After months of studying and testing these are the results, the Radical Results. The Radical bowling ball company has produced a high performance ball that has a powerful motion as well as the continuation a shape that Radical is known for. This ball has an asymmetrical core with DynamiCore that is covered with TP1 (textured pearl) coverstock making it plenty strong for heavy oil but can be tweaked for medium oil.

Length: 40
Volume: medium
Type THS
Likes: I am a lefty tweener with rev rate of 280, Axis rotation in the low 60's and tilt at 7 degrees. I found the results to read the midlane early and still punch hard on the back. Miss left and it recovers but not to much and miss in it still rolls through the pins. You will definitely see RESULTS with this ball. The cover is very versatile and can be sanded to get the RESULTS you desire

Radical Results Review
By: James Goulding III, Radical Regional Staff
Stats: Speed – 17.0; RPM – 335; AT – 20; AR – 65
Layout: 35 x 4.5†x 55 (no x-hole)
The Radical Results is a breakthrough in core technology. It features our TP-1 textured pearl cover, and newly developed core technology whereby they were able to increase the intermediate differential and lower the total differential to create a more dramatic motion off the spot but still maintain the continuation and shape that has made Radical the industries technology leader. I chose the layout I did to get the ball to roll forward a little later, and transition a bit slower to really utilize that longer, stronger roll phase of ball motion. I have used it on a couple of different patterns and here is my assessment:
42 ft. THS (typical house shot): The Results has been a very strong ball for the house shot in two centers I frequent. What I love about this ball is that it chews through the oil, makes a defined move off the spot, but is still predictable enough to control from shot to shot. The one thing to avoid with the Results is to get it into the friction too early, as this strong pearl asymmetrical ball will roar from out there and won’t quit, and you could be looking at trouble. But, that aside, this ball is awesome. Very versatile to cover changes, I took mine from box finish, down to 1000 and back up to 3000 polished, and it responds to all of those very well. If you are seeing too much early hook, take the cover up to 4000, too much length, just sand it to 1000 or even 500, it takes to those changes extremely well! Do not be afraid to adjust the surface to your game, this ball can handle it!
39 ft. Don Carter pattern: I just rolled on this pattern a few weeks ago, and the Results was the best ball in my bag on the fresh. This pattern has been modified to have slightly less volume in the middle, so projection and speed control are key, and the Results at 2000 was the perfect matchup. It rolled forward perfectly and hit heavy through the pins, carrying the off pocket hits extremely well. As the night progressed, I was able to move further inside and roll the ball off my hand, and it saw the friction consistently, making my moves easier and more trustworthy, resulting in higher scores and more confidence in the ball.
If you are looking for that “never-before-seen†ball reaction from a high end asymmetric, chews through the oil like the big solids but the strong finish of high end pearls, look no further than the Results. Available now from Moore’s Pro Shop, and pro shops everywhere! Thank you for taking the time to read my review, and join the Radical Revolution today!

Radical Results
I’m a left handed bowler. My ball speed is around 14.5. My Rev rate is around 280rpms. I must say the is the most impressive ball I have ever own. Now I haven’t had a chance to use it on sport patterns yet. Or even get to use it a lot due to the virus that has shut down everything. But when I was using it I was able to play anywhere on the lanes. Up the boards or swinging the lane. The pin carry is amazing. Now I will say it doesn’t like dry lanes. But for the medium and heavy. It’s a great ball. The layout I used is 55 x 4 1/2 x 35. This is a must have ball in your bag.

Drilled up the Results by Radical a few days back. Ball is drilled 5x4.5x45. Looking at this ball out of the box, I was sure it was going to be an absolute hook from anywhere kind of ball. Even though it has a some surface out of the box, the pearl shell gets it to go down the lane with ease and it stores energy to have that strong backend you’d expect. I would definitely recommend this ball for a house shot that hooks a lot, or later in the day for tournaments.

Wow oh Wow
I drilled this up 65 x 4.7/8 x 25 I want a strong pearl so I could have it roll forward. Let’s just say if you liked the OG Katana, your going fall in love with this Mo out did himself on this one. My specs are Rev rate is 398 ball speed is 15.2-15.7, Axis rotation is 60; with Axis tilt at 27. Threw this on THS 43ft, this ball awesome continuation through the pins.

I’m a left handed bowler. My Rev rate is around 280 rpms. My ball speed is around 15 mph. I’m also a Radical Staffer. My opinion on this ball. I love this ball. It seems to work well on my house shot. Unfortunately with the COVID-19 virus.
I haven’t been able to use it on different patterns. But I feel very confidently it will work great on on other patterns. The layout I put in it is 55 x 5 x 35. The surface finish is factory. I’m looking forward using this ball again once bowling centers are allowed to reopen.
Radical Staffer,

COMMENTS
Likes: Backend Recovery, Sure Midlane Read
Dislikes: none
The Results is flat out the most angular ball on the market. I was concerned with this much asymmetry that this ball might go forward too early and quit. There is no quit with this ball! It reads the midlane slightly and then hangs a left. The Results rarely goes forward and gets stronger with more surface. It is also nearly impossible to miss the breakpoint. Stand left throw right is what this ball specializes in. I can see this ball working for most styles with the proper drill pattern. If you want skid flip this ball flat out gives Results!

COMMENTS
I went with the famous short pin layout on this ball and it does not disappoint. It took me a little bit to get used to being my first short pin in quite some time. Since then I have learned I can still cover plenty of boards with this ball. Good scores have come from this ball and more backend reaction I have seen out of any other short pin ball I have drilled. It is clean down lane, makes a consistent turn and loads of hitting power left over to obliterate the pins.
