COMMENTS
Likes: Really like what Phil, Mo, and the Radical Team have done with this ball. The Score sets up to be the perfect benchmark ball in the Radical line up. With the different additives that the Radical Team has used in the coverstock it really shows how many options Phil and Mo have. The Score projects very nicely through the front part of the lane and as it transitions in the midlane, you can really see the ball work with the darker colors and the yellow graphics, it doesn't look for the pocket early, like the original Reax did, it continues down lane further, similar to my Reax Version 2, before making an incredibly strong move to the pocket.
Dislikes: None for me at this time.

The ball is drilled pin under center and kicked out 45 degrees. It has a 3"-4" pin and 3 oz of top weight.
Likes: I really enjoy this ball and how smooth it rolls. I would like to put this ball in the hands of the bowlers who loved the original Yeti. I think this will be a great replacement for the house bowlers. It is very smooth down lane with a continuous arcing motion and continues through the pins upon entering the pocket.
Dislikes: I do not have any dislikes with this ball. It is very smooth and versatile.

Likes: The Score is a great benchmark ball and is typically the first ball out of my bag. I went with layout A (50 x 5 x 40) from the
included drilling instructions and ended up with no hole. The ball rolls exactly as expected; very clean through the front part of
the lane with a medium mid-lane read and good continuation down lane. I have been able to use the Score on a wide variety of shots
and it responds very well to surface adjustments.
Don't forget about the Score contest where you can win great prizes if you shoot 300!

COMMENTS
I had this ball drilled specifically for the above pattern which plays fairly dry in this particular center. We use this pattern in our classic league and I had struggled the first 2 months of the season with other Brunswick equipment.
I have this ball drilled very mellow and in the 7 weeks I've used it I have 3 700s with it in the league and my average has risen 12 pins. It's very smooth and predictable, I wouldn't hesitate at all to use it as a benchmark ball on any medium to light pattern.
Likes: Smooth and predictable
Dislikes: Not great on tight back ends

The Score is an excellent ball for those looking for control but with tons of hitting power. This is typically the first ball out of my bag. Mine was drilled 40 x 4.5 x 35. I have average speed with 375rpm and this ball is money. Great for medium to medium-heavy oil. If you have just 1 ball to buy this season, you can't wrong with the Score!! It's just a great all around ball for any type of bowler.

Likes: This ball is the first benchmark asymmetric ball I've seen on the market. The reaction is perfect for medium conditions. At league this one is definitely key... The reaction is strong and predictable. It doesn't over-react off the dry and rarely splits. Plus when you buy this ball you have a chance to win big with an opportunity to win part of over $5,000 in prizes.

Comments:
First I would like to say how great the Score ing challenge that Mo and Phil are doing with this ball. In my area I have a lot of people asking me about this ball just based off the potential of winning $$$. The great thing about this ball when people ask me about it, is that the ball can sell itself. I tell people, if you are looking for Mr. Predictable in a ball, this is the one for you.
I drilled this ball the same way I drilled my Version 2 Pearl, where the pin is under the ring finger and the MB is in strong position. I wanted something that gave me the initial read on all patterns. The Score is the type of ball that you start with on everything, from house shots to challenge patterns to US Open patterns. The Score will show you the path to the pocket and then if a ball change is necessary you know exactly what is needed. I have used this in league on wood and synthetic as well as on multiple sport and challenge patterns, and the ball is just strong midlane and predictable finish through the pins.
The score is an asymmetrical ball, but it does have a very small Asymmetrical diff, so based on the drilling it can come out to being very close to a symmetrical ball. The ball to me and other's I have watched is surprisingly stronger than I initially thought it would be, they wrapped the original Reax core with a much more stable cover to prevent the roll out or to long of motion that you saw in the original Reax line.

The Radical Score is to my opinion the best Mid-Price range bowling ball on the market. With the latest coverstock that wrap the already proven Reax Core provide a cleaner ball than the original Reax and Reax 2. It's a great combination for a benchmark ball at a lower price and for me it's the case. When I play on condition that I don't know or never played on, it's the first ball out of my bag.
I drilled it like my old black Reax with the pin a bit further (70*4 1/2*30) and used a 2000 pad to give it a better read on the lane. Surprisingly, the ball keeps a lot of energy down the lane that allows me to play it tighter on fresh or open up the lane when it drys up. Like every Radical ball, the coverstock respond pretty well to changes of surface and never seems to get tired of it.
It's a great addition to any arsenal or to start one! It's a high performance ball at a mid-price range. Plus, you cannot forget that this investment can give you a lot of money. With the Score Contest, it's a 59,000$ giveaway if you shoot a high series with a 300. Here's the link for the contest form:

COMMENTS
Likes:The Score was my least favorite ball that Radical had in their product line. Once I got 6-7 games on it, it came alive. The Score is marketed as a great benchmark ball and I couldn't agree more. I can throw the Score in practice and know whether I have to ball up or ball down, or get lucky and keep using it. It rolls just enough through the oil and doesn't over react to the dry. My Score is drilled with the pin above ring and MB in a strong position. The Score for me fits between the Guru and Reax V2
Solid. It is 5 boards less than the Guru and 4 boards stronger than the Reax V2. As with all Radical balls, the cover takes surface changes very well. I recently took mine from OOB to 1500 Siair for a tournament. It blended the flat pattern perfectly.
Dislikes:Took 6-7 games to come alive.

I drilled my Score 75* x 2 1/4" x 60*. This is a much shorter pin than I typically drill. I chose this drilling to give me a bit of versatility from my existing equipment. Being a similar core to the original ReaX line, but a stronger shell, I wanted to be able to get left with a stronger ball and play closer to the dirt on the THS. In the 2 centers where I bowl I need to constantly modify the shell, anywhere from dull to shiny. This ball still maintains the phenomenal characteristics of a strong ball going through the pins, but allowing me to get to a different part of the lane if conditions dictate being closer to the ball track.
NOT TO MENTION..... When you buy this ball, you are eligible to win MONEY! No other ball on the market can say this! Whats more.... you can also win a free bowling ball, in addition to $$!! See the Score Contest (http://radicalbowling.com/uploads/downloads/Radical_Score_300_Contest_Form_092314.pdf)
Bottom line, the ball is REALLY good. The offer to have a chance and win some money, something that no other ball on the market can say. You need to buy this ball....it can pay for itself!! Radical Bowling Technologies, the best "up and coming" brand on the market!

Likes:likes very thing. one of those balls you have to have in your arsenal. Very smooth through the front part of the lane with a strong but nice transition at the back end on most conditions.
Dislikes:The only thing will start to hook up early when the lanes start to dry out.

The Score
This ball has the Reax core in it. This ball is very clean on the front part of the lane. It has some kick on the back end. It goes longer than the black Read and flips more on the back end. It isn’t a heavy oil ball. It is in the medium to lighter volume oil. I think it is great for house shot. It will work on your sport shots. This is a good additions to the Reax line. #WowThatsRadical.
