship it back on your dime. At least the guy hasn't deleted his posts yet unlike you and your thread when everyone tried to tell you that you were wrong and didn't want to hear it even though the company said one line in an email that was very poorly worded and was an improper response to any customer.
