Radical Ridiculous (http://radicalbowling.com/balls/ridiculous)
40x4x40 (1500 Abralon)

Personal Stats:
400-450 RPM
18-20 MPH
PAP - 5 5/8" over, 1" up
Axis Tilt - Estimated 8-12 Degrees
Current League Average: 238

Intended Use:
With the 40x4x40 layout, I was looking for a smooth, controllable symmetric motion that allows me to get left but not have a big "jerk" off the spot.

Reaction:
At OOB surface, I had a little bit of over/under. The natural characteristics of the ball were to be angular, but the layout wasn't complementing that. I hit it with 1500 and WOW. This ball became a great strong motion that's still fairly clean up front for having a decent amount of surface.

Overall:
Took a surface adjustment, but this ball definitely has a place in my bag now. It's a close comparison to the Melee Hook in overall hook, but cleaner up front and more downlane.

COMMENTS

Likes: This ball to me is a kind of benchmark ball ,a good all arounder. it is not to squirty , it is clean through the fronts and reads the mids very nicely. The layout is the same as my other comparisons. 45 x 4 3/4 x 70.... hole down on val 1 inch bit 2 1/2 deep. I used the ball as an out of the box finish. To me I find this very strong arcing and continuous through the deck .It kept the pins low . This gave me a little bit more room for error as compared to some other balls. With this layout of course I could not get real deep and stray the break point . I liked this ball a lot I drilled a second one to be a little stronger at the backs . This ia a pin up layout 65 x 5 x 30 no balance hole box finish as well. This provided me with more length and a stronger motion at the backs . This now allowed me a little bit more "openness" at the backends.

Dislikes:None
