We built and sold more than 153... not sure where that number came from. International release.

Is Squatch the Yeti core?

Well, that explains it.

Epic.

Public relations isn't a strong suit.

Hey at least he comes on here even though he knows he is going to take crap. This place can be a pit of vipers (or endless staffers with 7 total posts and aol addresses in their user name who never respond after getting called on their BS) sometimes so not your typical public.

Well, “new guy†got a Dragon a few weeks ago and really like it. Liked it so much in fact I just got a Og Katana on eBay for a really good price. Been awhile since I’ve had a pearl.

Thank you for the Support!!!
It is well appreciated. We have some really good stuff, like the Conspiracy and if you need a symmetrical ball try the Squatch its pearl and clean through the front and has some flip down lane, original Yeti core and new cover formula.

Sorry but the 'new' legend Katana looks like a f***in Rhino!

Where are the Rack Attack replacements? How many hook monsters are needed?

In the works, unfortunately hook sells and we are in the ball selling business.

^^^^^^ Response of the Year.

I get that, and it is definitely unfortunate. Unfortunately, your current weakest ball hooks way too much for me where I bowl. I've tried high grit and high polish, and I've tried lower grit. My son's go to ball is his Rack Attack Pearl.
-
Plus Brunswick proper kind of specializes in weaker balls so easy to see why less of a focus by Radical in general. I totally agree though. By far my most useful Radical ball is my weakest (Cyclops).

Chicks dig the hook ball.

It seems that most house shots now are fairly light in oil and lower end balls are working better for most people. The people who buy balls advertised as he most hook are not seeing it, because they burn up too soon. I wonder if weaker cover asym balls will be the next trend to give us the pop needed without burning up?

Idk where you guys bowl where everything is “light oilâ€, here in Chicagoland when I sub on house everything is cliffed. It makes sense to get the stronger balls, take a step left and play the puddle.

Most of the places I've seen like that are East coast. It's like there's a oil shortage.

I know here out West it's more an issue with friction. Most places around seem to be higher friction surfaces. Luckily we have a monthly scratch tournament at a house that is lower friction so stronger covers and/or quicker response to friction is actually needed

Several years ago I worked with a junior bowler who had a lot of potential, but he tried to hook the entire lane every time he threw the ball. I asked him if he'd rather have better scores or the big hook, he said he'd take the hook. When I asked him why he said "it impresses the girls". He never did fully develop to his potential. -- JohnP

But the $64000 question is... Did it really impress the girls? Asking for a friend. :P

Why no Dynamicore in these? If that makes the difference Brunswick says it does, why not put it in the Radical pro level balls? They did in the DV8 Pitbull Bark
-
The overseas version, Katana Izoy...(sp.) has the dynamicore in it is what i was told by a friend and by all the marketing material with the ball. As to why they wouldn't start putting the dynamicore in the new 'Legend", thats something newguy could answer.

It's coming. Radical will have the Dynamicore technology next year I believe. Something about it being too late in the production/development cycle to add it in now, and they wanted to wait and see if there were any negative side-effects before jumping in on it. Apparently there are none.

SQUATCH!!

He did seem to always have quite a few girls hanging around. I've lost track of him now, but the last I knew he was living the single life and enjoying it. Hope that helps your "friend". -- JohnP

Mental note: Need more hook.

Just now joining the Radical Revolution! Liked the Conspiracy so much I've bought a few more to try different layouts on and pre ordered the Katana Legend. Love the youtube channel too. I've mostly thrown EBI stuff so I'm still doing a lot of research on your lineup. Now I may have to try the Squatch too hahahahaha.
