Title: New to Radical
Post by: Radical_Lane on December 24, 2017, 05:36:36 PM
Hi everyone, about two months ago I switched from a multi brand bag(Hammer and track) to all radical (Quick Fix, Xeno Pearl, and Radical Spare). After throwing these for the last few months I finally threw my first 300 game yesterday and threw another one today. I have become a huge fan and will keep using Radical.

I too have been impressed with my first two Radical balls. My Guru Mighty is a good ball, but recently have had some really good results with a pin down Ridiculous Pearl that I took to 3000 Abralon by hand. I see more Radical in my future.

My favorite Radical ball is the discontinued Rave. 16# of pin up destruction. Nice and predictable and not too jumpy off the dry. I knocked off the factory polish and let it do its thing. No complaints.

I'm checking out the Cyclops Pearl. Pin down.

Katana is a nice ball, I really like the way its rolls off the back for me. Strong move for sure.

I own only one Radical ball - the Ridiculous Asymm (red ball).  Wasn't that great for me with the out of box finish.  I hit it with 500 grit pad and I think I added some Royal Compound (it has been awhile).  In any case, I love it now on a 44ft. house shot for games 2 and 3 of a 3-game league set. If I could, I'd etch in a new name on the ball and call it the Ridiculous Auto-Strike!

I had to knock the wax off mine as well. Then it came alive! I'm sold on Radical.
