If the video didn't have anything Radical written on it people would still argue their perspective and agenda for their brand.

Just like car commercials and everything else when you start comparing product someone will start making excuses for some reason or another because they are "offended" that....wait why is Storm/Roto guy crying again? There ball struck and the cartoon said a point about something on the Radical ball being more desirable. Oh how dare they.

Same reason I am sure if EBI brands did it, or Storm/Roto ect they are under the same umbrella and are all competing against every other brand. Why doesn't Toyota compare itself to Scion or Chevrolet to GMC? They aren't competing with them selves but against everyone else.

Me personally I would have loved to see the ball compared with the Mastermind Intellect. It is by far one of the biggest hooking bowling balls I have thrown. I haven't seen anything close from DV8. The Schizo is a lot of ball but would be much longer and more controlled down lane. The new Thug is a step down from the Schizo.

After throwing the Intellect I sold my two Gurus without drilling because i do not need that much ball 98% of the time.

 I find this all extremely humorous. For years all the manufacturers have heard was you wish there were comparative videos out there showing one companies ball against another's.  We put together a very scientific based test eliminating as many variables as possible and all we are getting is grief and now personal attacks. What joy it is to spend time on Ball Reviews.
Instead of saying its a step in the right direction, we get blasted.
Well we are going to do more videos and we will continue to show the comparisons.
For those that got their butts hurt, sorry.

I am for the comparisons. I think it gives a good idea of out of box comparisons from one company to the next. Most are only crying because of the comments made in the videos which they deem as negative for some reason.

For many casual bowlers it shows them what they want to see. Many may still get another ball from another brand but they have a much better visual of how it compares to the other brands in the same price point.

You do not need a perfect scale, or a magazine guessing at what the results maybe if you have a throwbot and a lot of time to literally throw them side by side.

I've never seen any of the other companies make a comparison video. Why haven't they? Phil is right we as bowlers have been asking for this video heck I see the question on the boards asking to compare this ball to this ball to this ball.

I am a RotoGrip user and don't feel slighted or threatened by the video. In fact, I throw the Sinister (290 first game out of the box on league night) and I still love the video and appreciate the comparison test.  I look forward to future videos - keep up the good work.

I as a bowler and ball driller get asked all the time how one ball will compare to another. I've told several bowlers that I drill for that they need to watch this video. They don't use any Brunswick, DV8 or Radical products, but this is a great comparison for them to see how their brands roll, reaction wise versus the three products. I try to tell people that the bowling balls coming out of the Brunswick plant isn't anything like they had produced before and to give them a shot! Great video and please keep up the awesome work on the comparison videos!!
